Ingredients

Scale

40 g tallow, gotu kola infused

8 g cera bellina wax pastilles

30 g jojoba oil, comfrey infused

14 g squalane, comfrey infused

8 g raw honey, comfrey infused

5 drops lavender essential oil

10 drops helichrysum essential oil

10 drops frankincense essential oil


Instructions

  1. Using double boiler (or other gentle heat source), heat tallow and cera bellina wax until liquified. You should not see any traces of wax pastilles in the oil.
  2. Add jojoba, squalane oil and honey, stirring to combine until well incorporated.
  3. Pour the mixture into small tubs or a 4-oz mason jar.
  4. Allow to cool completely and set before capping to prevent condensation on the surface of the balm. If the room is warm, cool in the refrigerator to prevent crystallization.

Notes

If you live in a very warm climate, you may wish to increase the wax slightly to create a firmer salve.

I recommend glass containers for storing homemade lotions and potions. Glass doesn’t leach chemicals and it’s easier to clean/sterilize after the product is used up and you’re ready to refill.

If you do choose to use a plastic container, be aware that essential oils tend to react with plastic, so even if you can get it “clean,” your container will likely not be reusable.
