MARIGOLD Hand Salve
MARIGOLD Hand Salve
Marigold Salve is based in Bend, Oregon and was founded by a registered nurse who has struggled with dry, cracked hands for years. The nurse who used to hide her cracked, bleeding hands under gloves. My name is Laurel and I have worked in the hospital setting since 2008. I love my job, but the harsh soaps and sanitizers have taken a toll on my skin. I tried numerous hand products but never found one that really worked for me. Several years ago I began researching oils with healing properties and my experiment began. After countless combinations, I found a recipe of natural ingredients that I absolutely love. My hands are now healthier than they have ever been.
This is an unscented product aka, no scent or essential oils have been added.

how it works
Skin Salve works by harnessing the nourishing properties of organic oils and natural essential oils to deeply moisturize and soothe dry, damaged skin. The blend of olive, safflower, calendula, and prickly pear seed oils provides hydration and promotes healing, while beeswax creates a protective barrier to lock in moisture. The added essential oils in the scented versions provide calming and therapeutic benefits, making it perfect for targeted application on areas needing extra care.

what it does
Marigold uses unrefined, organic ingredients and origin sourced essential oils. Keep reading to discover why we chose each of these ingredients for our magical formula.
- Organic Olive Oil: Is high in Vitamins A, D, E, and K and helps lock in moisture. It is an antioxidant, which means it helps protect skin cells from environmental damage that results in pre-mature aging. In addition, it has bacteria and inflammation fighting properties.
- Organic Safflower Oil: Is a medium weight oil full of nutrients and healthy fats. It is very high in Linoleic acid, an Omega-6 fatty acid found naturally in the skin. It helps make the skin's barrier stronger so it can effectively keep water in and irritants out. This amazing oil absorbs quickly, locks in moisture, prevents inflammation, lightens age spots, and aids in wound healing.
- Organic Calendula Oil: We aren't supposed to have favorites, but this is my favorite oil in the bunch. It is a powerhouse oil derived from Marigold's (hence the salve's name) and is extremely nourishing and gentle. Its calming and soothing properties are great for eczema. It is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, B-complex vitamins, and Vitamins E and K. My favorite thing about this oil is it has anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties which assist in wound healing....Ok, I'll quit bragging on Marigolds now.
- Organic Prickly Pear Seed Oil: This oil is derived from the prickly pear cactus and is high in amino acids, vitamin E, and linoleic acid. It is ultra-moisturizing, calms redness, stimulates cell renewal, and improves the skin's overall appearance.
- Organic Beeswax: Beeswax is a humectant. This means it attracts water. It is also occlusive, meaning it helps form a protective layer on the skin and seals in moisture.
