Soulstice Salve

Special care for the winter-worn skin and the winter-worn soul. Soulstice Salve is crafted with wild rose hips and petals, calendula flowers, Tulsi (holy basil), yarrow, crab apple blossom, and Grand fir slowly infused in organic olive oil, then blended with organic shea butter, beeswax, and essential oils of rose and blood orange. These rich, nurturing ingredients soothe dry skin while supporting the emotional heart, encouraging courage, and offering a moment of calm in uncertain times.

Keep it on your desk, kitchen counter, favorite chair, or yoga mat for self-care that’s always within reach. Perfect for gifting to friends and loved ones who feel the weight of the world—especially those in activist and organizing circles. As someone wisely said, “Uncertainty is your stage, not your cage.” Soulstice Salve helps you step onto that stage with steadied hands, a softened heart, and the support of local, loving plants.

Use: Warm a small amount between your fingers and rub it into dry skin as needed—hands, elbows, feet, or anywhere winter and worry leave a mark. Spend a little extra time cupping the salve in your palms, inhaling its fragrant, grounding aroma, or rubbing it into your neck, shoulders, or chest during yoga, meditation, prayer, or when you simply need to reclaim your calm in the midst of chaos. Let the salve support you in sitting with despair until it passes, and in remembering that even in difficult times, love, courage, and care are always close at hand.
