Mary’s Gold Salve
Calendula, Steeped and Concentrated — The whole flower steeped into sweet almond oil, plus a concentrated extract. Faradiol, calendula's triterpenoid compound, calms the look of redness.
Sweet Almond — Rich in oleic and linoleic acid, and gentle enough for sensitive skin. The oil the calendula steeps in. Tree nut.
Beeswax — Forms a breathable seal that holds moisture in without blocking pores, and gives the salve its structure.
Geranium — Citronellol, which calms the look of redness. Soft and rosy.
Lavender — Linalool, studied for shielding skin from everyday oxidative stress. Clean and herbal.
Frankincense — The resin monastery infirmaries kept for skin. Warm and balsamic.
Roman Chamomile — The apple-sweet finish.
Rosemary Extract — Keeps the oils in the jar fresh.
Vitamin E — Antioxidant. Protects the oils from oxidation and extends the salve's shelf life.

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.
