Ingredients: organic sweet almond (Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis) and/or grapeseed oil (Vitis vinifera), organic coconut oil (cocos nucifera), organic beeswax (cera flava from the honeybee apis mellifera), non-gmo vitamin e (tocopherol from vegetable fats), organic essential oils of bergamot, geranium, sandalwood, tea tree and lavender.
What it does not contain: Anything artificial, ever.
Directions for use: to soften & soothe minor cuts and abrasions inflicted by thorns, twigs, brambles and tools, gently massage salve into skin as often as needed until area is healed. Also great as a tattoo aftercare ointment!
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE SUMMER: During warmer months, your Rachel’s Gardeners Salve may melt and separate a little. This is totally okay, and the salve is still in perfect working shape, it’s just that the coconut oil and touch of beeswax that gives it it’s consistency do sometimes give in to heat. In addition, it is highly likely that, after sitting in a hot delivery truck all day, it will reach you in this melty state. If you want to reset and firm it, just give it a good stir and leave it (closed tightly) in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. That should bring it back to its solid state.
Available in 2oz metal tins with screw-top lids.
Anticipated shelf life: up to 1 year from date of purchase. For best results, store in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight.

This stuff is AMAZING! Luckily a good friend of mine owns this wonderful company, so when I was in a horrible bicycle accident, she sent me this for my road rash. Compared to using neosporin (which is what I was using prior to receiving this), it was 100 times faster and better on this healing process. It also smells incredible!!!! Now I use it around my eyes to remove makeup and moisturize! :):):)

This is my favorite product. I garden a lot, and I was always getting little cuts and rough spots on my hands and arms. And when I opened it, I loved the smell, but I wasn’t sure about how much it would heal. But after using it for 2 days, this one cut that kept getting opened over and over actually started to close up! It also seems like it protects it, which is probably the beeswax, because I’ve read it is good for that. Long story short, I found myself using it every day, and now the skin on my hands is softer, smoother, and things heal a lot quicker. I think the backs of my hands look younger, too. But really, it smells sooooo good.
