Bethany, I use almond oil instead of coconut oil as the skin absorbs almond oil much quicker. I found coconut oil to be too oily. I'm doing marketing research with my "kreamy balm" at this time and have no negative feedback!

I use organic Bee's Wax for a stabilizer. If you choose The bee's Wax you need to cook it in and start with a small amounts, Cook it means to use a Doubler Broiler pan (water in the bottom pan,) bring to low heat and melt the wax, you must stay with it and not over cook it, I mix all my ingredients in after the wax melts, (that will sorta harden the wax for a while) but it will melt fast now that it has broken down, you must keep stirring it, sounds like a lot of work but it is awesome. Most people can cure cold sores in one day, and use on cuts, Itch, bites, scratches, scrapes, any skin problem. (You don't want to start with a big batch) I don't have it on my website because I can't keep up with my local customers. Don't use my name, "Super Silver Salve," I like a soft salve myself.

I am thinking of mixing coconut oil ( an excellent antiviral) and base, vitamin E, aloe vera gel and approx. 15 - 20 ppm ionic/ colloidal silver. I would love any feed back from you all about that. Any ideas of things to add, percentages in the mix, etc? Thanks - Beth
