• 1/4 cup dried Calendula (a herb for healing woulds & skin irritations – read more here)
• 2oz Beeswax (equals out to 2 of the 1oz bars or 4 tablespoons – you can also use beeswax pellets so you don’t have to worry about slicing through it)
• 2 tablespoons of Honey (natural moisturizer with anti-microbial properties – read more here)
• 10 drops Lavender Essential Oil (anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, & analgesic – read more here) (optional)

All of these ingredients work together to create a really powerful healing salve. I added a link with each ingredient to take you to a page to read more about each individual element, as well as wrote a little summary as to why I use each one.
