So I’ve been trying to replicate a salve my sexual life homie has been using but is no longer made. Her therapist suggested a 1/1 ratio at a strength of 2% for CBD/THC, so 4% total. I went for 6% total cause fuck it why not, even made a small 15% batch. NBD, but the consistency was a bit soft in the end. The salve base is simply olive oil and beeswax with some botanicals. So I added more beeswax to the base and made a new batch at 6%. Way better consistency but I felt like I was having an issue homogenizing by virtue of the isolate not fully dissolving. And that sat in the oven for some hours at @180 °F, so my question is two part, can I bump the heat another twenty degrees without risking degradation of the CBD/THC and does anyone have any suggestions for a base material that isn’t coconut oil (she’s “allergic”) that would help form up the base without sacrificing solubility of the good stuff, which is what I think is happening with the beeswax.
Coco butter my dude

Sweet almond oil, beeswax, vitamin E, cannabinoids, (penetrating Essential oils for salve, up to you for lube), Google, use an overhead stirrer or a mag stirrer, hold on 180-200 until all homogenized.
I recommend 50mg/ml salve
17mg/ml lube

This was my thought, was trying to keep to the original ingredients, but I’m thinking a small change is ok.
