Mend is an all-purpose, herbal skin salve that is made from simple plant allies that I’ve ethically and reverently foraged and harvested from the woods and fields surrounding my home in Maine. This rich compound, which is free of essential oils, is perfect for any season! It deeply hydrates, nourishes, and protects skin.
Use this versatile salve to soothe and repair areas of dry, chapped, cracked, itchy skin and as a preventative to keep skin healthy and supple. Great on heels and elbows! Use it as a lip balm, a cuticle conditioner, or to tame fly-away tresses. It makes a great after-sun balm and can take the itch out of bug bites.
This salve is made mostly from fresh plant matter (with some of the initial moisture released) and by slow infusion method, to both honor the plants and deeply extract their constituents. Ingredients include a balance of yarrow, goldenrod, plantain leaf, St. John's Wort, self-heal, dandelion blossoms, and comfrey leaf.
My nourishing oils of choice for this salve include extra virgin olive oil and safflower oil. The base is made of beeswax.
∆ It comes in a 1oz. leak-proof tin and will last you a long time.
∆ No essential oils were used in this formula.
