Preorder: Understory Salve and Calendula Mint Lip Balm

Two essentials for skin that needs real care.

This pairing brings together two formulations rooted in what plants offer when we pay attention—calendula and dandelion working quietly to soothe, wool-derived lanolin and jojoba providing the deep nourishment skin remembers, and a whisper of peppermint to wake up tired lips.

The Understory Salve

A multi-purpose balm for the small moments that matter: dry patches, minor irritations, the tender spots that ask for something gentle but effective. We built this around calendula and dandelion-infused oils—both plants with a long history of supporting skin—then anchored it with lanolin, mango butter, and beeswax. The result is a salve that absorbs without feeling heavy, that works whether you're reaching for it at your desk or before bed.

The essential oil blend adds warmth without overpowering. This is a salve that knows its job and does it well.

The Calendula Mint Lip Balm

Lips deserve attention too. We started with jojoba oil as the foundation—it mirrors skin's natural oils, so it actually nourishes rather than just coating—then added lanolin for lasting moisture and beeswax to help it stay put. Rosehip oil brings antioxidants. A touch of peppermint gives a gentle tingle and reminds you it's there.

Small, portable, honest. The kind of lip balm you'll actually reach for.
