This salve is infused with dried yarrow leaves and flowers and dried plantain leaves, both wild-foraged here at Solace Farm Homestead.  Both herbs are said to contain general healing properties - this is my go-to salve for little scratches and scrapes, bug bites and bruises, and the like.  I infused this salve in it's entirety, not just one oil ingredient, for several weeks - the salve itself is naturally tinted light green from the herbs, a really lovely color!  I scent this with essential oils of Lemon, Lavender, and Frankincense - all said to contribute to skin repair and help healing - or you can choose the natural scent of the yarrow with no additional essential oils.  PLEASE NOTE!  Yarrow is fairly pungent, depending on your particular nose it can be fairly acrid/bitter, so if you need an actually odor-free salve, rather than "no added scents", this is probably not ideal for you!  If you feel that the stronger the natural scent, the better it works, this is what you're looking for!

Entire ingredients are:

Grass-fed grass-finished hand-rendered sheep tallow, either ours or a neighbor farm, SummerFields in Monteagle TN.

Olive & almond oils

Beeswax

This is amazing stuff - less waxy-feeling than my regular beeswax-based Body Balm or Tallow Balm (which I still love, don't get me wrong!) - this soaks right in and really moisturizes.  I actually prefer to use both this Salve and my Tallow Balm together for very dry skin - the Salve to quench the dryness, and the beeswax-based Balm afterwards to seal in the soothing moisture. This salve is gentle enough to use anywhere, in fact I use this as my facial moisturizer.  If you would like to see some wonderful photo testimonials, stop by Flying Cow Tallow's website, they have amazing results from their happy customers - it's impressive how effective such a simple product can be.

Grass-fed Tallow is really great for skin, and is local, sustainable, and much more eco-friendly and ethical than many oils that contribute to deforestation, labor exploitation, etc.   I love that most of my ingredients for this product come from within a few miles of us, if not our own farm, rather than the other side of the world.  We render all the tallow ourselves here on the farm - we try to respect the sacrifice our amazing sheep have made to feed and aid us, and use all that we can from the animals (check out our hand-tanned sheepskins as well!). 

This handmade salve is available in 3 sizes of metal tin, each labeled front and back with my signature brown paper labels:
