MY FORMULA: INGREDIENTS & WHY I PICKED THEM
DANDELION & CALENDULA: Both of these flowers are naturally anti-inflammatory (so they reduce redness and swelling) + are anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and fight the bacteria that causes acne! So it both attacks it AND prevents it!
YARROW: Is a natural astringent (which means it shrinks and tightens skin and pores), it controls and balances your natural oil production and also balances your skin’s pH! It’s also anti-inflammatory so it helps calm angry blemishes; and it is known to help reduce the appearance of scars.
PLANTAIN: Is a star skin healer because it contains allantoin, which promotes skin regeneration and reduces scarring. It also has anti-bacterial properties which make it a great acne fighter and preventer!
SWEET ALMOND OIL: Besides being “non-comedogenic” (which means it won’t clog pores) and a cold pressed oil (meaning it wasn’t extracted with chemicals or heat) – it’s packed full of the vitamins your skin craves! Vitamin A for starters (AKA… retinol) which stimulates skin cell growth and can smooth fine lines. It has Vitamin E which is known to prevent cell damage from sun/UV exposure. It also has Omega-3 fatty acids that regulate the skin's oil production, improve skin hydration, subdue breakouts and can minimize signs of aging.
SUNFLOWER OIL: Also “non-comedogenic” and cold pressed, Sunflower Oil has several star components… the first being an exceptionally high amount of linoleic acid which helps keep the skin’s barrier nourished and hydrated. It’s also rich in Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, which helps protect against stressors like sun damage, pollution and even stress lines!
LAVENDER: Besides his heavenly, relaxing aroma – lavender is seriously anti-bacterial and is a known acne buster! It also unclogs pores, clarifies skin and reduces inflammation. It’s also a natural astringent, so it goes to work shrinking, tightening, and toning the skin.
FRANKINCENSE: Although it has anti-microbial properties and will fight the bacteria that causes acne… it also reduces redness, it’s an astringent so it shrinks and tightens, lifts and tons! It’s also known to improve the appearance of scars.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
-
WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE? The shelf life of my salves is 1-2 years; however you'll enjoy the most medicinal benefit within the first year.
-
HOW MUCH SALVE SHOULD I USE? In general, consider using a "small glop" the size of a pump or two of lotion and apply over the affected area 2-3x daily as needed (use less if it's a tiny area, of course)! In general, a minor topical skin issue will use much less salve than a joint or muscle issue where you are massaging the salve in. See my website or check your product label for specific application recommendations.
-
ARE SALVES SAFE FOR BABIES & SENSITIVE SKIN? Many of my close friends and family use my salves on themselves and their families regularly with great success and confidence. Just like with ANY new skin care product, there is always a potential for allergies or irritation... so test a small area first before using regularly or on a larger area. If you have KNOWN allergies, take note of the ingredient list provided on each label. And, of course, discontinue use if any kind of reaction or irritation occurs. Salves with menthol crystals, camphor, peppermint and eucalyptus are NOT intended for young children and babies.
- A NOTE ABOUT CONSISTENCY: Depending on the temperatures where you live, your salve will arrive with a general consistency between a neosporin-type oinment and a slightly firm vaseline. Softness of the salve will vary based on your particular climate and seasonal temperature. Since the salve contains beeswax, avoid leaving in a hot car or in the sun to prevent melting. Your tin will be shrink wrapped to prevent any dripping if it does happen to soften during transit. If melting does occur, simply put it in the refrigerator to return it to its normal consistency.

For external use only. Product use suggestions are informational and is not medical advice. As with any skin care product - there is always potential for allergies.
