Salve

"Wilting" the herbs - put them on a screen out of direct sunlight for a day

The mix for the skin salve - lemon balm, rosemary, yarrow, and lavender

Steeping the wilted herbs in olive oil for an hour and a half in a double boiler.

That's beeswax, not cheese... Added to the olive oil (after straining the herbs out through cheesecloth) it helps harden it.

A completed sample of skin salve!
