Black Salve | Splinters, Bites, and More | The Maker's Item May 2025

Deep Pull. Skin Support. Herbal Tradition.

This is one of those products that feels like it came straight out of your grandma’s cabinet… because honestly, it kind of did.

Our Old School Drawing Salve is a deeply supportive, herbal-infused balm designed to help draw out impurities while calming and nourishing the skin. Whether you're dealing with splinters, bug bites, stubborn breakouts, or irritated skin—this is the jar you reach for.

🌿 What Makes It Work

We start with a rich, skin-loving base of olive oil, avocado oil, shea butter, and coconut oil, then slowly infuse it with a powerhouse blend of traditional herbs:

• Calendula – Known for soothing irritated, damaged, or inflamed skin
• Plantain Leaf – A classic “drawing” herb, used for bites, stings, and splinters
• Rosemary – Supports circulation and skin vitality
• Thyme – Naturally cleansing and purifying
• Goldenseal – Traditionally used for its powerful skin-supporting properties

We then blend in:

• Activated Charcoal – Helps pull impurities from the skin
• Bentonite Clay + Sea Clay – Known for their natural drawing and detoxifying properties
• Beeswax – Seals everything in and creates a protective barrier on the skin

✨ How to Use

Apply a generous layer to the affected area and cover with a bandage if needed. Let it sit for several hours or overnight.

Perfect for:

• Splinters
• Bug bites & stings
• Minor skin irritations
• Breakouts
• Areas that just need a little extra support

🧴 Why You’ll Love It

• Made in small batches with ingredients you can recognize

📌 The Feel & Scent
