Cosmetic Recipe: Soothing Calendula Healing Balm

Instructions:

1. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl placed over simmering water, gently melt the shea butter, sweet almond oil, and beeswax together. Stir occasionally until completely liquefied and smooth.
2. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for a few minutes (until it is no longer hot but still liquid).
3. Add the Calendula officinalis Essential Oil and Vitamin E Oil to the warm mixture. Stir gently until well combined.
4. Carefully pour the balm into clean, dry jars or tins.
5. Allow the balm to cool and solidify completely at room temperature before placing the lids on.

Application Recommendations:

• Apply a small amount of the Calendula Healing Balm to dry, irritated, or inflamed skin as needed.
• Gently massage the balm into the affected area until absorbed.
• Use on chapped lips, dry patches, minor cuts, burns, and other skin irritations.
• For baby care, use sparingly on clean, dry skin, such as diaper rash areas.
• Store the balm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies to the Asteraceae (daisy) family.
• Begin with a lower concentration of Calendula essential oil in your formulations, especially for sensitive skin or baby products, and adjust as needed.
