Calendula Salve Recipe
1 cup infused oil
3 Tbsp beeswax pellets
2 Tbsp Shea Butter
10- 15 drops lavender oil
I love the idea of whipped cream body butter. I have been making salves for a long time. Every time I look up a lotion recipe, it has some chemicals listed to add that I don't want to put on my skin. I love the recipe you used--no nasty preservatives. Essential oils have preserving qualities. The main thing is not to introduce water. Water will contribute to bacterial contamination. So one doesn't want any steam to get into the oil (or condensation). Don't put lids on until completely cooled which is what you did. Some people will cover the filled jars with a clean cloth until cooled and the cloth helps to absorb any moisture. Thanks again for a wonderful video!
Whoot whoot... number 76 to like the video! Super excited. Thrilled to see you opening your doors for us. I do alot of Old World Care myself. This spring I highly recommend making a tincture of Lilac in Vodka.... used topically for muscle strains by my family for hundreds of years... Considering my grandmother was born in 1899, I get to say it... but I agree... do not take my word for it. Do your own research. Check with your own Doctors and caregivers. Now to enjoy this video. Hugs from Esquimalt
Oh I’m intrigued! I’ll definitely give that a go this spring! Thank you!
My whipped body butter sticks to the mixer and hardens faster than I can get it off. 😢 I have people requesting lip balm containers rather than tins because they don’t want to use their hands on their face, but I put the same balm I make on my nails, hands, neck and lips. I keep a tin in the car for when I’m stopped at lights to put on this winter. Feels so good! 😊
Kelsey you are looking positively radiant these days! I know you have been going through health problems and changed up your diet. I really hope that’s been helping. You look great!
I’m very interested in buying beef, pork, tallow, etc from a regenerative farm & live in southern PA, how does one go about finding one that sells to homeowners, not just businesses? Thanks 😊
I’m loving this topic of videos! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Thank you! You too! ❤️
Great tutorial. They both look so lovely. Must smell amazing! Val C
The last time I made anything lotion or balm esque was when the internet was in its infancy, and the recipe’s base was shortening (Crisco). It’s probably about time I try again now that cleaner recipes and ingredients are readily accessible via the internet. =) Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience.
oooohhh! Looks good enough to eat with a spoon! I won't be making them...but I love watching you make them! So satisfying, piping that whipped concoction, into those sweet amber jars!
Love making salve! Thanks for sharing your "recipes" ❤
I learned to add arrowroot to balms to make them less greasy on skin.
Looks so good been collecting my calendula the whole summer cant wait to use it ❤❤
What an amazing video!!! Very informative and I love to learn new things. Thank you for sharing it and teaching us stuff like this.
Thank you. This is always so interesting to me. ❤
Thank you for watching! ❤️
👍🏻👍🏻
This is exciting! I’m getting interested lately in herbal remedies and medicinals. Thanks!
Great video as always, appreciate you! 🙂
Thank you sweet friend! ❤️
Some recipes can be so complicated! Thank you so much for simplifying! Incredible! 😊😊
Absolutely! Glad it helped ❤️
Coffee filters work well as a strainer.
Great sharing and have a wonderful day
Thank you! You too! ❤️❤️❤️
You could totally sell those!
Hi! Love these videos!! You break and teach it simply which I appreciate!!
Regardinf your homemade infused oils, I must have missed that video? How much herb/flowers petals to how much jojoba oil do you use and how long does it need to sit? Thank you so much!!
I’m a new subscriber, so I missed it too.
Thanks!
Cathy thank you so much! 😭❤️
Great video, thank you for sharing all your knowledge, I have a tallow balm I purchased with some of the same ingredients, do you think I could whip that up? I think I would like the texture better.
Thank you for the video. I really love these types of videos. Where did you say you bought your little jars? I didn't see them in your Amazon? Thanks!
Thank you! I have them linked in the description ☺️
Thanks for sharing❤
Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
Love this!! I was looking into tallow skincare, it can be very pricey. I find tallow to be intimidating? 😅thanks for your encouragement Kelsey
Sure thing. Tallow is easy peasy once you get to know it!
If you don’t want to whip it how much beeswax would you use ?
I have read that tallow is the best natural moisturizer for our skin. Can this tallow butter be used all over , like getting out of the shower and such? Also is daily too much to use it on your face?Thanks!
Question: can lard be used in place of tallow? Your opinion, is what I am asking. Thank you so much!
Great video!
I personally would not, the benefits are just not the same. I choose to keep lard for soap and cooking.
Is there nothing you can't do! Question: I have tried making tallow balm and it still smells like beef. It feels great going on, and then my dog stalks me in order to lick it off me! How do you get the smell out? No amount of essential oils seemed to help!
Do you sell any of your balms, or have a shop??
Could you use the tallow balm on a baby when changing their nappy?
Absolutely but I’d change some ingredients, tallow, calendula infused oil and some chamomile EO(fine to omit) would be perfect! I use the calendula salve on diaper rash too.
Will any rose hips work or do you need certain roses?
I chose the rose petals for the benefits in their oils. Rose hips have some benefits as well although I’ve never tried infusing oil with them.
Do you sell them???
Could I whip the salve too? I am trying to find lotions I could make myself for all of the body ( rather than spot treatment) so I can stop purchasing from store ( no chem) and can afford real ingredients. I am a sucker for unusual scents ( not just floral)
Hmm, I never tried, I’m not sure the properties are there to make it happen, I don’t think the beeswax would work.
Do the jars have to be amber?
Nope! Any color will do ☺️
I am wondering if the darker amber color of the glass, helps to keep light out...hence keeping the salve from spoiling faster?
