How Is It Made?
Airmid’s Herbs is created using traditional full-moon herbal infusions, honouring old-world practices and slow, intentional skincare craft. Dried Plantain, Nettle, and Chickweed are immersed in organic Apricot Oil on the night of a full moon, then infused for one complete lunar cycle. The oil is strained on the following full moon, blended with soothing, regenerative plant oils, extracts and waxes, and gently transformed into a rich, botanical salve. Each jar celebrates the powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-restorative nature of these heritage herbs.

What’s in a Name?
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 salve is handmade from an old family recipe created by Nana Kat, the herbalist in the family, “Airmid’s Herbs” felt like the perfect name to honour both the lineage of traditional plantcraft and the gentle potency inside every jar.
All of our Skincare products have undergone all required cosmetic safety assessments (CPSR) and are registered with the UK Government Cosmetics Notification Service.
Airmid’s Herbs - Soothing Botanical Herbal Salve for Dry, Distressed Skin
It began around a kitchen table, where a family of artists, plant lovers and a medical herbalist shared a cuppa tea and a simple question: could skincare return to nature?
When our teen daughters first wandered into the world of expensive skincare bottles and glossy promises, we looked closer at the ingredients and felt a quiet shock. So much of it felt distant from the earth. With the wisdom of Nana Kat, our herbalist grandmother, and the memory of growing up close to the land, we chose a different path — one rooted in folk herbalism, love of the land and old knowledge.
Today, we craft natural, ethical and mindful skincare by hand in small batches, inspired by folklore and the healing language of plants.
Each bottle is made with gratitude, as we channel the plant lovers who came before us, the herbalist Nicholas Culpeper, the Celtic mythological healer, Airmid, and yes, perhaps a hint of Luna Lovegood.

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 have a hip to hip scar from cancer surgery (where i use this balm) and as part of my ongoing care I need an injection to my stomach every 3 months. When I went for my routine appointment this time, my nurse couldn’t believe the change in my scar, and she is now going to recommend this to her other patients who have had the same surgery. THANK YOU for making me feel confident in my skin again xx
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!
This wonderful salve came quickly and in the most beautiful packaging and with a lovely note. I have psoriasis and it is very itchy, this beautiful salve soothed it instantly. This along with some special internal probiotics are clearing it up, within a week to 10 days it is so much better and only itches occasionally and when it does or feels dry then I apply the salve. I am so happy I found Nana Kat's Apothecary and will buy again. I love the website too.
I received this as a gift from my mother, she bought this balm at a market. What a difference it has made. In a few days, my psoriasis is so much better - less red, dry, itchy and angry looking. I've tried lots of different creams in the past, but nothing like this. ❤️
