Botanical Skin Salve with Helichrysum, Frankincense & Lavender

 

Calistea's Restore Salve is a concentrated botanical balm formulated for moments when skin feels overworked, depleted, or in need of focused, intentional care. Rich, slow-absorbing, and deeply nourishing — this is not a daily all-over moisturizer. It is targeted care for skin that needs more.


A rich base of olive, sweet almond, jojoba, and castor oils creates lasting moisture and barrier support. Rosehip seed oil adds skin-conditioning depth. Beeswax forms a breathable protective layer that slows moisture loss and encourages prolonged skin contact during application.


Helichrysum and frankincense — both slow-infused into the formula — are among the most traditionally valued botanicals in skin restoration and calming care. The texture is smooth and substantial, absorbing gradually in a way that naturally slows the application down.


A subtle aromatic blend of lavender and frankincense essential oils unfolds softly on the skin — steadying and grounding rather than sharp or stimulating. Restore is well suited for use on areas of tension, dry or stressed skin, or wherever the body calls for quiet attention.


Balanced, grounding, and intentionally gentle — care that meets the body where it is.


Ideal for:

•       Dry, overworked, or depleted skin

•       Neck, shoulder, and chest application

•       Hands and feet needing intensive care

•       Evening wind-down and grounding rituals

•       Focused, intentional self-care moments

•       Skin that needs targeted support rather than all-over moisture

 

Suitable for all skin types.

What Is a Botanical Salve?


A salve is a concentrated, water-free balm made with plant oils and natural waxes. Because there is no water in the formula, every ingredient is active — there is no dilution. This makes salves significantly more concentrated than creams or lotions.


Compared to a body cream or lotion, a salve:

•       Creates a protective moisture barrier rather than simply hydrating

•       Absorbs slowly, allowing prolonged skin contact with botanical infusions

•       Delivers a higher concentration of active plant oils per use

•       Is designed for targeted application rather than full-body coverage

•       Lasts longer per use — a small amount goes a meaningful distance

 

Restore is formulated for focused use — areas of specific dryness, tension, or attention — rather than as a daily all-over product.

What's Inside

A concentrated botanical balm built around some of the most traditionally valued botanicals in skin restoration. Rich, slow-absorbing, and deeply nourishing — formulated for moments when skin feels overworked, depleted, or in need of focused, intentional care.


Key Ingredients:

  • Olive Fruit Oil (Olea Europaea) — A deeply nourishing base oil rich in oleic acid; contributes to the salve's rich, protective texture and lasting moisture
  • Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis) — A lightweight emollient that improves spreadability and adds skin-softening depth to the base
  • Jojoba Seed Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis) — A wax ester that mimics skin's natural lipids and supports comfortable moisture balance without heaviness
  • Castor Seed Oil (Ricinus Communis) — Contributes to the salve's thick, protective consistency and helps create lasting skin contact
  • Rosehip Seed Oil (Rosa Canina) — A skin-conditioning oil traditionally valued for supporting suppleness and smoothness
  • Beeswax (Cera Alba) — Forms a breathable protective layer that slows moisture loss and holds botanical infusions against the skin during application
  • Helichrysum Italicum Flower Extract — A slow-infused botanical traditionally among the most valued in skin-soothing and restorative care
  • Frankincense Resin Extract (Boswellia Carterii) — A resin extract traditionally used in botanical skincare for grounding, conditioning, and skin-calming support
  • Lavender Essential Oil (Lavandula Angustifolia) — Provides the primary soft, calming aromatic note — light, familiar, and gentle
  • Frankincense Essential Oil (Boswellia Carterii) — Adds depth and warmth to the aromatic profile — grounding rather than stimulating
  • Rosemary Leaf Extract (Rosmarinus Officinalis) — A natural antioxidant that helps preserve the plant oils in the formula
  • Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — Further protects the formula's oils and supports skin conditioning
How to use

Warm a small amount between your fingertips until it softens. Massage slowly into areas of concern — neck, shoulders, chest, hands, or feet are common application points.


Use as needed for intensive moisture and aromatic support. Best used in the evening as part of a wind-down routine, or any time the body calls for slower, more deliberate care.


For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
