calendula infused oil

1 ½
tablespoon
beeswax
Instructions
In a 125 ml mason jar, add beeswax and oil.
In a small saucepan, add several inches of water. Place the jar in the saucepan to form a makeshift double boiler.
Warm over low heat until oil and beeswax melt together.
Remove from heat. Allow the salve to cool down and solidify, then cover and store in a cool, dark place where this can keep for 6 to 9 months.
If the salve is too soft, you can melt it back to a liquid state and add more beeswax to firm it up. If it’s too solid, add more oil instead.
