If you’re curious about using grassfed tallow as a moisturizer, but are not sure about jumping in with my 90% tallow salve, this one is for you. It is 50% grassfed tallow hand-rendered from our Scottish Highland cattle, as well as my regular balm ingredients - olive and almond oils, shea and cocoa butters, and some beeswax to make it really last on your skin, even through moderate washing. I really love this balm for hands, feet, and baby bottoms, or anywhere else you want serious moisturizing - a little bit goes a long way, and it really lasts. The Peppermint $ Tea Tree in particular is great for healing, everything from diaper rash to mild skin irritations to eczema, according to some of my customers. Rather than listing a separate item for every available fragrance or essential oil blend, just choose from this list of currently available fragrances (EO denotes natural essential oils, otherwise it is a fragrance oil): Cedar & Sage EO Espresso Lavender-Vanilla EO Peppermint & Tea Tree EO Ginger, Lime & Lavender EO Tobacco & Bay Leaf Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Spiced Tobacco Lavender EO Grapefruit EO Rosemary & Bergamot EO

This is the simplest solid lotion I make, and in my opinion, the best. It is simply 90% our own grassfed Scottish Highland tallow, and 10% liquid shea oil. This is amazing stuff - much less greasy/oily-feeling than my regular Body Balm (which I still love!), it soaks right in and really moisturizes. Tallow is great for skin, and is local, sustainable, and much more eco-friendly and ethical than many oils that contribute to deforestation, labor exploitation, etc. We render this ourselves, from our Highland steers - we try to respect the sacrifice our beautiful heritage cattle have made to feed and aid us, and use all that we can from the animals. (We also tan the hides and clean the skulls and horns as striking wall decorations). I only use natural essential oils in these salves, an artificial chemical fragrance seems out of place in a minimalist, all-natural salve! Rather than maintaining a stock of these in multiple fragrances, I will make this to order, so choose the essential oil blend you would like from the list and include a note to the grower at checkout with your selection. If you’re not sure or aren’t picky, just tell me if it’s for a male or female recipient, I’ll choose something appropriate. Currently Available: Lavender Yling-Ylang & Lavender Ginger, Lime & Lavender Eucalyptus Mint Grapefruit Rosemary-Bergamot Cedar, Lavender & Frankincense Cedar & Sage These salves come in a 1.5 oz metal tin with a lid.

Home-made, Small-Batch from our farm in Hillsboro. Oasis: A Skin Quenching Relief Salve "For those nasty skin irritations meet a soothing.....Oasis. Harness nature's healing properties with this vitamins and fatty acid rich salve. Dosage: Scratch no more. Apply me to your skin irritation gently and thinly after it's clean. Reapply until I've sooted your irritation away." "Good morning May. So glad to see you. Hello everyone, we are glad to see you too. We return with another Spotlight product of the month. Another salve to fill your healing arsenal, Oasis, A Skin Quenching Relief Salve. As we begin to approach the arrival of Summer, we seek to be outside more and more. The Sun kisses us gently but for some of us, it could be drying to our skin or even irritating if we get too much. But no need to worry. Grab this salve to aid your skin in relief and healing with the nature's blessings along with an abundance of vitamins and fatty acids. When the desire to scratch that itch, please grab for the salve instead. Make sure the area is clean prior to application. A thin layer will do and reapply until much better." There is a slew of products currently on the market advertising that they help with ‘pain this’ or ‘anti-inflammatory that’, but I am here to tell you the proof is in the ingredients with Oasis. Turmeric, Barberry, and Quercetin are blended together perfectly to offer the relief your body needs through known anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant therapeutic actions while also reducing redness and that annoying itchy sensation. The beautiful blend of base oils is what really holds this salve together with a wide array of Fatty Acids, including alpha-linolenic acid, which acts as a neuroprotectant. I love this product because it encourages the Herbalists’ view and understanding that less is actually more. We can see this by the simple blend of natural ingredients that make up Oasis. ZAO Organics understands the process of natural synergy and has formulated a beautifully working product that penetrates deep into the skin, providing each dermal layer with nourishment and relief. I highly recommend this product to anyone experiencing eczema, psoriasis, tinea, joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, varicose veins, and general issues involving pain and inflammation. - Rachael Dipple Certified Herbologist Holistic Health Practitioner

I love this scent - smoky, but a bit sweet. Bergamot essential oil is a dark, spicy citrus smell, like orange peel rather than orange juice, and it pairs beautifully with the smoky dark scent of cedarwood essential oil to make a great fragrance for men, as well as women. Why use a shampoo bar? Partly to avoid all those disturbing ingredients in commercial shampoo! Then wouldn’t any nice, handmade bar soap work? Well, I’ve tried it, with my own goat milk soap, and it was not what I wanted! Hair, and even more importantly our scalp, needs ultra-moisturizing treatment, and this bar is specially made to do that. Hair gets oily because we wash off all our natural oils, prompting the scalp to make more. But that makes our hair oily, so we wash it again, further stripping our scalp of natural protective oils... And because we’re stripping everything off our hair - and scalp - we need a conditioner to make it soft and smooth and healthy (everything the natural oils were trying to do, incidentally). Then, since we used a heavy conditioner, our hair is weighed-down and needs washing... Or, we can both clean and condition with a natural soap that gets out dirt and oils but doesn’t strip our hair, and simultaneously conditions it - and our scalp - with the naturally-occurring glycerin, as well as the goat milk and vitamin-rich egg yolks. Treating the scalp well is so important to healthy hair - if your skin is nourished and moisturized, it doesn’t need to produce more oils, and so your hair actually stays clean longer, and the whole cycle is healthier for hair and skin! This luxurious bar soap contains moisturizing olive, avocado and almond oils, and lots of castor oil which is great for hair, and local lard from pastured, non-GMO-fed pigs from Cove Creek Farm, hand-rendered here at Solace Farm, to give the shampoo stability and firmness. I also use my goats milk and some of my duck egg yolks for even more moisturizing. This bar doubles as a spectacular facial cleanser, in addition to being an amazingly conditioning shampoo, definitely the most moisturizing soap I've ever made. When using as shampoo, follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse (I use a small spritzer bottle) if you have harder water, and if you have soft water you probably don’t need anything, and there's no need for conditioner, although I sometimes use a teeny bit of diluted commercial organic conditioner as a leave-in detangler for my kids hair. Since I started making and using bar shampoo 10 years ago, this is all I use and I love it! Scented with only natural essential oils of Cedar & Frankincense, with Lavender and Patchouli. Molded bars are 4 oz, complete ingredients also on label, packaged in a windowed brown paperboard box.

I've paired the bright green, almost medicinal scent of Eucalyptus essential oil with the zingy wake-me-up aroma of Peppermint essential oil, for a great unisex fragrance.
