Pour the dandelion infused oil into the pot or heat proof container - I use a Pyrex measuring cup.
Add in the beeswax.
Pour several inches of water into the base of the cookpot.
Place the heat proof container in the cookpot containing the water.
Heat the mixture to a simmer while stirring consistently. You do not need to stir constantly, but must remain vigilant to ensure the beeswax does not scorch and melts evenly.
Get your container and funnel (if using) ready by removing the lids and placing them onto the counter next to the stovetop.
Stir in the coconut oil or shea butter after the dandelion infusion and the wax has thoroughly melted and the heat has been turned off.
Stir in any essential oils you are using - I most often use lavender and/or chamomile.
Immediately and carefully into your salve storage containers - glass and tin containers with firm fitting lids work best but less expensive plastic containers with an equally tight fitting lid work well, also.
Store the salve in a cool and dry space out of direct sunlight for increased longevity.
