Description

My favorite place in the world is the Oregon Coast. I have spent many days of my life in its oceanic glow, covered in salt and sublimely happy simply being in its presence. This summer I took a little piece of the ocean back to Austin, Texas: wild-growing Yarrow, Achillea Millefolium.

Yarrow is a powerful magical herb. It strengthens one’s courage and helps the user define boundaries. At a time when the world is screaming in our faces at all times, to have the courage to hold firm one’s boundaries is crucial. Named after the brave and unstoppable Achilles, yarrow is an herb for these unprecedented times. Achilles had a great affection in his handsome Patroclus, and so yarrow blooms in our hearts to enhance feelings of love. Courage and love go hand in hand, after all.

I brought the dried flowers home and infused them into sunflower oil, my favorite nourishing hydrator. The essential oils of blue tansy, blue chamomile, blue yarrow, lavender and sandalwood make up the sweet scent blend. This salve smells dreamy.

We named this the Soothing Ocean Salve because the color is reminiscent of Oregon’s beautiful ocean spray, just at the moment the sun sets and the sky turns from yellows and oranges to greens and dusty blues. Yarrow is rooted in the earth yet connected to the divine, just like the sea. This formula, relying heavily on this world-spanning herb, is simple yet profound.

    Salve

    This product is very smooth. No strong scent, just a clean smell. Only problem is, the tin is too small.

    The eyes have it!

    I use this as my daily eye cream. Make up goes over the top of this well. Hides the wrinkles by plumping the skin!
