Ingredients you need:
1. Beeswax
Beeswax has exceptional healing properties due to it anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial benefits and has been used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Assyrians for various skin conditions. A great source of vitamin A, it is also a popular humectant for promoting hydration of skin, and an excellent emollient that softens and soothes the skin. I prefer to use beeswax beads for easy melting and measuring in tablespoons for making the salve in small quantity.
2. Shea butter
An ivory-colored fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree oil, Shea butter is also known as the karite tree, which means the Tree of Life. It is used for moisturizing skin and protecting it from harsh environments. It also promotes and accelerates wound healing.

Burt Shavitz, “The Bee Man”, Co-founder of Burt’s Bees
“We lived for honey. We swallowed a spoonful in the morning to wake us up and one at night to put us to sleep. We took it with every meal to calm the mind, give us stamina, and prevent fatal disease. We swabbed ourselves in it to disinfect cuts or heal chapped lips. It went in our baths, our skin cream, our raspberry tea and biscuits. Nothing was safe from honey…honey was the ambrosia of the gods and the shampoo of the goddesses.”
Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees
