St. John’s Arnica Salve
 

This luxurious, restorative salve is designed for areas prone to everyday bumps, scrapes, and minor abrasions. Gentle enough for children and adults, it leaves the surface feeling nourished, conditioned, and renewed. Each ingredient is carefully chosen for its supportive, appearance-enhancing, and sensory benefits.

 

Base Oils & Waxes – Deep Moisture & Protective Support

  • Tamanu Oil – Richly emollient, helps areas exposed to minor knocks feel supple and refreshed.

  • Castor Oil – Smoothes and moisturizes, enhancing the look and feel of fatigued or stressed areas.

  • Local Raw Beeswax – Forms a breathable barrier that locks in hydration while providing gentle protection.

  • Arrowroot Powder – Adds a soft, non-greasy texture for a smooth, velvety finish.

  • Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) – Contributes antioxidant support, promoting the appearance of vitality.

 

Infused Botanical Oils – Conditioning & Renewal

  • Arnica-Infused Apricot Oil – Traditionally valued for helping areas affected by bumps or minor bruising appear renewed.

  • St. John’s Wort-Infused Apricot Oil – Supports the look of comfort and nourishment in delicate or stressed areas.

  • Yarrow-Infused Grapeseed Oil – Enhances smoothness and the appearance of resilience.

  • Calendula, Comfrey, Plantain, Chamomile, Lavender Bud-Infused Oils – Botanicals chosen for their conditioning and soothing properties, ideal for rough patches, minor abrasions, or areas in need of extra care.

 

Essential Oils – Gentle Aromatic Support

  • Carrot Seed, Lavender Population, Roman Chamomile, Helichrysum – Selected for their calming scent and complementary skin-conditioning qualities.

 

Why This Salve Works So Well

Every ingredient is deliberately selected for its complementary role in enhancing the look and feel of areas that experience everyday stress:

  • Moisturizing & Softening: Tamanu, castor, and infused oils leave areas feeling nourished and smooth.

  • Appearance Renewal: Arnica, yarrow, and St. John’s Wort subtly support the look of minor bumps or abrasions.

  • Protective Support: Beeswax and arrowroot help maintain a conditioned, comfortable surface.

  • Antioxidant & Vitality Support: Vitamin E and select oils contribute to the appearance of healthy-looking texture.

 

The result is a rich, long-lasting salve that leaves areas prone to bumps, scrapes, and rough patches feeling nurtured, protected, and renewed.
