Soothing Salve

It's fair to say that my job is tough on my hands. I spend lots of time with my hands in water or handling damp yarn, and unless I'm careful my hands suffer.

I'm a huge fan of this hand salve because it soaks in fast leaving my hands clean to get on with whatever I want to do next. The texture is perfect for me - solid in the tin, but melting on contact with your skin (cocoa butter is brilliant).

Then there's the smell. I put salve on my hands several times a day and I don't want something with a strong smell. You can smell the lavender and tea tree in this but it's subtle. So you can moisturise your hands then have a mug of tea without feeling you are drinking some weird floral concoction.

We're adding this salve to our product range because we love it. Simple as that. We'll be donating 50% of the proceeds from each tub sold to The Trussell Trust (they're behind most of the UK foodbanks)

Each tin is 80mm by 30mm and holds 80 grams of salve. That's months worth of mositurising for your hands.

This salve is made by hand in the UK  by a  team who only make vegan friendly products. Salves are supplies in aliminium tins so are 100% plastic free. There's no palm oil either.
