The Wisdom Behind the Ingredients
The ingredients in this salve reflect traditional combinations where plants' properties complement each other. Calendula's cheerful flowers have long been paired with rosehip's bright berries in herbal skincare, while sea buckthorn and borage add their rich histories to the blend.
Calendula — A staple in cottage gardens worldwide, these flowers were traditionally infused in oils and salves. Their use appears in herbals from medieval Europe to Ayurvedic traditions.
Rosehip — Historically gathered after the first frost, these vitamin-rich berries were used by coastal First Nations and European herbalists alike.
Sea Buckthorn — This hardy shrub's bright berries have been used from Tibetan plateaus to Scandinavian fjords, often prepared as nourishing oils.
Borage — With its starry blue flowers, this plant appears in centuries-old European herbals, often mentioned for its soothing properties.
Annatto — The vibrant seeds have been used both as colouring and in traditional preparations from South American to Caribbean traditions.
