WillaDore Calendula Salve


The WillaDore Calendula Salve is an all-purpose salve to moisturize, protect and promote healing.  This is my go-to everything salve that I carry with me daily.  With the constant hand-washing parents of young children endure, hands can become dry and cracked, especially in the winter months.  Year-round, I use the WillaDore Calendula Salve as a hand salve and lip balm to help keep dry, cracked skin at bay as well as sooth the countless scrapes my twin boys accumulate.

Made with the one of the highest absorbable natural base oil (grape seed oil) and butter (mango butter), this salve absorbs quickly.  The grape seed oil is infused, over low heat, with dried calendula flowers.  Calendula (marigold) flowers have been used for centuries to heal wounds and skin irritations.  Calendula has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, astringent and anti fungal properties.  It is useful for treating minor wounds, cuts, scrapes, chapped or chafed skin and is gentle enough for babies, children and animals.  A little goes a long way; rub a pea-sized amount on affected area and add more as needed.
