๐ŸŒฟ Sometimes the best products arenโ€™t planned.

They begin with a real person, facing a real struggle.

Many of you already know and love our Skin Calm Balm.

For years it has been one of our most requested products, supporting people with dry, irritated skin, eczema, dermatitis and even the delicate skin of little ones.

At the heart of Skin Calm are three herbs I trust time and time again:

๐ŸŒผ Calendula
๐ŸŒฟ Yarrow
๐ŸŒฟ Comfrey

At the end of April, Nikki came to me through mutual friends.

She had been struggling with severely inflamed Psoriasis, damaged skin across much of her body. At times her skin would crack, bleed and weep. She had tried numerous treatments and medications over the years, some of which affected her badly.

Looking at Nikkiโ€™s skin, I wanted to make something even simpler than Skin Calm.

So I stripped the formula right back.

No essential oils.
No beeswax.
Nothing just three herbs

Just, Yarrow, Calendula and Comfrey slowly infused into olive oil.

Five weeks later Nikki sent me new photos.

I was speechless.

Her mum burst into tears when she saw the improvement.
Even Nikkiโ€™s doctor was amazed by the changes.
And Nikki herself said:

โ€œI feel like shouting it from the rooftops.โ€

What started as a personalised formula made for one woman has now become our newest product.

๐Ÿ’š Skin Rescue Oil

Created for skin that is extremely sore, damaged, reactive or sensitive.

Sometimes plants really are clever.
We just put them together.
