Gardener's Hand Salve

Product Details

I've been making this wonderful salve for a couple of years now to moisturize my hands when they get chapped and dried from working in the soil, in addition to the seasonal drying that seems to happen every year when Fall gives way to Winter and my knuckles inevitably begin to crack. After trying over the counter products too numerous to count I gave up and decided to try to make my own. Much to my surprise, this lovely salve works where so many others have failed me.

This salve is a blend of olive oil infused with Yarrow, Willamette Valley Gumweed, and English Lavender with shea butter and beeswax. It has a lovely Lavender & honey aroma.

The consistency is a little harder than many salves on the market - closer to a soft wax. Scrap it with your nail and smooth it over patches of dry skin and Winter skin splits. The harder consistency will help the salve stay where you want it to - reducing the likelihood of it running off or smearing on clothing. If you need it to be firmer it can be cooled in the fridge.

One heads up when using:
Yarrow is known to be toxic to cats and dogs. Don't let your furry friend lick this salve and refrain from petting while the salve is fresh on your skin. I use this salve as part of my bedtime routine (when the cats are curled at the end of the bed) and let sleep help aid the salve's soothing moisture mojo!
