You have it right Granny : )

I kept reading your posts about nigella sativa and finally figured out from this last post what it really was. Not a cumin at all but caraway. How a caraway seed ended up with cumin as a name beats me! LOL!

huile de tournesol is sunflower oil
cire d'abeilles is beeswax

You are such a great sleuth!

Thank you for the compliments.....

I have attempted to read some of the old cosmetic/perfume recipes, but could only guess.

Yes, I would think that this salve would be a very good one.

Many people think that corn oil is better for the skin than even the olive or almond oils.

Many do not know that it does not need all the additives and
use it as it comes or add a few drops of the essential oils to it, or of course, you can get into the the cocoa butter and beeswax, if you want it to be more like store bought.

If one reads the labels on cosmetics, it will send you a message of "Chemicals and more Chemicals" and very little of what is good for you.
