A rich, nourishing salve handcrafted with grass-fed tallow, shea butter, calendula-infused grapeseed oil, milk thistle oil, oat oil, beeswax, and vitamin E.
This thoughtfully formulated salve was created for skin that needs extra nourishment and comfort. Its soft, scoopable texture melts with the warmth of your skin and glides on easily, leaving skin feeling soft, conditioned, and protected without an overly heavy finish.
Calendula-Infused Grapeseed Oil
Calendula has been treasured in herbal skincare for generations for its gentle, soothing qualities. I slowly infuse calendula flowers into grapeseed oil, allowing the oil to take on the botanical goodness of the flowers before incorporating it into the salve. Calendula is especially loved for helping dry, delicate-feeling skin feel calm, soft, and comforted.
Milk Thistle Seed Oil
Milk thistle is a beautiful botanical oil rich in essential fatty acids and naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. One of its most notable compounds is silymarin, a group of antioxidant flavonolignans naturally found in the milk thistle plant. Silymarin is valued for its antioxidant properties, while the oil itself helps nourish and condition the skin and contributes to a soft, supple feel.
Oat Oil
Oat oil is one of the standout ingredients in this formula. Naturally rich in fatty acids and skin-loving lipids, oat oil helps nourish and condition dry-feeling skin while supporting a soft, smooth texture. Oat-derived ingredients have long been appreciated in skincare for their comforting qualities, making oat oil a beautiful choice for delicate, dry, and easily irritated-feeling skin.
Together, these botanical oils complement the richness of grass-fed tallow and shea butter, creating a salve that feels deeply nourishing while still melting beautifully into the skin.
Lavender, Rosemary & Clary Sage
A lightly herbal essential-oil blend of lavender, rosemary, and clary sage gives this salve a fresh, earthy botanical aroma while adding their own skin-loving qualities. Lavender is cherished for its gentle, calming and soothing properties, rosemary is valued for its antioxidant qualities and invigorating botanical character, and clary sage is known for its balancing and comforting qualities in skincare. Together, they create a beautifully aromatic blend that complements the nourishing oils and butters in the salve.

Or
Unscented
No essential oils and no added fragrance. This simple version is especially suited for delicate, sensitive, and itch-prone skin and is gentle enough for children. It's also a wonderful choice for anyone who prefers their skincare completely unscented. It lets the nourishing oils, tallow, and botanical ingredients speak for themselves.
Ingredients: Shea Butter, Tallow, Calendula-infused Grapeseed Oil, Oat Oil, Milk Thistle Seed Oil, Beeswax, Vitamin E
Scoop a small amount with clean, dry fingers and massage into the skin. A little goes a long way. Especially lovely for hands, feet, elbows, knees, and other dry or cracked areas that need extra nourishment and care. Reapply as needed.
Remember, this is a salve—not a lotion. Because of its rich, oil-and-butter-based formula, it will absorb more slowly than a traditional lotion and may leave a light, nourishing sheen on the skin. That's part of what makes a salve special—it is designed to linger on the applied area, providing a lasting layer of nourishment and moisture rather than disappearing immediately.

A Note About Temperature: Because this is a naturally formulated salve made with tallow, shea butter, and beeswax, cooler temperatures may cause the salve to firm up slightly during shipping. Simply allow it to come to room temperature and it will soften back to its intended scoopable texture.
