Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons beeswax pellets
- 2 teaspoons cacao butter
- 8 teaspoons cannabis-infused oil
- 10 drops essential oil of choice
- 1 mL cannabis concentrate, optional
Instructions
- If you haven't already, the first step is to choose your infusion method of choice. You can find many infusion options listed above. If needed, prepare your cannabis oil ahead of time.
- Prepare a double boiler with water in the bottom pan and place it over low heat.
- Once the water is boiling, add the beeswax and cacao butter to the top portion of the double boiler and allow them to melt completely.
- Once they have melted, add in the prepared cannabis oil mixture and essential oils. Stir until all of the ingredients are well combined.
- If you are planning on adding a cannabis concentrate or any other ingredient, stir it in now and mix until everything is well combined. Then turn off the heat.
- Carefully transfer the hot liquid salve to a small glass jar or storing vessel of choice. You can use a pipette to make this easy.
- Allow the salve to cool to room temperature and then cover tightly with the lid.
- Store your salve in a cool dark place until ready to use.
Notes
Additional ingredients: Feel free to add optional vitamin E oil or preservatives like potassium sorbate. You can also add camphor or menthol for a cooling effect.
Measurements: Melting the beeswax and cacao butter before measuring will ensure a more accurate measurement, I melted them in separate mason jars in my double boiler before measuring.
Essential oils: Choose based on personal preference; you can use camphor, eucalyptus, capsaicin, etc. Just be sure to use skin-safe oils!
