Herbal Salves are a splendid way to take advantage of the healing qualities of herbs and botanicals. Apply them liberally to the skin and allow them to work their magic. My Herbal Salves are made from organic material in solar infused oils and a base of natural beeswax. They do not contain artificial ingredients, synthetics, petroleum products or perfumes. The best way to heal your skin is to use pure ingredients. This salve contains St. Johns Wort flowers infused in olive oil, with natural beeswax & Vitamin E oil. Sun infused St. Johns Wort flowers make a beautiful pink colored oil. St. Johns Wort is a very popular "super salve" This salve can be applied to most skin types, including those with sensitivities. Not to be used on open wounds. I have my own organic garden and grow my own flowers, including St. Johns Wort. I've used this healing salve on myself, my family, and the sensitive skin of my grandchildren. This is a salve I always have on hand.
