Fill a jar you have sterilised with 2 tablespoons of your rose / marigold petals and slowly pour the almond oil over them. Once the jar is full (leave an inch at the top), seal it and leave in the sun for 5 days (15 in the winter as it wil be cooler)
Once the time has elapsed, strain the oil off during the warmest part of the day, squeezing the petals to get all the oil out. Place the oil in a double boiler, stirrling continuously. Add a tablespoon of beeswax 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract, tsp vitamin e oil, and 1 tsp aloe vera gel.
Close your jar tightly, the balm will quickly harden and be ready for use whenever you need it.
