Step-by-step salve making instructions

Salve consistency reference

Lip balm (15% wax)Glides smoothly, melts on contact with skin. Perfect for lip balm tubes and small tins.

Soft body balm (20% wax)Easy to spread, absorbs well. Ideal for large-area body application — hands, arms, tired feet.

Standard salve (25% wax)The classic healing salve consistency — firm enough to hold shape at room temperature, melts smoothly on skin.

Firm salve (33% wax)Solid stick consistency. Excellent for salve sticks, travel packaging, and warm climate use.

Essential oil safety reference

1% dilution (sensitive / baby)For sensitive skin, facial use, elderly, and children over 2. Use half this for children under 6.

2% dilution (standard adult)Recommended for most general-purpose healing salves used on adults.

3% dilution (therapeutic)For short-term use on localized areas — muscle rubs, pain relief salves. Not for daily full-body use.

Never use undiluted EOEssential oils must always be diluted before skin application. Even gentle oils like lavender can cause sensitization over time when used neat.
