Hi! Looking to make a calendula salve but I’m confused by the different beeswax products available. 🙃 🐝 I grabbed a 1oo% beeswax bar at our local life style market and then later realized that a lot of recipes recommend the little white beeswax pellets.

Also, I was planning on using olive oil and after reading a bit more I was wondering if an olive oil/coconut mixture might be a good idea consistency wise? I was thinking a bit less oily if it’s not used for a longer time?

It’s my first attempt so I‘m reluctant to buy the expensive almond, jojoba etc. oils, not to mention that I didn‘t find any organic ones around here. I was wondering how you keep it all affordable with the prices going up and up?
