First-Aid Antiseptic Ointment


This homemade antiseptic ointment is packed full with germ-killing properties that will help treat everyday/minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions. You can use this ointment just as you would a tube of that pricey commercially-prepared stuff.
Best part of this is…you control the ingredients!

-1 1/2 ounces beeswax, grated
-1 cup olive, almond, or coconut oil
-1/4 teaspoon vitamin E oil
