Infused with medicine and scents from the mountains and the lowlands, captured in a nourishing salve to soothe your skin and spirit.

High Country Salve is heady with the scent of piñon resin and needles and big basin sagebrush, while Low Country Salve is imbued with mugwort, black and purple sage, and yerba santa.

Harvested by hand and with great care, these plants were immersed in soothing avocado oil for one month (from new moon to new moon), capturing their generous scent and potent medicine to share with you in hand-poured 1 oz. tins.

Both salves contain just three ingredients: plant-infused avocado oil, local Ojai beeswax, and organic shea butter.

Ingredient Notes:
(Skin sensitivities vary, and while the ingredients below are common and time-tested, please take care to avoid anything which you may be allergic or sensitive to. If you’re uncertain, first test a small amount before using more generously. While these salves are made with the utmost care and integrity, we are not responsible for any resulting allergic reaction or skin irritation.)

• Piñon resin has been used for millennia to heal wounds, cuts, and burns. It has potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and acts as a protective barrier, sealing moisture into parched skin.

• Sagebrush has antiseptic properties and has historically been used to cleanse and soothe rashes, wounds, and insect bites.

• Mugwort is noted for reducing inflammation—in addition to its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties—and has been used to treat poison oak rash and other skin irritations. Its anti-inflammatory action may also soothe pain from bruising or sore muscles.

• Black Sage contains monoterpenoids and diterpenoids which may penetrate the skin to treat inflammation and pain. Purple Sage has analgesic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties known to alleviate pain and skin irritations.

• Yerba Santa has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties which soothe inflamed skin and support skin regeneration.

• Avocado Oil is nutrient dense (with vitamins A, D, E) and highly moisturizing due to its rich oleic acid content, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin. It protects the skin barrier, promotes collagen production, and may soothe eczema and other skin inflammation or 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.
