Gardeners Soothing Calendula Balm

Calendula Cold Infusing in Rapeseed Oil

On 6th March this year we started to cold infuse this blend of Calendula petals in locally sourced Rapeseed Oil from a farm just outside Bath.

And today, i am so happy to announce, we made our first Soothing Balm with it by gently warming the oil and blending in a small amount of beeswax. Such an enjoyable process, such sumptuous colours, smells and textures.

I promised you a Gardeners Balm, so i will dedicate this first batch to my fellow gardeners, who are probably feeling the need after some early planting and preparing soil/containers following this amazing warm Spring weather we have had over the past fortnight.

The balm leaves the skin feeling so soft and protected, and we have left out any essential oils so as not to irritate slightly cracked or sore skin. My hands feel 10 years younger!
