Notes
Oils have varying properties:
Renown for healing
Hemp Seed and Tamanu Oils
Rich and absorbent
Sweet Almond and Sunflower Oil
Add more beeswax for a firmer ointment, more oil for a softer one.
Use infused oils, like calendula oil, for the greater healing power of the herbs. Make sure these oils are part of your base carrier oil.
