1. What Is a Salve?

➙ A salve is a thick, semi-solid skincare product made from ingredients such as oils, butters, waxes, and botanical extracts. Unlike lotions, salves typically contain little or no water, giving them a rich texture that can be applied directly to areas of the skin that need additional moisture and conditioning.

2. What Are Salves Used For?

➙ Salves are commonly used as part of a moisturizing skincare routine, particularly on areas that tend to feel dry or rough, such as hands, elbows, knees, and other areas of the body. Their rich texture allows the product to sit on the skin and provide a conditioning feel. Individual salves may be formulated for different uses, so always check the product description and ingredients before applying.

3. Why Choose Handmade Salves?

➙ Handmade salves can be a simple way to incorporate carefully selected oils, butters, waxes, and botanical ingredients into your skincare routine. Swan Soap and Such salves are crafted in small batches, allowing customers to explore different formulations and choose products based on their preferred ingredients and intended use.
