This light yet potent formula has been a formidable, versatile ally for my sensitive skin. From age-related hormonal changes (and the dry skin patches that accompany them) to the occasional flare-up of granuloma annulare (a skin rash of unknown cause on the hands) to the chapped heels that I experience, Savior Salve has helped to soothe and nourish my dry and/or inflamed skin like no other salve. I can feel the freshness and quality of the ingredients with every application. I love the subtle, sweet and earthy scent as well. Giving thanks for Savior Salve and Indigo Elixirs!
This is my new go to for any skin irration I get. I have sensitive skin and normal topicals irratate my skin more than they help. The soothing relief of the all the herbs combined not only dont make me flare up, but it actually brings life back to skin. I love all my products I have received. My packages arrive very quickly also. Best stuff there is!
After putting this on my face every night after a shower, my skin feels softer in the morning! The whipped light fluffiness of this makes it feel even better to apply! Not like a glob of thickness that instantly stops my skin from breathing. It’s name is a perfect description! 💗
This really works. I have a hard time remembering my dreams when I wake as it is, but since using this, I'll actually remember larger chunks with some parts feeling so vivid. So subtle, yet it will surprise you! Not even finished my first tin and already bought another so once it runs out I have another ready to go!
I don't need to use this salve very often, but whenever I have a scrape, bug bite, or other skin irritant, it reduces the pain greatly. I've had mine for a looong time, stored in a cool, dark place, and it appears as fresh as the day I bought it.
Love this little wonder of a soothing cooling herbal mix to calm and relax me. If I start getting a headache a little rub on my temples and neck give me instant relief.

Why I Still Love [Most] Seed Oils
The messaging around seed oils has gotten really loud lately ~ specifically, the fact that are all bad for your health and should be avoided entirely. As an herbalist with 15+ years in the wellness space, I've seen a lot of natural ingredients demonized (and others overhyped) without proper context or nuance.
Humans have been consuming oily seeds & seed oils for thousands of years, and many of them are rich in nutrients that our body needs for proper function. However, pressed & unrefined seed oils are not the same as modern industrially produced & refined seed oils. How a seed was grown, what method was used for extraction, whether it is processed, and in what context it's used make a world of difference.
