Our Alternatives to Steroids: Eczema and Psoriasis Salve
How Our Botanical Salve Works: The Synergy of Oils, Butters, Herbs, and Beeswax
Our skin salve is a masterful blend of nature’s most effective oils, butters, and herbs, each selected for their unique ability to nourish, protect, and restore troubled skin. The true power of this formula lies in how these ingredients work together, amplifying each other’s benefits for a soothing, healing experience.
Carrier Oils: Deep Nourishment and Protection
The foundation of our salve is a luxurious mix of carrier oils—Avocado, Pumpkin Seed, Castor, Coconut, Sweet Almond, Jojoba, Rosehip, Argan, Squalane, Hemp Seed, Grapeseed, Black Seed, Red Raspberry, Aloe Vera, and Apricot Kernel.
- Hydration & Softening: These oils are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, deeply moisturizing the skin and beard, softening coarse hair, and preventing dryness and irritation.
- Barrier Support: Oils like Jojoba and Squalane mimic the skin’s natural sebum, helping to balance oil production and reinforce the skin’s protective barrier.
- Repair & Regeneration: Rosehip, Avocado, and Pumpkin Seed oils promote cell turnover and skin regeneration, fading scars and supporting healing.
Butters: Rich Emollients for Comfort
Shea and Cocoa Butters add a creamy, soothing texture, delivering intense moisture and comfort to dry, sensitive skin.
- Soothing & Healing: Shea Butter is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, while Cocoa Butter helps lock in moisture and improve skin elasticity.

Our herbal blend features Spearmint, Rosemary, Jasmine, Marshmallow Root, Dandelion Root, Kava Kava, Nettle, Burdock Root, Ginseng Root, Rosehips, Hawthorne, Calendula, Echinacea, Ashwagandha, Lemongrass, Plantain, Black Walnut, Goldenseal, Neem, and Wormwood.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Herbs like Marshmallow Root, Calendula, and Kava Kava calm irritation, reduce redness, and soothe flare-ups from eczema and psoriasis.

Beeswax: The Protective Shield
All-natural beeswax sets the salve, creating a breathable barrier that locks in moisture and shields skin from environmental irritants—without clogging pores.

- Healing Support: Its mild antibacterial properties further support skin recovery and resilience.
Synergy in Action
By infusing these potent herbs into a base of nutrient-rich oils and butters, our salve delivers both immediate comfort and long-term healing. The carrier oils transport herbal actives deep into the skin, while butters and beeswax seal in their benefits. This synergy means:
- Relief from eczema, psoriasis, and mild bruising
- Support for healing poison ivy rashes and other irritations
- Smoother, softer skin and beard
- Reduced inflammation, redness, and discomfort
