Not for kids.

After-Sun Rose Vinegar Spritz-

Heal-All Salve- 
comfrey, calendula, plantain, yarrow, lavender essential oil, olive oil, beeswax

The Heal-All Salve is good for speedy healing on nearly any scratch, scrape, bug bite, bruise, burn, dry skin, etc.  The Heal-All Salve is pain relieving and soothing to the skin, and is a must-have-salve for any first aid kit or travel bag.  As with all salves, please be mindful that you clean the wound first so as to not seal in any infection or debris.  For burns, wait "until the fire is out" (cold water, lavender essential oil, or rose vinegar spritz can help with initial cooling) to apply the salve.

Body Butter Bar- 
cocoa butter, shea butter, olive oil infused with calendula, comfrey, cottonwood, coffee and oats, beeswax, clary sage essential oil
Rub on for healing and moisturizing that lasts. Great for tough, calloused skin, and areas that tend to dry out more quickly.

Kombucha- 
Enjoy your kombucha on its own, or try it with a teaspoon of the Happy Heart Elixer. Did you know that kombucha can be used topically for fungal & candida overgrowth? It sure can! Just make sure that you let it sit out and ferment a bit longer so that ALL of the sugars are metabolized out.
