Danielle's Homemade Products - All Purpose Salve

I have been making my all purpose salve for over a year now. I have had many people ask me what I put in it and what it is good for. It is coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, tea tree oil, lavender oil, and vitamin E oil. Tea tree oil is a wonderful antiseptic, lavender is as well along with being soothing to the skin. All of the products I use for this are natural products, and organic when I can get them. This salve has many purposes. It can be used with psoriasis and eczema to help calm the irritated skin and help prevent infection by scratching. I am a diabetic and I use it on my feet to keep my heels from cracking, on my hands when my skin is dry from excess washing or cleaning, and on my legs when my skin is overly dry. The ointment style is easy to spread and will melt more once it comes in contact with your skin. I keep a separate bar style for my dog, who has hot spots and the occasional flea issue. It helps protect from his biting and soothes his skin. My aunt Linda has used this on a sore she had on her thumb, helping to close up the sore when nothing else was seeming to help. She even gave a jar to one of her home health care patients that was dealing with bed sores. It does soak into the skin pretty quickly and can be put on both the hands and feet, then covered, and allowed to soak in over night. I keep the excess ointment and bar style in the fridge and take out a jar of the ointment style out to soften when my current jar runs out. The bar style I use straight from the fridge as I think the coldness adds extra soothing for dry skin and hands. This one and my lotion bars with beeswax are by far my two favorite products. The only difference between the two styles is that the bar style has more beeswax added to make it solid even at room temperature.

After confirming that the salve was good for burns, he applied it to his sunburn (he said it was close to being 2nd degree burns in some areas). He called this afternoon to update me, just 16 hours after putting the salve on. He said the salve pulled all the heat out of the burn, reduced the amount of redness (didn't heal the red completely but he had only applied it once), and he was not having any itching or peeling you usually experience with a sunburn. He chuckled and then told me that the acne on his back was also visibly better in just one application. Bonus.
