Posted - Jun 18 2010 : 5:28:14 PM 2 oz bees wax 3 oz sweet almond oil 1 oz jojoba oil 1/2 oz olive oil 40 drops peppermint spirits (this is different from peppermint essenital oil) 20 drops tea tree
Melt the bees wax over in a double boiler. Remove from heat and add the other oils, stir to mix Add the oils Pour into container wait until completely cooled before covering.
This made a very hard salve, I rub it between my hands to melt it before I apply. The beeswax determines how hard the salve will be, so next time I am going to cut the bees wax to 1 oz and see if I like that better.
Good luck.

Posted - Jun 20 2010 : 05:09:58 AM Oh, thank you, Kathryn! I was just putting "UdderBalm" on my market list the other day, and I haven't been out to get it yet. I would absolutely LOVE to try this one. One question, however - where do you get/make your peppermint spirits?
XOXO, Libbie
