Calendula Healing Salve - Acne Blend.

Never as a teen did I have acne issues but now as an adult, I do! How frustrating! You may remember my original post on acne- All natural Acne Relief cream. While this does help, I needed something a little stronger. I had made a universal healing ointment: Calendula Healing Salve, and tried it the other day on my face. (littered with acne, scars, and redness.) I was shocked with how fast I got results! With just one application my face was 90% clearer than it had been just hours before! WOW! I decided to take it one step further and combine the original acne recipe together with the calendula salve and came up with this one!

What You'll Need:

• 2 tbs Calendula Infused Oil (Infusing Your Own Oils) (Where to purchase Calendula Flowers) (Where to purchase Calendula Oil)


• 2 tbs Coconut Oil


• 5-10 drops of Lavender Oil


• 5-10 drops of Tea Tree Oil


• 1 tsp Beeswax or Carnauba Wax (optional)

• Airtight Jar or Tin (silicon molds if you're making this into a lotion bar. These would be adorable!)


• Melting Pot


• Stir Stick (chopsticks work well)

To Make:

• Melt Beeswax or Carnauba Wax first, if you're using some.


• Add in and melt Coconut Oil and combine it with equal parts of  Calendula infused oil.


• Remove from heat and add in the Tea Tree and Lavender oils.


• Mix well and poor into your storage container or into your molds.


• Pop into the fridge to allow it to solidify. (It will melt out of the fridge if you didn’t add beeswax.)

This mixture is nice and soft and melts well on the skin. I pop my solid lotion right out of the container, and use it as a lotion bar. This is easier than trying to scoop some out. (If you used molds be sure to keep the lotion bars in a airtight jar in the fridge.)

It’s best to keep your salve in the fridge, not only will it keep longer, the cool temperature will be extra soothing. Please see our post: Natural Preservatives for your Natural Products for some information regarding safety and shelf life.

Apply ointment several times a day to the affected area.

What Makes These Ingredients Beneficial?
