Slow Down This Summer: An Herbal Evening Ritual

Summer is made for being outdoors: gardens, woodland trails, long golden evenings. But all that sun, wind, and soil can leave your skin ready for a little TLC by the end of the day.

My favorite way to wind down is with an herbal salve, massaging something rich in botanical oils and nourishing ingredients into my tired hands and skin while the day quietly fades. Simple, intentional, and completely handcrafted.

This season I've been reaching for two favorites from my shop. Honeyed Veil Salve, made with propolis and Manuka honey, is deeply nourishing and protective. Perfect for hardworking summer skin. And Nettle & Lavender Salve, crafted with calendula, plantain, purple dead nettle, and lavender, is a soothing botanical blend that's especially lovely as part of an evening wind-down.

Handmade with care, the way it should be.
