- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup dried calendula flowers
- 1/4 cup beeswax
Place calendula flowers and coconut oil into a glass bowl and set atop a saucepan filled with a small amount of water. Heat on very low, stirring occasionally and being very careful not to overheat.
Allow calendula to infuse in the oil for one hour, strain the flowers from the oil and discard.
Add 1/2 of the beeswax to the oil and heat gently, stirring occasionally until the beeswax is melted.
Remove from heat and check the consistency by dipping a teaspoon in the oil and setting it in the freezer for 1 minute. Add more beeswax if you would like a firmer balm or more oil if you prefer a softer balm.
Pour the mixture into a dry clean jar or container and allow to set for 1-2 hours.
