Calendula-Mint Salve
INGREDIENTS:
(1) cup of infused oil (see instructions below),
(1) ounce of beeswax.
If you have a herb garden, you might want to try to create your own skin care products. This one is great for two reasons: calendula has wonderful skin healing properties and wax is a great moisturizer. This salve will bring well deserved relief to your hands after a long day of gardening.
First you need to prepare the infused oil: fill a glass jar with the dried aromatic plant of choice ( in this case dried calendula petals mixed with dried crushed mint leaves) and pour enough good quality oil in the jar to completely cover them. Place a piece of cheesecloth or an unbleached coffee filter over the mixture, secure it with a rubber band and place the jar in a sunny window for 10 days. Do not put a lid on the jar, or you might need to paint the ceiling sooner than you planned.
After 10 days strain out the plant material to recover the oil. Good oils to use are almond oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil.
To prepare the salve, warm but don’t boil the infused oil. Separately melt the wax and pour it into the warmed oil. Pour a drop of the mixture onto a plate and put it in the freezer until it cools completely.
After it cooled, try it on your hands for consistency. If it is too thin, add more wax. If it is too thick, add more oil. Pour the warm liquid in small tins or glass jars and allow it to cool down completely before covering. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to a year.
