Keep your salve in the refrigerator or you can purchase tincture of benzoin as a presevative. I've never needed it, but if you were going to sell your salve you might want to consider it. This is a very basic salve good for cuts, insect bites &,scrapes. Many other herbs and oils can be added or exchanged. In short, you can decide what ingredients you want according to your individual needs. |
