Scented with a delicately sweet blend of native sage, lavender, and rosemary, all harvested from the Berbo Homestead garden. The herbs are cold-infused in organic olive oil, full moon to full moon, and blended with organic beeswax and shea butter. The resulting emollient salve is equally soothing to the skin and pleasing to the senses.

Ritually blended on the last full moon of summer in one-ounce tins. Ingredients: native sage, lavender, rosemary; organic olive oil, beeswax, and shea butter. 

Ingredient Notes:

Native Sage contains monoterpenoids and diterpenoids which may penetrate the skin to treat inflammation and pain. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties may alleviate both pain and minor skin irritations.

Lavender’s antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties are beneficial in calming skin, and inhaling the plant’s fragrance may slow our nervous system activity, leading to reduced generalized anxiety.

Rosemary contains compounds with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, which may soothe irritations and promote skin regeneration. Its fragrance is thought to be a cognitive stimulant, boosting focus and memory. 

Olive Oil’s high levels of vitamin E and squalane promote skin’s moisture retention, while antioxidants soothe redness and irritation.

Beeswax acts as a protective barrier on skin, sealing in moisture and providing anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.

Shea Butter is a nutrient dense (vitamins A, E, F) emollient, providing deep hydration and helping to restore skin elasticity.
