Mary’s Gold Salve
A golden salve of concentrated calendula, with frankincense, Roman chamomile, lavender, and geranium. For the small dry spots of daily life: cuticles, lips, rough patches, flaky skin, anywhere that needs more than ordinary moisture. Blended with pure beeswax and botanical oils.
Calendula Extract — Faradiol esters — the compounds behind calendula's long standing as the monastery garden's skin herb. Used concentrated here, for a deeper gold and a stronger dose.
Sweet Almond — Light and gentle, rich in vitamins A and E — it carries the botanicals in.
Beeswax — A breathable layer that seals in moisture without clogging pores.
Frankincense — The warm resin monastery infirmaries kept for skin. Dry, resinous, quiet.
Geranium Flower — Citronellol — rosy and balancing; it calms the look of redness.
Lavender — Linalool — it soothes the look of redness and irritation. Clean and herbal.
Roman Chamomile Flower — The apple-sweet note in the scent — the gentlest flower in the garden.

The small daily repairs — chapped lips, split cuticles, a scrape, a bug bite, a patch of raw winter skin. It's a concentrated calendula balm — the golden flower the monastery gardens kept for exactly this. Dab it on wherever skin needs more than ordinary moisture.
The tallow is your all-over daily moisturizer; the salve is targeted repair. It's calendula-forward and more concentrated, built for specific spots — lips, cuticles, scrapes, rough patches — rather than slathering everywhere. Many people keep the tallow by the bath and the salve in a pocket or by the kitchen sink.
Yes — gentle enough for infant and child skin. Customers reach for it for diaper rash, scraped knees, and dry patches on little ones. It's a light essential-oil blend — calendula, chamomile, a little frankincense and lavender — so patch test first if skin is very reactive.
Yes. Press a small amount onto dry patches, flaking skin, or chapped lips — it melts in with the warmth of your finger and absorbs readily. It's a favorite as a lip treatment that softens and comforts rather than just coating.
