Vaseline Replacement Salve

DIY

Ingredients

  • 45 ml organic beeswax melted
  • 15 ml shea butter look for fair trade
  • 250 ml sunflower oil* you can use any liquid oil you like here, but sunflower has been found to be especially therapeutic for healing rashes and eczema

Instructions

  • Melt your beeswax in a double boiler, measure out 45 ml to use for your salve. (Tip: Using a heat-proof glass measuring container with measurements indicated on the side make this super easy!)
  • Then add shea butter and melt.
  • Add oil and once everything has melted together, remove from heat.
  • Pour into glass containers and allow to cool.
  • Store salve in a cool place where it will happily keep for several months.

Notes

*Suggest buying certified organic sunflower oil in a dark glass bottle. Avoid clear plastic bottles of sunflower oil because it's likely already rancid.
