Hi there~yes, the recommendation is to use enamel, stainless steel, or glass, but not Teflon or aluminum pans for melting your oils. Thank you for stopping by! ~Kori
Hi @Shannon Cahill ~ Yes, once the beeswax and all the oils have melted, you remove it from the heat. Many thanks for sharing your question. Cheers! ~Kori
This salve is amazing I made the one from the learning herb kit had a horrible cold sore coming on and decided to try the salve instead of using Abreva. My cold sore healed within 2 days vs the week and a half with Abreva. My roommate loves it as well.
Hi there~This is a great question. It will depend on where your salve is being stored, the time of year, temperature, etc. Salves should have a shelf-life of several months to a year when kept in a cool, dry place. They could last another 6 months or so when stored in the fridge. The beeswax does help with preservation, but herbal infused oils tend to not last forever because of the botanical elements. Plus, they will lose some of their effectiveness over time. Good luck! ~Kori
made a nice belly balm for my daughter when she was expecting used Argan oil, cocoa & shea butter Jojoba & coconut oil beeswax and a hint of Lavender Eoil It was wonderful kept a sm container and used it on my face it was very gentle & moisturizing Love MRH fair trade & organic products
So many great questions and suggestions! You can definitely try substituting other oils, such as grapeseed. Different oils will contribute to different "shelf life" of the salve or balms, however. You might want to do a little research to see which ones might suit your storage needs. They can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Happy Creating! ~ Kori
Hi there Jessica, great question! I'd say the shelf life is a very long time, perhaps two-three years. Fresh is better though! So only make what you think you'll use in a reasonable amount of time. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions. -Mason
Really happy to have come across Kori's video. He presents it in a clear, crisp way and makes it easy to understand for beginners. Will be binge watching all Mtn. Rose Herbs videos. thks for the lovely salve recipe. A quick question. Have you ever used chocolate mint to make your salves? They are robust in growth and smell divine . thanks
Hi! The lip balm tubes hold approximately .15 oz and the tins come in 1/2 oz., 1 oz., 2 oz., and 4 oz., sizes and the clear jars come in 1, 2 and 4 oz., sizes. You can find them on our website under products: containers and packaging. Thanks for stopping by! ~Kori
If you need to blend oil and more water based liquids, sometimes you can use a small amount of sunflower lecithin or another type. I like to use sunflower. You have to soak the lecithin granules in the liquid for about an hour before you use it in the mix.
Thank you for your excellent instructive videos! Can you use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs? Is one better than the other? You mentioned a video demonstrating using fresh however I cannot seem to find it on your channel!
Thanks for the question, Trinh Do. The weight is going to be different depending on the ingredients used, how many containers made, etc. I am afraid it is a question I just can't accurately answer because I simply don't know. Sorry for any inconvenience! ~Kori
@Nuru305 Hello, You can definitely experiment with butters for this recipe or waxes like carnuba and candelilla to help produce a firm textured salve. Using butters may produce a lotion. Whatever base you use will change the consistency a bit, but the medicinal properties of the herbal oils will still be helpful. Thanks for the great question! ~Erin
Great video! Is there a certain temperature I have to keep under when adding the essential oil to the salve so it won't degrade the properties of it? I heard you are supposed to keep them cool, that is why I ask.
I'm an avid camper, hiker and gardener/landscaper and frequently come into contact with poison ivy, chiggers, biting flys and mosquitoes. On a recent hike someone in the group mentioned Jewelweed when another hiker decided to lean against some poison oak (doh!). Curious, I looked up Jewelweed. Seemed interesting enough, Well, just this last weekend I was hiking, had a mosquito bite making itself known and decided to find some Jewelweed. Seemed rather abundant actually! I rubbed the mosquito bite with it and not only did the itch immediately go away, it never came back! So, think I'm going to go collect some Jewelweed in abundance and use this video to make a poison ivy salve! I live in an area where we have more Farmer's Markets then you could visit in a day so maybe...just maybe...their is some money to be made at this as well? :)
Thank you for this great video. The oil is a beautiful colour. Did the colour change because of the Comfrey or was it originally like that before infusion?
Can I used tinctures in salves? If yes, should i simmer the tincture in the oil until it evaporates or should i add after the wax and emulsify (if i do this will it grow mold?)
Hi Diana~If you are going to use a tincture in your salve, you might want to add it after you've melted all the oils together; at the same stage in the process where you would add any essential oils. With a salve, the herbal properties are best carried in the infused oils. Good luck! ~Kori
I'd like to make this comfrey salve from my comfrey plant. Can you tell me how to do my own comfrey infuse oil? Will this comfrey salve helps ease the pain on a lower back or any muscle pain? Thank you so much.
great tutorial- thank you. I know this is medicinal, but could you maybe make one using shea butter and yummy scents for maybe the holidays. Where do we even get this stuff? Who would you recommend?
Thank you for your reply, and I guess that leads me into my next question then: How do you know if your salve has expired? Does it start to smell rancid? Or does the color change? Again, Thank you!
I love your viseos.Thank you :) I have made alot of tinctures, can I add those to the making of salves ? Also can you make a video of many ways to use the tinctures in different preparations please ? I also want to thank Mountain Rose for the beautiful herbs i recieved in a very timely manner :) I love Mountain Rose...can I move there to work ? Lol ;)
Hi Shari~Thank you for watching our videos! Since tinctures are alcohol based, they do not mix well with the oils in the salves. You can use essential oils in your salves, however. We so appreciate your suggestions and support. Good luck with your creations! ~Kori
Hi there! I made some salve today, and it was a little bit too greasy/oily. Will putting some more beeswax into the mixture take away some of the greasy feel? Thanks!
I have two questions I watched the last video aboit making the infused oil does it have to be olive oil? I have 2 7.7lb jugs of soybean oil can I use that? My other question is for the salve video does it have to be beeswax?
I am just learning myself, but from what I have read you would not want to use soybean oil as it would make very poor quality salve, and after you go to all the work of making salve you would want to use a decent oil for it. Other than olive oil some other choices are almond oil or sunflower oil. I have also been asking about the beeswax, and there doesn't seem to be an accessible substitute.
Celestia Wanderer Hi there! You do not have to use olive oil, you could definitely use a soybean oil in your salve. While it does not have to be beeswax, you will want to use a substitute like Carnauba to get the proper texture: www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/carnauba-wax/profile Good luck! ~Kori
Quick question(s). I made the Jewelweed Salve (it's incredible!) and have distributed it to several friends and family for "testing" (not just it's effectiveness - which seems to be undeniably effective - but also in the packaging, name and pricing, etc.). The first problem is the melting issue. Is this just a matter of the amount of beeswax used? Maybe I used too little? I also used Coconut Oil instead of Olive Oil. Is this more prone to melting? It didn't seem to be as it was solid when I bought it. I actually like that it melts fairly easily (running your finger around the surface vigorously heats it up enough to begin melting it) as the melted form is easier to apply to large areas. BUT! This is obviously something that needs to be refrigerated not only to prolong the life of it but also to maintain its solid state. Any ideas on the melting issue?
i noticed the tins you were using and was wondering if you bought them online? i normally use an altoids round tin because its convenient but a smaller tin would be alot easier to carry
How long are these salves generally good for? Months, years!? Thanks so much for the video. I will try this and will buy my tins from Mtn. Rose. I love those, and the little labels. :)
Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words and for enjoying the video. If made with dried herbs and stored correctly, out of the sunlight, your salve can last for years! Can't wait to hear how yours goes! -Alieta
What about just using coconut oil? That will also harden? I bought a 5 gallon container of Organic coconut oil and it seems to work very well. What are your thoughts? I made a black salve without bees wax and it worked just fine for that. Im just wondering if theres any reason you may think it wouldnt work for other hebs or if theres anything you can add to?
Michelle Formoso Hi Michelle~Thank you for reaching out to us. You could definitely use coconut oil in a salve creation, although you would still want to use beeswax to make it the right consistency. Coconut oil does not really work well for infusions as it hardens if it gets cooler than 76 degrees or so. I like to use a little coconut oil, along with other infused oils for creations. I do hope this answers your question and we wish you the best of luck on your project. Cheers! ~Kori
Thank you! Yes I know what you mean. I had a bit of an emergency situation and was out of the bees wax so I had to get a lil creative lol...It may just fall apart on me if not used up before the weather warms up. I do see what you mean now..Thanks again! :-)
Hi Madison~Thank you for your question. I have heard from folks who've used candelilla and canauba wax as replacement for beeswax in salves and lotions, as well as those who've substituted shea butter. They will not perform exactly as beeswax would in the recipes, but they may very well be worth a try. Good luck! ~Kori
Hi, I really love this video, I just have a question regarding to the formula in this video, what is the quantity compounded for this product (i mean the total weight of all products in small jar, and little containers). Thanks
There are a few things that could happen to let you know your salve is losing its effectiveness~it could start to smell off, the color could change, it could start to look runny or smushy or different, and it could also have some mold or mildew patches (I've had this happen with lotions, but never with a salve, but it could happen). Wishing you the best ~Kori
Great question! It depends on what herbs and what oil you are infusing. For example: if it's a rosemary infused olive oil, that would be safe for ingestion and topical use. Just make sure to research the oils and herbs you are planning on using! I hope that helps! - Gracie
How hard does this salve get? I'm planning on making a pain relief salve to rub on my knee. Would this ratio work or should I use less beeswax to oil for that kind of rub? Thanks.
Hi~Thank you for your question. The "hardness" of the salve will depend on the oils you use and the amount of beeswax. Following this recipe will create a salve that is about the same "hardness" as a lip balm. Keep in mind that when the salve is rubbed into your skin, it will melt so the properties can be absorbed. I hope this helps! ~Kori
Hi i really love your clips : ).....can i ask is it about 28grams of beeswax to a cup of oil? the block in your vid looks like more than that when i measured it in the kitchen thanks
We have purchased products from MRH for years and have never had any problems with them! They have always been courteous and helpful. We have always been pleased with the quality of items received. em2hills
Thank you So much for the wonderful videos!!! By heating the herb infused oil, though still effective, does heating reduce it's effectiveness, as it would with like raw honey or garlic if at too high of a temp? Also Do you have any books you sell or highly recommend?
Hi Hannah~Thanks so much for checking in with us! Gently heating the oil does not reduce it's effectiveness, but you can always let it extract and infuse at room temperature over time too. We do offer many wonderful books on our website at mountain rose herbs (dot) com. We appreciate your support! ~Kori

I'm watching all of your videos while doing homework because your voice and this subject is just so soothing.
this was the most concise video i have ever seen on youtube . thank you for your attention to the little details that make a difference !
Hi there~yes, the recommendation is to use enamel, stainless steel, or glass, but not Teflon or aluminum pans for melting your oils. Thank you for stopping by! ~Kori
I was wondering about that, thanks!
Hi @Shannon Cahill ~ Yes, once the beeswax and all the oils have melted, you remove it from the heat. Many thanks for sharing your question. Cheers! ~Kori
This salve is amazing I made the one from the learning herb kit had a horrible cold sore coming on and decided to try the salve instead of using Abreva. My cold sore healed within 2 days vs the week and a half with Abreva. My roommate loves it as well.
An oldie but a goodie!!!!!!❤
This was super helpful, watched at 1.5 speed.

So many great questions and suggestions! You can definitely try substituting other oils, such as grapeseed. Different oils will contribute to different "shelf life" of the salve or balms, however. You might want to do a little research to see which ones might suit your storage needs. They can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Happy Creating! ~ Kori
What a great instructional video. Thank you.
I need this like 2 yrs ago! Let's get started, shall we?
Love learning this salve very simple
It really is! Glad you enjoyed :) - Gracie
Hi there Jessica, great question! I'd say the shelf life is a very long time, perhaps two-three years. Fresh is better though! So only make what you think you'll use in a reasonable amount of time. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

Pretty cool stuff.
Much appreciated.
Could beetroot powder be added to this to make a natural colored lip gloss ? Thanks for the video I like the label idea its wonderful for gift making.
VERY INFORMATIVE
Once the beeswax melts, do you shut off the stove and then mix the oil or do you leave the boiler on until the oil is nicely mixed?
Shouldn't you wait to add essential oil till salve oil has cooled a bit...?
Can shea butter be used instead of bee wax? This is a great video thanks.
What size are these containers? Also, if you wanted to add shea butter what would be the ratio for bees wax to butter to infused oil? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing!
cool I just ordered your catalogue and will try and attempt some of these myself soon :) moving on to the lip balm :)
Very informative
Would it be helpful to the salve if you put it in a refrigerator for quicker cooling or would that ruin the salve?
If i wanted to make a muscle salve with turmeric and cayenne could I add the powder while it's melted over the heat?
hi you could infused both in oil , different containers will be great.
Thank you for this great video. The oil is a beautiful colour. Did the colour change because of the Comfrey or was it originally like that before infusion?
ZebbiBibi it was the comfrey. I watch the other video.
Love all your videos!! Can you please give me a recipe to make trauma oil?
what can i add to my oils to make more of a lotion consistency?
GREAT instructional VIDEO on making Calendula salve. I am getting ready to make my FIRST BATCH!!😀😄
Can I used tinctures in salves? If yes, should i simmer the tincture in the oil until it evaporates or should i add after the wax and emulsify (if i do this will it grow mold?)

Put comfrey in a jar and fill it with carrier oil of choice. Let it stay for 4-8weeks
great tutorial- thank you. I know this is medicinal, but could you maybe make one using shea butter and yummy scents for maybe the holidays. Where do we even get this stuff? Who would you recommend?
Thank you!
Hi Sir: can you please tell me about expiration date? Thanks
Can I use Neem Oil as a substitute for the Comfry Oil?
Hi @mountainroseherbs , can this salve be used for cleansing?
Great Herbs, of course they've got Great Videos 🏆👍🏆
Thank you so much! ~Mason
Hi do jars need to be sterilized or washed at all before using? I have a case of unopened jars from the pack I’m wondering if I need to sterilize.
love you herb videos and your products. Can I add tea tree oil to it
Hi Mary~Sure! ~Kori
Can this be used daily as a lip balm?
yes. it's what I used.
Thank you for your reply, and I guess that leads me into my next question then: How do you know if your salve has expired? Does it start to smell rancid? Or does the color change? Again, Thank you!
so what can you add to this for aches and pain?
good video!!!
I love your viseos.Thank you :) I have made alot of tinctures, can I add those to the making of salves ? Also can you make a video of many ways to use the tinctures in different preparations please ?

I made some Goldenrod infused oil and some lemon balm and infused oil would it be okay to mix them together to make a salve
Hi Dee, Yes! It's definitely OK to mix them together. Let us know how your salve turns out. Good luck! ~Melissa
I will thanks
Thank you; what if I wanted to use alcohol-based calendula extract; how much of it could a cup of oil+beeswax take, to be vulnerary?
To make smaller batch, is it okay to boil say... 1 tbsp oil and 1tablespoon dried herb powder?
I'm planning on doing this with creosote
Hi there! I made some salve today, and it was a little bit too greasy/oily. Will putting some more beeswax into the mixture take away some of the greasy feel? Thanks!

I use the same double boiler.
How could I turn marshmallow root & leaves into a liquid such as this to begin turning it into a salve?
Can you make your own lavender oil and use that instead of a purchased lavender essential oil?
Absolutely! It just may be slightly less aromatic.
There are a few things that could happen to let you know your salve is losing its effectiveness~it could start to smell off, the color could change, it could start to look runny or smushy or different, and it could also have some mold or mildew patches (I've had this happen with lotions, but never with a salve, but it could happen).

Is white or yellow beeswax best for medicinal salves or herb salves
I need to learn to make my own essential oils. lol Do y'all sale seeds?
Do I have to dry the plant before infusing?
This is great! Where do you get your containers from?
