As a community herbalist, I wanted to alchemize the healing properties of herbs into healing skincare to address the needs I was seeing. The products I saw on the shelves at that time were mostly water, preservatives, and fillers with very few active ingredients.
It took two years of formulating and testing to come up with our simple, portable, herbal-infused oils. My salves have only 3 to 4 ingredients in them – organic herbs, organic oils, fresh beeswax, and essential oils in some varieties. In the extensive testing process, I found the perfect ratios for effectiveness, absorption, and luxurious skin feel.
