Supplies & Ingredients Needed to Make Calendula Salve
1 cup of calendula oil, or 8 ounces
3 to 4 tablespoons* of beeswax pastilles, or about 1 ounce if you’re using shaved, block, or other forms of beeswax. *If you opt to also add shea butter, use only 3 level tbsp of beeswax pastilles. However if you skip the shea butter, use 4 tbsp beeswax. (Vegan options: replace with soy wax or candelilla wax. I recommend organic soy wax, since conventional soy is notoriously pesticide-intensive.)
Optional: 2 tbsp of shea butter. I personally like to add shea, but it isn’t required! Shea butter is highly moisturizing and rich in vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants.
Optional: essential oils of choice. Calendula has a mild earthy smell, but it is not extremely aromatic or floral on its own. Therefore, I like to add a few drops of certified organic lavender oil to my calendula salve for added soothing aromatherapy. Tea tree, peppermint, rosemary, lemon, or eucalyptus are also great choices! You only need a few drops of essential oils, as a little goes a long way!
A double-boiler, or make-shift double boiler – such as a pot within a pot, or a glass pyrex bowl or stainless steel bowl perched on top of a saucepan with water below. The use of a double-boiler is important, to avoid overheating the calendula oil and thus reduce much of its healing potency!
Small glass jars or salve tins, for storage. We used these 2-ounce amber glass jars for this particular batch, though we sometimes used larger 4-ounce jars too.
Makes: Just over 1 cup of finished salve (about 10 ounces).

WELCOME AND ENJOY BUT FIRST THIS!
Mental-wellness is a self-serving industry that works on convincing people something's wrong with them. When in fact people are just being people. All we need is to learn how to help each other cope with life. Nothing mysterious about it.
