Grateful Hands Salve: Nourishment from the Homestead
Life on the farm is full of hard work, and our hands take the brunt of it. Whether it's tending to the garden or chopping firewood, rough and dry skin is just part of the deal. That’s why we crafted our Grateful Hands Salve—a nourishing, herb-infused remedy made with care right here in the Ozarks.
Why We Love This Salve
Deeply Moisturizing: Made with shea butter, beeswax, and grape seed oil to hydrate and soften dry, cracked skin.
Herb-Infused Goodness: Crafted with Calendula, Yarrow, Chamomile, and Oxeye Daisy, each offering its own soothing and healing properties.
Multi-Purpose Relief: While perfect for hardworking hands, this salve is just as effective on feet, elbows, and knees—wherever skin needs a little extra love.
