This 60ml jar of Herbal Salve is specially formulated to be suitable for skin prone to Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea, or being dry, sensitive & reactive. One of our best sellers, Airmid's Herbs, is also suitable for tattoo aftercare.
We infuse our oils the old-fashioned way; we prepare our infusions on a full moon; we fill our jars with dried Plantain, Nettle and Chickweed and cover them with beautiful organic apricot oil. We allow them to infuse for at least one full moon cycle and stain the herbal oil on the next full moon.
Once strained, we add soothing, regenerative and softening oils and plant-based waxes to create Airmid's Herbs - our soothing botanical salve. Plantain, Nettle and Chickweed are known to have powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and skin regenerative properties.
Airmid is known as the Celtic Goddess of Herbalism, she is found in Irish and Scottish mythology and plays the role of healer and keeper of herbal knowledge. As this is an old family recipe created by Nana Kat, the herbalist in the family, we thought it fitting to name this jar of plant magick, Airmid's Herbs.

Product testers told us...
"I've had Excema for years and nothing has helped, but this does. It stops the itching, the redness is gone and it feels so much calmer"
"I've been using it on my new tattoo and it is healing nicely. I've had trouble with tattoos healing well in the past, but on this one, the design is really clear and I've had no itching. I definitely would recommend it and will be using it again for my next tattoo"

Reviews
Our daughter has had a terrible time this past year with breakouts on her hands, with skin cracking and bleeding, especially around finger joints….. even typing at work has been painful!! All the doctors can provide is the usual steroidal rubbish that you can only use for short periods….. the new Airmid’s soothing botanical salve had an almost instantaneous effect, as within hours her skin had softened, especially around the cracked and bleeding finger joints!! This has been an immense relief.
I've been using the salve on some dry, red patches of skin on my face. It's really light and soothing and has done an amazing job of clearing it up. It works really quickly too. I'm so pleased to have found this as I've been trying all winter to find something that works. It smells lovely and looks fab on my bathroom shelf too! Thank you!
I got this as a Christmas present and it's a life saver!
With the cold temperatures my skin gets super dry so I've been putting it on everywhere: hands, face, back, knees, elbows...
It soothes the skin immediately and I only need to apply it once after washing for my skin to stay hydrated.
And it also smells amazing!
I'm really happy with it.
I bought this for some very stubborn patches of dry, hard, skin on my feet (bleurgh!). Only been using it for a week but already it's so much better.
