Rose salve is made using rose infused oil. You can make your own rose infused oil following the directions here, just swap out rose petals for the calendula petals, or you could purchase some.
Make a rose-infused oil by adding rose petals in a glass jar with a carrier oil of your choice. This recipe uses olive oil, but any will work. Let sit for 4-6 weeks in a dark cupboard. Then strain your oil.

Once the rose infused oil is ready, you can make the rose lotion bars.
Pour the infused rose oil, shea butter and beeswax into a glass container and heat up in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each heating session, until the beeswax has melted. The double boiler method works for this as well.
Allow to mixture to cool slightly before adding essential oils, if adding.
Thoroughly stir through the pink clay until well combined.
Pour into the moulds and leave overnight until hard.
When set, remove from moulds and store in an airtight container.
To Use – When ready to use, rub a lotion bar onto your hands to warm it up slightly and it will start to melt. Rub into your skin making sure the lotion is distributed all over.
