Key Botanicals
- Tea Tree Essential Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) — steam-distilled from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to the coastal regions of New South Wales, Australia. Tea tree oil is one of the most extensively studied essential oils in the world, with a well-documented phytochemical profile dominated by terpinen-4-ol (typically 30–48% of the oil) — the primary active constituent — along with gamma-terpinene, alpha-terpinene, 1,8-cineole, alpha-terpineol, alpha-pinene, and p-cymene. Used by the Bundjalung people of eastern Australia for centuries before European contact; introduced to Western botanical practice in the 1920s.
- Lavender Essential Oil (Lavandula angustifolia) — steam-distilled from the flowering tops of true lavender, native to the western Mediterranean. The world’s most widely used essential oil, with a phytochemical profile rich in linalool (typically 25–38%) and linalyl acetate (typically 25–45%) — the two compounds responsible for lavender’s characteristic floral, herbaceous aroma — along with ocimene, terpinen-4-ol, beta-ocimene, 1,8-cineole, camphor, and beta-caryophyllene. Contributes a soft, calming, floral fragrance to the salve.
- Chickweed (Stellaria media) — a delicate, low-growing annual of the family Caryophyllaceae, one of the most common garden weeds in the temperate world; contains saponins, coumarins, flavonoids (rutin, vitexin), mucilage, vitamin C, and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA); a traditional topical botanical in European herbal practice
- 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
- Organic Olive Oil (Olea europaea) — rich in oleic acid, squalene, and polyphenols
- Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis) — a light, skin-compatible carrier oil rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, and vitamin E
