Sonoran Healing Salve (Bestseller)
Sonoran Healing Salve (Bestseller)
This salve contains several natural healing herbs of the Sonoran desert here in Southern Arizona. We've taken some of the most potent healing herbs of the southwest and through our dual extraction and infusion methods we've produced a powerful salve that can be used for major skin healing.
Cottonwood buds contain Salicin which is the ingredient used to make salicylic acid. Salicin acts on the skin by aiding in with rashes, wounds, and irritations. Cottonwood buds contain terpenes which can help with fine lines, phenolic compounds which have antioxidant properties and help with free radicals on the skin. They also have malic acid and mannitol which are both humectants and help seal moisture in skin.
The Chapparal is from the family of the creosote bush, its an amazing desert shrub that has long been used by the native Americans and desert locals for its healing properties. The smell can only be described as the desert when it rains. It contains nordihydroguaiaretic acid or NDGA Which has been shown in studies to have some amazing benefits. This herb is a wonderful herb to use for a salve due to its antimicrobial properties. This herb is so potent that it was utilized in wound healing by the Native Americans.
Yucca root is a wonderful herb to ai with oxidative stress due to its photoprotective properties. Yucca root is also utilized as a skin nourishing herb due to its naturally occurring folic acid.
We've infused these herbs into our hand rendered tallow from Arizona cows, and locally sourced jojoba oil. Everything in this salve is locally sourced. The combination of the tallow and jojoba oil make for a gentle soft moisturizing penetrating salve that will soothe very irritated skin.
This has a possibility to irritate sensitive skin types, so we recommend doing a test patch. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and reach out to us!
We dont recommend using this salve on children younger than 1 years old.
