It may not be needed to make the balm but it is really cute and the kids do love glitter.

The first step to making your DIY Lavender Soothing Balm Recipe is to have or make the Lavender infused oil. We did a talk a while back on How to Make Plantain Infused Oil. The plant may be different but the process is the same.

We already had some Lavender-infused oil ready. It is best to try to keep some infused oils on hand so you have them immediately if you need them.

As you know from other talks, we have an herb garden so we keep a supply of fresh herbs on hand, including Lavender. We also keep infusing oils going all the time of several different herbs. It is best, we find, to keep a steady flow of the herbs and oils we use regularly.

To make the DIY Lavender Soothing Balm Recipe:

1. In a stovetop pan heat the Lavender Infused oil.

Do not allow it to boil, you just want to warm it enough for the other oils and beeswax to mix well.
