Hi Farmgirls!
The weather is getting so cold here already and I've been thinking about making homemade salve this year (in large quantities) to combat dry, chafed and windburned skin in winter. I've heard you can make a really good all-purpose salve from extra virgin olive oil, raw honey and unprocessed beeswax, but I can't find a recipe that tells me how to make it or what quantities of each ingredient to put together. Does anyone have a recipe for salve using these three ingredients?
And by "large quantities," I mean 3 or 4 small jars for family use - wasn't thinking of selling it! I just want to make something we can use for skin issues in winter that have a small number of ingredients, is totally natural and can be made quickly at home!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! :)

I'd also like to find some recipes from other farmgirls on homemade salves, lotions, etc. for the "winter skin" one gets being outside in the cold and wind. Winter is horrible up here where I live. Appreciate the help in advance from everyone who has a recipe to share. |

Thank you, Angie, I would love that! The only reason I picked those three ingredients is they happen to already be in my cupboard and a friend told me her aunt (who has since passed) used to make a salve out of them, but she couldn't remember the proportions. My hunt for that info continues, but I would love to hear what your other recipes are!

I have other recipes if you'd like them. Not one that just has those three ingredients.
Do what you love, love what you do. |
