Rose Petal Salve: Tutorial

Making rose petal oil is a laborious task, but once it's done, it can be utilized in bath salts, salves, and other wonderful products. The following is a tutorial on how to make rose petal salve, using the  pre-made oil.

Ingredients:
3.5 C. rose hip oil
1.5 C. refined beeswax
1 Capsule Vitamin E

Directions:
  1. Heat the oil in one pan.
  2. Melt beeswax in a separate pan. 
  3. Once the beeswax has melted, mix the ingredients together.
  4. Allow it to blend for a few minutes over heat. Add Vitamin E & stir.
  5. Pour the mix into tin cans or small glass jars to cool.
  6. Your rose petal salve is ready to use...and should have a pink tint to it. If not, it's no big deal - it should smell heavenly!

    1. Hi Daniela. I haven't used anything but beeswax, but my understanding is that you can use candelilla wax as a vegan alternative. I'd be curious to know how it works. Here's a wiki link about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candelilla_wax
