Great to use on cuts, scraps, bug bites, rashes, skin abrasions, slivers, and more. Can be used during cold season on kids noses when they are raw. We use this as an everything salve. Safe for animals also!

Made with organic sunflower oil, organic shea butter, organic cocoa butter, local beeswax, organic chickweed, organic plantain, organic yarrow, organic calendula, and organic St. johns wort, and a proprietary blend of organic essential oils including lavender, helichrysum oil (which is good for eczema and psoriasis) and tea tree oil (which is good for treating infections).

I personally love chickweed for use on the skin. When you break it open it is very juicy and lubricates dry skin well - you can apply it directly to the skin. It has demulcent and emollient properties. It is great for skin disorders and irritation or inflammation. I like it for things like eczema, psoriasis and itchy dry skin. I like to blend it with other herbs like calendula for skin disorders because of the great benefits to the skin – and this is why I like to make an oil out of it using the fresh herb. I can mix it with other herbs and use that as the oil base for a salve. You can apply it directly to the skin for use on burns, sunburns, rashes, bites, and cuts.

Calendula is considered a vulnerary, anti-inflammatory, and astringent herb which makes it great to use for wound healing. It helps to speed up the healing process, helps with stagnation of fluid and inflammation, helps prevent infection and bacterial growth. Matthew Wood talks about how it heals from the inside out. Calendula has long been used to mend cuts, burns, bites, sprains, rashes, and sunburn. It is good for cooling and soothing the skin. It has Antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Sajah Popham talks about using calendula for lacerations and puncture wounds. It not only helps heal and prevent infections, but it starts the healing process from beneath and helps to supply the tissue with the lymphatic fluid that it needs. Other herbs that blend well with calendula for wound healing are St. johns’ wort and yarrow.

Yarrow has vulnerary properties along with being antimicrobial and antifungal which makes it good for infected wounds. I love yarrow and I personally feel that everyone should at least have dried yarrow at their disposal. It helps to stop bleeding almost instantly and I think having it on hand for emergencies is necessary

Some of St. John’s Wort’s herbal actions that make it so beneficial for external uses are its anti-inflammatory properties, it is considered a vulnerary (which means it has wound healing abilities), it has antimicrobial properties (which also makes it a good choice for wound healing), and it is an antispasmodic, antiseptic, astringent, and analgesic as well. Good for neuropathy; nerve damage and nerve pain. St. John’s Wort oil can also be used on wounds, cuts, abrasions, bruises, sprains, shingles, and cold sores. I think what I love so much about St. John’s Wort oil is that it works rather quickly as a pain reliever. I have seen some good results when using it for cold sores and on shingles for the rash and pain. You have two things working in your favor: its ability to help restore your nerves and its anti-inflammatory properties. You can use St. johns wort on your face to help with aging spots, sun damage, lines, and wrinkles. I would use it in the morning to benefit from any SPF properties that it has. I wouldn’t depend on St. John’s wort oil to provide you with all your sun protection though - one should still investigate other sunscreen alternatives or wearing a hat. I also love using St. John’s Wort oil on my lips as it just helps to heal if they are dry and split

Please Note that all salves and creams will melt on sunny days if left in direct sunlight, in a car, near a heat source, and sometimes during shipping. If this happens you can mix them up and place them in refrigerator for a little while so they will harden back up.
