Wild Dandelion Salve
Wild Dandelion Salve
THE SALVE that started it all! Our Dandelion Salve! These are seasonal salves and guess what, we just picked a ton of wild grown dandelions! We hope to have picked and dried enough to last all summer and maybe into fall for you guys!
Dandelion is a rich source of vitamins A, B complex, C, and D as well as minerals such as iron, potassium and zinc. Dandelions are also known for their natural skin and joint supportive properties. This salve contains Wild grown Dandelion flowers infused in a blend of specially selected oils. Although dandelion-infused oil can be used directly on skin, many people prefer it thickened into a salve that’s both portable and deeply moisturizing. Dandelion salve soothes skin irritations while nourishing dry skin, making it an all-purpose healing support product that’s perfect for daily use!
Here are some practical ways you can incorporate our Wild Dandelion salve into your daily routine:
- CALM SKIN IRRITATIONS SUCH AS DIAPER RASH, PSORIASIS, ECZEMA, GARDENING HANDS, ROUGH ELBOWS, CRACKED HEELS, CHAPPED LIPS
