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.
