Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 All Purpose Baby Salve This is a great all purpose natural salve for diaper changes, chapped faces, or to keep scrapes moist for less scarring when healing. 4 oz of olive oil or sweet almond oilhand full of dried calendula and comfrey rootAllow to steep in oil for 1-2 weeks or heat (see other recipes for details of how to do this)Now with this base you may add: (Optional choices)Vitamin E OilAloe Vera JuicePurified Lanolin (buy Lansinoh for breastfeeding mothers it is ultrapure)Put all ingredients in pot and on low heat. Add small amount of beeswax (I eyeball about what appears to be 1/4 amount of the container you will be using) until all is melted. Do not allow to boil. After you take off heat, you may add 5-7 drops lavender essential oil. If added while on heat will dissapate. Pour into container and allow to harden. Great Balm for a fraction of what you would pay if purchased. Suzi What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. www.onegrp.com/?mamanott organic cosmetics http://suziesgoats.wholefoodfarmacy.com/__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
