Simple DIY Calendula Body Butter Recipe ingredients:

1 Tablespoon Bees wax

2oz./1/4cup Calendula infused oil

1 Tablespoon Shea Butter

This is the first picture for a Simple DIY Calendula Body Butter Recipe. It shows the ingredients needed to make the body butter.

This recipe will make a firm butter that will melt on your fingers, but you can make it softer or harder as you like. You can also substitute coco butter for the Shea Butter if you choose.

In order to be able to make this Simple DIY Calendula Body Butter Recipe, you will need to have Calendula-infused oil on hand. We keep Calendula-infused oil as we use it often. As it does take several weeks to infuse the Calendula oil, it is always best to think ahead and keep the infusions that you know you will need ready.

We did a talk a while ago on How to Make Plantain Infused Oil. You can check that out if you need to see the infusion process in more detail, but here are the quick steps.

You will need:

Dried Calendula flowers

oil of your choice (Almond, Olive, whichever you like)

a clean jar

1. Put dried Calendula flowers into a clean jar.

2. Fill the jar with your chosen oil.

3. Let it sit in a sunny window for 6 to 8 weeks.

4. Strain, keep the oil, and discard leftovers.

We put the leftover flowers into the mulch bucket.

5. Pour Calendula-infused oil into a clean jar, seal, and label.

And there you have the infused Calendula oil.

This is a picture shows a bottle of Calendula-infused oil with some measured out.
