A proprietary infusion of Pure Lavender into Sunflower Oil & fractionated coconut oil, Refined African Shea Butter, Raw African Shea Butter,* Beeswax & Tocopherol (vitamin E.)

*"Due to the Raw African Shea Butter, this product may get produce tiny balls or feel grainy. Simply rub the balm in your hands and this heat will make the product smooth for application. Those grains are parts or molecules of your butter that cooled off faster than the rest. They have separated and have cooled off quickly, while the rest of your product has cooled off at a different temperature. Let that sink in for a minute: those grains are parts or molecules of your butter that cooled off faster than the rest. Welcome to homemade, synthetic-free skin care. In a traditional cosmetics lab, there are numerous ingredients and products that, when added to a formula, prevent grainy from forming." - From Better Shea Butter dot com

Massage into the area needing healing. Use as often as necessary to repair, moisturize, and help heal.

All our products are organic and don't like water because we don't use harmful chemical preservatives. Simply keep the water out of the products, because water can encourage bacterial growth. It's also a good idea to keep them out of direct sunlight and hot places, like your car, for instance. Now, as for our soaps, we know you have to mix with water to use them. After using, just keep the bar out of water as much as possible to prevent a gooey mess.

Lavender Balm is great for the items listed in the description, but if you have a small open cut or scrape, might we suggest Gramma's Salve? Gramma's Salve contains pine sap, which helps close up a small cut or scrape. For deep wounds, consult your doctor, of course.

We don't use anything synthetic that can cause irritation and over time, possible damage to your lungs. So, our products are mildly scented with pure plant materials, including pure, organic & natural essential oils.

First, we have to harvest! We grow our own lavender and mint. Then, we dry it all out. Last, we mix the dried plants into oils like sunflower, olive and coconut. Using heat and time, this creates a thick, plant infusion that is then used in the products. We do the same with Roses, Shavegrass, Coffee, & Chamomile & source these from small, local businesses whenever possible.

We don't ever test on animals. Only human family members, friends, and customers. (Some customers have been using our products since the start - ten years now!)

Yup. Plants. No toxic preservatives or
"hidden" ingredients or extra fillers, such as water.

Most of our products are vegan. And, the only non-vegan ingredients are beeswax (organically sourced) and in our Gramma's Salve, we use Organic Lard, which was the traditional ingredient Christie's Great-Grandmother used.
