Herbal Salves

Your skin is your largest organ and the first barrier of protection between you and the world. Look at the ingredient lists on your skincare products. Do you recognize all of the names? Are they mainly natural compounds or synthetic chemicals? Using natural products can reduce the number of chemicals you absorb through your skin. When you apply salves made from herb-infused oils, you will instead be absorbing beneficial natural compounds that can support a number of bodily systems.

My salves are made from herb-infused oils and thickened with beeswax. Since they do not contain water, salves are denser than creams, and thus require smaller applications. To keep salves free of mold and other bacteria, my products contain natural preservatives such as rosemary seed extract; they must be used within a year and stored in cool, dry conditions.

If you have allergies or sensitivities to an herb or oil, order a customized creation that will work optimally for you.
