Salve Skin Healing – Natural Skin Repair & Hydration

A salve is a soothing, semi-solid ointment typically made with natural oils and waxes, designed to protect, moisturise, and aid in the healing of the skin. Unlike lotions or creams, salves are rich and concentrated, offering a longer-lasting barrier to lock in moisture and promote repair.

Skin healing is vital for everyone, whether you’re dealing with dry patches, cracked heels, eczema, minor cuts, or irritated skin. Each skin type—be it dry, sensitive, or combination—can benefit from targeted, gentle support to restore balance and resilience.

Our healing salve is crafted as a natural remedy, blending time-tested botanical ingredients to nourish, calm, and protect the skin. Whether you’re looking to soothe inflammation, repair damage, or simply keep your skin feeling soft and healthy, this all-purpose salve is a reliable addition to your daily skincare ritual.

What Is a Healing Salve?

A healing salve is a rich, oil-based preparation formulated to soothe and repair damaged or irritated skin. Its thick, balm-like texture allows it to sit on the skin’s surface, creating a protective layer that locks in moisture and supports the body’s natural healing process.

Common uses include:

• Minor cuts and scrapes
• Dry, cracked skin (such as elbows, heels, and knuckles)
• Eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions
• Rashes and chafing
• Mild burns and sunburn
• Nappy rash and windburn

How does it differ from creams, ointments, or balms?

• Salves contain no water and are typically made with oils, butters, and beeswax. They’re thicker than creams and ideal for creating a lasting barrier on the skin.
• Creams are lighter, water-based, and absorb more quickly, but don’t offer as much protection for damaged or dry areas.
• Ointments are similar to salves but are often petroleum-based and may lack the natural botanical ingredients found in traditional salves.
• Balms are quite close to salves, though often used for specific purposes like lip or muscle care, and may contain more essential oils or herbal extracts.

Key Ingredients & Their Benefits

Our healing salve is thoughtfully crafted using a potent blend of natural butters, oils, and botanical extracts—each selected for its ability to nourish, soothe, and protect sensitive or damaged skin.

How to Use a Healing Salve

To get the most benefit from your healing salve, it’s important to apply it correctly and consistently. Here’s how to use it effectively for best results:

Step 1: Start with clean, dry skin
Gently cleanse the area where you’ll apply the salve. This removes dirt, sweat, and bacteria so the product can work more effectively.

Step 2: Scoop a small amount
A little goes a long way. Using clean fingertips or a spatula, take a pea-sized amount and warm it between your fingers.

Step 3: Massage in gently
Apply to the affected area and massage in circular motions until it’s evenly spread. Allow the salve to absorb naturally—no need to rub it all the way in.

Step 4: Reapply as needed
For ongoing concerns like eczema, dryness, or inflammation, reapply 2–3 times a day or as needed. For minor cuts or bites, once or twice daily is usually enough.

Tip: Use overnight for deep healing
Apply a thicker layer before bed and cover with a light cotton cloth if desired—this helps the ingredients penetrate overnight for extra soothing.

Precautions:

• Always perform a patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
• Avoid applying to open wounds or broken skin unless advised.
• For external use only.

With regular use, you’ll notice your skin feeling calmer, softer, and visibly healthier.
