A recipe for a homemade, DIY herbal diaper rash salve that works! Skip the chemicals and additives and make this easy diaper rash salve using infused oil, beeswax, and natural herbs.
Make the infused oil by adding the flowers to a pint-sized mason jar.
Completely submerge the flowers with the carrier oil.
Cover the jar and put in a cool and dark place for 2-4 weeks.
Strain out the flowers, reserving the oil for your diaper rash salve.
Herbal Diaper Rash Salve
Put the calendula infused oil into a pot on low heat with all of the herbs. Do not cook the herbs, just warm the oil slowly and extract the herbal goodness.
Let that infuse for about 10 minutes, keeping it on low heat, then add in the beeswax. Stir it around occasionally until the beeswax completely melts.
Strain out the herbs through a cheesecloth into a glass (pyrex) measuring cup, or something similar. Work quickly now as the beeswax will start to harden once it’s taken off theheat.
Pour the strained oil/beeswax mixture into jars or tins for storage. I used three 4 oz. tins.
