This kit is just one of the happy results of years spent bonding over nature and caring for both the planet and its people. LadyBug EarthCare picked these balms as their go-to favorites for tackling all those inevitable cuts and scrapes that come with tending the land.

All products are lovingly made by the herbalists of Susquehanna Botanicals. Read on for product descriptions!

THIS KIT INCLUDES:

• 2oz jar of Cuts and Scrapes Salve
• 2oz jar of Sore Joints and Muscle Salve
• 2oz jar of Bites, Stings, and Itches Salve
• 2oz bottle of Insect Repellent
• 4oz bottle of Soothing Poison Ivy Spray

ABOUT CUTS AND SCRAPES SALVE
Our cuts & scrapes salve is a proprietary blend of organic and wild-crafted plant ingredients with organic coconut and olive oils, and beeswax. It is for topical use only.

This salve can be used along with first aid products for minor abrasions, incisions, and punctures. It contains herbs such as yarrow, which may staunch bleeding by supporting the natural coagulation of blood and formation of scabs. Echinacea may act as an antibacterial agent at the site of a wound, while helichrysum and geranium may prevent the formation of scar tissue!

Because we do not add aromatic essential oils to our products, this salve only has a gentle, slightly vegetal scent unnoticeable to others within your vicinity. Your natural body heat will melt this oil-based product and allow small amounts to spread easily across the affected area.

ABOUT BITES, STINGS, & ITCHES SALVE

This salve may support a healthy histamine response, and assist the skin to recover from rashes! It can also be used as a moisturizer and to protect against winter dryness. We chose herbs for this salve with these objectives in mind; while plantain may impart an antiseptic action on insect bites and may draw out irritants, bee balm and jewelweed may reduce welts, rashes, and itching.

ABOUT SORE JOINTS + MUSCLES SALVE

This salve may help to relieve pain and tension in aching muscles and joints. The blend is designed to impart warmth and may promote circulation to the applied area. Herbs like solomon’s seal may promote the regeneration of injured connective tissues, while stinging nettle, cayenne, and mustard may provide anti-inflammatory effects! 

HOW WE MAKE OUR SALVES
Because we know the power of full spectrum plant extracts, we use herb infused oils rather than essential oils as the basis for the beneficial actions of our salves. Our topicals are made from raw plant matter precisely extracted with low heat into the finest organic oils. They are then blended with locally sourced beeswax to enhance texture and preserve the beneficial herbal properties. 

ABOUT THE POISON IVY SPRAY

Did you know jewelweed, a plant famous for drawing out irritating plant oils from wounds, very often grows near/next to patches of poison ivy? We take advantage of this willing plant, combine it with drying witch hazel, and add soothing green tea and aloe to this formula for this natural itch-and-ooze remedy. Formulated with the discomfort of a poison ivy rash in mind, this product has proved its worth, with its ability to calm the relentless fury of all manner of summer itches!  

ABOUT THE INSECT REPELLENT

Shield yourself with our natural insect repellent spray made from organic essential oils. Packaged in a lightweight post consumer recycled 2 oz spray bottle, this product is ready to hit the trail when you are! This product is not intended for use with pets, please consult your veterinarian before use. Daily tick checks are always recommended, even when using repellent! 

ABOUT OUR HERBAL BODY CARE LINE
Human beings have a long-standing history of toxic beauty trends; lead, mercury, and arsenic-based makeup among the worst recorded! These days, sulfates, parabens, and coal tar dyes are the current ingredients under scrutiny. It’s no wonder folks are turning towards natural, herb-based products to incorporate into their self-care rituals. Our herbal body care line is an answer to this demand–made with safe, organically sourced ingredients, cold-pressed oils, herbs that have been used to nourish and repair skin since antiquity, and nothing else.
