Could you use apple cider vinegar and could you use coconut to make the balm?

[@StudioMio95]

Hi Laurie, thank you for your comment! That is an interesting combination! You can probably mix them together however I have never made it with apple cider vinegar and coconut oil so I’m not sure how the finished product will turn out.

could i replace the petroleum jelly with coconut oil?

Hi Valentina, thank you for your comment! You can probably mix them together however I have never made it with coconut oil so I’m not sure how the finished product will turn out.

How much % of Ethanol

[@superodfx]

Over 40% Higher is better

Can you use coconut oil in place of petroleum oil?.

How long does the rosemary oil last before expiring?

[@StudioMio95]

If you use ethanol to make the oil, you can keep it in the fridge for approx. one year but I recommend using it earlier as the scent will fade. FYI - If you use it to make an ointment, it will last about 1 month in the fridge. Please keep in mind these are just general guidelines as this is a homemade product and the final product can vary greatly depending on ingredients and methods used to make it. Hope this information helps!

[@taizbranchust6121]

please, what is the exact concentration of alcohol used?

[@StudioMio95]

I used ethanol 95% in this video. If you are using vodka then I suggest at least 40% 😉

[@smileytheresa63]

I would not use petroleum jelly! I would find a healthier alternative

[@StudioMio95]

Hi there, thank you for your comment! I have been using petroleum Jelly for over 4o years and have never had an issue. I am just sharing with you how I make my Rosemary Ointment. Of course, everybody should do their own research and make up their own mind. If it’s not for you, please substitute it with a different product and experiment, that’s the beauty of hand-crafting 🌟🙂

[@smileytheresa63]

Thank you so much for such a beautiful reply! 😊

Could we use coconut oil?

[@birutybeiruty4469]

Petroleum jelly is vaseline?

[@norma4851]

I’m also with you, Petroleum jelly is horrible for you and your skin. I would never make this. 😢

[@cedricruffin7711]

My tincture is on it's 3rd week and is turning brownish. Should it be doing that?

[@StudioMio95]

Hi there, usually if you use vodka, it will go brown but it is ok to use 😉

[@kimbourland6964]

[@guylainepoitras1030]

People have been using petroleum jelly for a century or more. Doctors recommend it, how is it toxic unless you drink a gallon of it?
