How To Make Calendula Cream | Two Ingredient Recipe

Please turn on subtitles before watching.

Besides being a beautiful orange flower, calendula has many properties. For me, the most interesting features are the help with sunburn and mosquito bites. Inspired by that, I tried to make a cream that could be used for such purposes. Of course, you can also use it as a body lotion.

For this recipe you will need:
100 ml of Vaseline
35 g of calendula flowers

Melt the Vaseline on low heat. Add the calendula flowers and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the stove, cover and leave for 24 hours. After 24 hours, reheat to dissolve. Strain into a container to store the cream.

Ty so much! I just made a batch using a double boiler and getting the coconut oil hot enough to melt. I then added my herbs and am letting it set as you said. I did add a few drops of vitamin e to the oil. Learned this from Learning Herbs. I really like your keeping it simple. 🥳

Thank you, I will try this with Coconut oil. I will use a double burner (steam pot).

Vaseline is made with petrolium residue not great for the skin but simple and economical if you can’t afford anything else

Vaseline isnt going to benefit ur skin in anyway, instead use shea/ cocoa butter with calendula infused oil. Its worth the effort. And never melt butters on direct heat.
