Gentle Skin Botanical Salve

Gentle Skin - Botanical Salve

This salve is recommended for those with sensitive skin and can be used as an all-purpose body balm to nourish & moisturize the skin. Suitable for after-sun skincare. 

An intentionally crafted salve featuring potent herbal infused oils, heirloom Cacao butter, & local Florida beeswax. Salves are a medicinal topical preparation involving infused herbal oils and fats and/or wax. Herbal oils are made by macerating dried herbs in a carrier oil, allowing the oil to extract the medicinal properties of the plants. They have been traditionally used for skin healing in herbal medicine across the globe for centuries, for a wide variety of conditions - like minor wounds, bug bites, scars, burns, dryness, rashes, inflammation, and redness - and make a beautiful skin moisturizer. Herb-infused salves are an excellent way to obtain the healing properties of plants in a gentle manner; no essential oils are used in any herbal topicals in the shop.
