Scent and touch have the power to calm our nervous system and is the reason for we choose chamomile and frankincense as the stars of our calming skincare balm.
This hand-made balm utilizes the plant power of rose, yarrow, chamomile and frankincense to give your skin a heap of restorative hydration. Extra-virgin olive oil is infused with organic rose hips and home-grown yarrow flowers, melted into African shea butter and local MN beeswax. Chamomile and Frankincense essential oils provide a mild scent that is calming and earthy.
Rose hip (extract) is abundant with vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, increasing skin elasticity and suppleness. A favorite for anti-aging and evening skin tone. An antimicrobial, medicinal plant, yarrow (extract) aids in wound-healing and the ability to reduce inflammation. Chamomile (essential oil) has mending characteristics, reducing redness and irritation in addition to reducing anxiety. Finally, frankincense (essential oil) delivers a powerful ability to reduce scars, aiding cellular renewal. Melt into a scent that's grounding, and warm.
Extra-virgin olive oil holds holistic transformational power for skin, hair and nails. Combined with ultra rich, all natural and unrefined African shea butter, hydration reaches full potential. MN local bees wax adds structure to our salve, while promoting skin health and preventing bacteria growth. Vitamin E contributes as a preservative to keep your salve fresh. Ideal usage is within 12-16 months. Unlike mass produced formulas, our salves hold maximum moisture and will slowly soak in.

Paracas refers to both an arid south coastal peninsula and the culture that thrived in the region c. 700 B.C.E. to 200 C.E.
Sprouting seeds, insects, flowers, serpents, sharks, the pampas cat, and in particular a wide variety of coastal and highland birds dominate this later phase of Paracas embroidery. (bio sourced from https://smarthistory.org/paracas-introduction/)
