Ingredients

2 TBSP Beeswax
¼ Cup Carrier Oil such as Jojoba oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, Sweet almond oil, Extra Virgin Olive oil
10 Drops Essential Oil Optional

Instructions

Combine the beeswax and the carrier oil in a microwaveable container and heat for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave until the beeswax is completely melted. Stir in between each heat burst.
This process could also be done in a double boiler.
Add the essential oil if using and mix through.
Pour the mixture into small glass jars or tins.
Let the salve cool and set.
The salve is now ready to label, date and store.
Place the salve in dark glass jars or metal tins to protect it from exposure to light and air. I have also used tubes for easier application.
Store in a cool, dark place.
When properly stored, this salve should last up to six months.
