DIY All-Purpose Salve
You will need:
4 oz. glass jam jars
1 quart Mason jar
A saucepan
A cup of cold-pressed coconut oil
A cup of olive oil
4 tbsp of beeswax pastilles
A tsp of vitamin E oil
10 drops of lavender essential oil
8 drops of lemon essential oil
6 drops of melaleuca essential oil
How to Make It:
Put the coconut oil, beeswax, and olive oil into the 1 quart Mason jar. Then, fill half of the saucepan with warm water and bring it to low heat and put the jar in it. Stir the content in the jar with a skewer every few minutes until it melts and the ingredients unite. While stirring, bring the four 4 oz. glass jam jars and in each of them, put the essential oils and vitamin E oil in the amounts previously mentioned. Now, fill each of the jars with the melted mixture to half-inch below the rim. Wait for the jars to cool down and the salve to harden. While waiting for this to happen, cover the jars with a paper towel to prevent dust and bugs from entering the salve. Once the salve hardens, close the jars and store them properly. Its shelf life is around a year.
