Calendula Salve
freshly dried calendula flowers
beeswax
olive oil
benzoin oil
Chop the dried flowers and cover them with olive oil. Cover and soak for about 2 weeks. Strain through muslin, composting the plant parts, and add up to 4 parts beeswax to every 10 parts calendula oil. A few drops of benzoin tincture will help the salve keep well over time. Store in a covered container. Apply externally to sunburns, minor scrapes and bruises, or chapped lips.
