Has anyone ever made this? I buy one that I really like at Whole Foods but last night I was looking at the ingredients and realized it probably wouldn't be that hard to make something similar....I'm just intimidated to learn the process.

I don't know, but I've made homemade diaper ointment before, with a mixer (vaseline and cornstarch, in equal parts).

I wouldn't think that a belly balm would be that much different...

Here's a "sort of" recipe for an all-purpose balm that's really nice for just about everything: healing salve

I'm laughing because I just bookmarked that post of your this evening.       Do you think I could do it in a pot on the stove? I don't have a mini crockpot.

You can use a pot on the stove. When I make balms I use a pyrex measuring cup in a pot of water on the stove. You just have to watch it to make sure it doesn't evaporate on you.

I'll try to find the exact recipe later, but I made a mixture of beeswax, avocado oil, cocoa butter and a few drops of essential oil. I melted the beeswax and cocoa butter in a casserole dish lid over a pan of boiling water.

Beautifully rich and nourishing.
