Key Botanicals

• Prunella vulgaris (Heal All / Self-Heal) — a small, creeping perennial of the mint family (Lamiaceae) found growing wild in lawns, meadows, and roadsides throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. One of the most widespread wild plants in the temperate world, Prunella vulgaris has been used in topical preparations in European, Chinese, and Indigenous North American botanical traditions for centuries. Contains rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, rutin, hyperoside, caffeic acid, tannins, and polysaccharides.
• Calendula (Calendula officinalis) — the bright orange flowers of pot marigold, one of the most widely used topical botanicals in European herbal tradition; rich in flavonoids (quercetin, isorhamnetin, narcissin), triterpenoids (oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, calendulosides), carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene — responsible for the characteristic golden-orange color), and polysaccharides
• Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) — a lemon-scented member of the mint family native to the Mediterranean, rich in rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, luteolin, apigenin, ursolic acid, and volatile oils (citral, citronellal, linalool); contributes a gentle, fresh, lemony note to the salve’s aroma
• Oregon Grape Root (Mahonia aquifolium) — a Pacific Northwest native rich in berberine — the golden alkaloid also found in goldenseal and barberry — with a long history of topical use in Indigenous Pacific Northwest botanical tradition
• Plantain Leaf (Plantago major) — a classic topical botanical containing aucubin, allantoin, mucilage, and tannins; allantoin is well known for its soothing quality on the skin
• Bergamot Essential Oil (Citrus bergamia) — cold-pressed from the rind of the bergamot orange, grown primarily in Calabria, Italy; contributes a fresh, floral, citrus-forward aroma — the same oil that gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive scent
• Palmarosa Essential Oil (Cymbopogon martinii) — a tropical grass of the family Poaceae related to lemongrass and citronella, native to India; rich in geraniol (typically 75–95%) — contributing a soft, floral, rose-like aroma that beautifully complements the bergamot
• Rice Bran Oil (Oryza sativa) — a light, nourishing carrier oil rich in gamma-oryzanol, tocopherols (vitamin E), squalene, and phytosterols
