Combining the anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine properties of two of the most all-round skin healing herbs, this salve will soothe the driest, itchiest skin. It can be used as a first-aid remedy to take the itch out of bites and stings, with the Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) providing a wonderful natural anti-histamine, and is also a wonderful relief for eczema.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is well known as a soothing, nourishing herb, and is packed with antioxidants. I love to work with both of these herbs because they grow so generously in my home apothecary garden, meaning I can create fresh, local, potent remedies.

I handmake these balms by infusing sunflower oil with the dried herb: it takes a big basket full of fresh herb material to make one jar of infused oil, packing the goodness into those tins for you!

The infused oils are combined in equal ratios and added to melted Beeswax, with Shea Butter, Lavender essential oil, and a few drops of Vitamin E oil added at the end to increase the salve’s shelflife. It comes in a generously sized 100ml tin, so you can really slather it on.

The Plantain is organically grown in my home garden, and the Calendula sourced from a sustainable, ethical UK organic-certified supplier. These salves are handmade, stirring in lots of healing love.

These herbs are considered safe and very widely tolerated, and suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
