Perpetually dry skin that even the richest of lotions can't tame? This calendula salve has been my saving grace with every season change, and especially throughout the winter. (Seriously, my legs wouldn't survive without it.)
But it's not just great for dry skin. This handcrafted salve was developed for treating cuts, scrapes, bug bites, bruises, eczema, acne, and warts. Since ancient times, calendula has been prized for its healing properties, as it naturally promotes and stimulates the body's immune system. A must-have for natural skincare.

A fairy flower in a jar
Ever since our friend brought us some homemade calendula cream, I became aware of it’s magical properties. I began to notice how quickly a patch of dry skin on my elbow went away. My torn cuticles healed quickly. That homemade salve was somewhat messy to apply.. This KV Apothecary salve does everything without the mess. The tin is the perfect size and just feels good to open and apply. The lavender scent is subtle and pleasant. You can read about the history of calendula online. It is like having a fairy flower in a jar.

This really helps keep my hands softer in the winter time, it works as well some healing ointments from the drugstore (dont want to advertise for them here so I wont name names) , but with this youre supporting two local businesses!
