Skin Relief Salve Stick: The Twist-Up Balm That Lives in Our Pocket
Save
Farm hands take a beating between planting, weeding, pruning and harvest, and the Lavender Skin Relief Salve Stick is the little tool we reach for a dozen times a day in the busy seasons. It is a rich, lavender-scented balm in a twist-up stick that glides right onto dry, rough spots and leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable. No jar, no lid, no balm on your phone screen.
Choosing a size
| Size | Good fit for |
|---|---|
| 0.5 oz stick | Jeans pockets, purses, the glovebox and tool belts |
| 1 oz stick | Home, the workbench and anyone who uses it daily |
Where to swipe it
- Knuckles and the backs of hands, which dry out fastest after frequent washing
- Cuticles, especially after a day of digging without gloves
- Elbows and heels, where skin feels rough in cold weather
- Any dry patch that needs a quick, targeted swipe
Swipe a thin layer, then rub it in with your fingertips. The herbal lavender scent stays gentle, so it will not compete with the smell of fresh-cut stems or your morning coffee.
Why a stick instead of a tin
With a tin, you need a clean finger and a free hand. With a stick, you twist, swipe and get back to work. That makes it far more likely to get used out in the garden, at a craft table or halfway through a shift. Cap it tightly so it does not pick up lint in a pocket.
Like any balm, it softens in heat. Avoid leaving it on a sunny dashboard in July; a pocket or glovebox is a better home.
A gift for hard workers
Gardeners, crafters, carpenters and anyone with busy hands will put this to use. It is a small, practical gift on its own and a smart add-on to a gardener's basket in the Gift Box Builder.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use it on cuts or irritated skin?
It is a cosmetic balm made for dry, rough-feeling skin. For broken, irritated or injured skin, check with a medical professional and follow the label.
How is it different from the Skin Relief Travel Stick?
Both are portable balms. The travel stick's listing calls out shea butter, vitamin E and a cooling peppermint feel; this salve stick comes in 0.5 oz and 1 oz sizes with a gentle herbal lavender scent.
Is it greasy?
It is rich, so start with a thin swipe and rub it in. A little covers a lot of knuckles.
