Historical uses in traditional herbal practices:

Avocado oil: A highly moisturizing oil rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins E and B, and antioxidants that help to deeply hydrate the skin, strengthen the skin barrier, promote collagen synthesis, and protect against environmental damage.

Castor oil: An emollient oil with deep absorption properties, it promotes circulation and helps draw the benefits of the other infused herbs into the deeper tissues. It also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can aid in wound healing and help control acne.

Arnica: Folk practices often incorporated this ingredient for its ability to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation, making it ideal for treating bruises, sprains, and sore muscles and ligaments.

Calendula: In traditional herbalism, this ingredient was historically valued for its significant soothing and healing benefits for the skin, helping to reduce redness, itching, and irritation associated with conditions like eczema, dermatitis, rashes, and insect bites. It also has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.

Comfrey: Known in historical contexts as "knitbone" in traditional medicine, comfrey contains allantoin, which stimulates the growth of new skin cells, reduces inflammation, and speeds up wound and bone healing.

Yarrow: Across various cultural traditions, this has been applied to provide anti-inflammatory and antiseptic benefits, helps to minimize irritation and sensitivity, and acts as an astringent to protect the skin from irritants. It also helps with minor blemishes and wound healing.

Wild lettuce: Traditionally used topically to help kill germs and for comfort in muscles and skin after physical exertion. While research is limited, some studies show other plants in its family have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Beeswax: Forms a protective, breathable barrier on the skin that locks in moisture, keeps irritants out, and helps thicken the product into a salve or balm consistency.

Frankincense essential oil: Historically, this ingredient has been applied topically to aid in tissue repair, helps reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines, and promotes healthy skin growth and cellular renewal, also for its anti-inflammatory properties and can enhance blood circulation.

Vitamin E oil: Studies have shown its a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from damage-causing free radicals and environmental stressors. It also helps repair scarred and damaged skin, boosts circulation, and extends the shelf life of the product by acting as a natural preservative.
