Skin Shield-Barrier Balm

Comfrey • Plantain • Calendula • Chamomile

Skin Barrier Balm  is a rich, protective botanical salve handcrafted with four traditional skin-care herbs — comfrey, plantain, calendula and chamomile — slowly infused in olive oil.

Created for dry, rough, irritated-feeling and weather-stressed skin, this concentrated, water-free salve combines herbal-infused olive oil with shea butter, beeswax and candelilla wax to soften and condition the skin while creating a protective barrier that helps seal in moisture.

The Botanicals

Plantain (Plantago major)
Plantain has a long history as a traditional first-aid and skin herb. Often referred to by herbalists as a “drawing herb,” plantain has traditionally been prepared as poultices, infused oils and salves for bites, stings, splinters and itchy or irritated skin. It has also traditionally been included in preparations for very dry, inflamed and eczema- or psoriasis-prone skin.

Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)
Comfrey is a classic traditional skin herb, historically known as “knitbone.” It has a long history of external use in herbal preparations for rough, stressed and damaged skin. Comfrey naturally contains allantoin, a skin-conditioning constituent, making it a valued botanical for very dry, cracked-feeling and hardworking skin.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis)
Calendula is one of the best-loved herbs in traditional skin care. Its golden flowers have traditionally been infused into oils and salves for dry, delicate, irritated and inflamed skin. Gentle and soothing, calendula is especially valued for skin that needs comforting and conditioning care.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)
Chamomile has traditionally been used topically for sensitive, itchy and irritated skin. Known for its gentle, calming nature, it complements the other botanicals beautifully and makes this salve particularly suited to skin that feels dry, uncomfortable or easily aggravated.

Botanical Infused in Olive Oil

Rather than simply adding botanical extracts to the finished salve, comfrey, plantain, calendula and chamomile are slowly infused in olive oil, creating the herbal foundation of Skin Barrier Salve.

Olive oil and shea butter help soften and condition dry skin, while beeswax and candelilla wax form a protective layer that helps reduce moisture loss and shield skin from drying environmental conditions.

No Added Water • No Synthetic Fragrance

How to Use

Warm a small amount between your fingertips and gently massage into clean, dry skin as needed.

Especially suited to very dry hands, knuckles, elbows, knees, heels, rough patches and dry, itchy or irritated-feeling skin.

For particularly dry hands or feet, apply a richer layer before bed for additional overnight protection.

A little goes a long way.
