Cool Down Salve: A Soothing Embrace from Nature

Description

Plantain, infused in oil, finished with eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils and set with beeswax. To learn what this pairing offers, read on: plantain is a traditional first-aid herb for the skin — used for centuries to draw out irritation from bites, stings, and minor scrapes. Eucalyptus and peppermint work a second angle entirely: a genuine cooling sensation on contact, which is why this one earns its name. Two mechanisms — plantain calming the skin, the essential oils cooling it — one relief. A caution: peppermint and eucalyptus oils are not for use near the eyes, on infants, or on broken skin, and can be too intense for very sensitive skin — patch test first.
