Calendula or Marigold flowers one of natures most healing and skin soothing flowers, renowned for their abilities to calm & soothe delicate & sensitive skin. This is a pure & natural cleanser which will gently melt away the dirt & grime leaving your skin feeling soft and cleansed.
Ingredients:
200ml Rice Bran Oil or Sweet Almond or Jojoba Oil
40g Beeswax
20g Organic or Unrefined Cocoa Butter
40g Dried Calendula Petals
Chop up the Cocoa Butter and Beeswax into pieces, then add everyting into a bowl over a pan of simmering water, gently melt all the ingredients. When cooled pour through a sieve or peice of muslin into a sterilised jar and seal when it is completely cooled.
How to sterilise a jar? Simply wash the jar until thoroughly cleaned, and place into a heated oven for approx 15 minutes. Wait until cooled before taking out of the oven, and use immediately.
