Cosmetic Recipe: Soothing Calendula Healing Balm

Instructions:

1. In a double boiler or heat-resistant bowl placed over simmering water, gently melt the shea butter, sweet almond oil, and beeswax together until completely liquid and smooth.
2. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for a few minutes.
3. Once the mixture has cooled but is still liquid, add the Calendula officinalis Essential Oil and Vitamin E Oil. Stir gently until well incorporated.
4. Carefully pour the balm into clean, dry containers (tins or small jars).
5. Allow the balm to cool and solidify completely at room temperature before covering.

Application Recommendations:

• Apply a small amount of the Calendula Healing Balm to clean, dry skin on areas that are irritated, inflamed, chapped, or in need of healing.
• Gently massage the balm into the skin until absorbed.
• Use as needed throughout the day.
• For minor cuts and scrapes, apply a thin layer to the affected area.
• 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 Asteraceae family plants (like ragweed or chamomile).
• Avoid applying to deep or infected wounds without consulting a healthcare professional.
