🌿 Stillwater Restorative Salve

Where irritated skin finds quiet.

— A Colonial Apothecary Expanded Pitch With Psoriasis Support —

In the early colonies, when the land was harsh and the winters unrelenting, the ailments that troubled the skin were met not with perfumes or stimulants, but with patience, herbs, and steady hands. Among the settlers, there were those whose skin would redden, flake, and crack without warning — conditions we now understand as chronic irritation, but which the apothecaries of the time recognized as requiring the gentlest of remedies. Stillwater Restorative Salve is crafted in that same spirit of quiet, deliberate care.

This balm is built for skin that has grown weary from inflammation, dryness, and the unpredictable nature of recurring flare‑ups. It carries no fragrance, no sharp oils, and no unnecessary adornment — only the calm, steady support that troubled skin has always needed.

A Foundation of Honest Oils for Troubled Skin

Colonial healers relied on rich plant oils to soften and protect skin worn thin by cold, wind, and labor. Stillwater follows that lineage with a blend of avocado, sweet almond, jojoba, rosehip, hemp seed, red raspberry, meadowfoam, apricot kernel, and sunflower oils. These oils were prized for their ability to:

• soften hardened, flaky patches

• replenish the skin’s natural barrier

• ease the tightness that comes with dryness

• support the skin’s natural recovery

For those whose skin flared in cycles, these oils offered steady nourishment without provoking further irritation.

Herbs Chosen for Calm and Restoration

In colonial apothecaries, jars of dried herbs lined the shelves — each gathered in season, each known for its particular virtue. Stillwater draws from that same tradition, infusing its oils with botanicals long used to soothe distressed skin:

• Calendula and comfrey to comfort and encourage repair

• Aloe, nettle, and burdock to ease redness and dryness

• Gotu kola, rosehips, and sea buckthorn to support renewal

• Dandelion, alfalfa, and hawthorn for balance and vitality

• Echinacea, goldenseal, wormwood, and ginseng in their gentlest infused form for added herbal strength

These herbs were the quiet allies of those whose skin needed calm rather than stimulation.

How Stillwater Supports Psoriasis‑Prone Skin

Though the colonists had no name for it, they knew the signs well: skin that cracked without cause, patches that reddened and flaked, areas that demanded both moisture and mercy. Stillwater is crafted to meet those needs through:

• deep emollients that soften plaques and reduce flaking

• barrier‑supportive oils that help the skin retain moisture

• calming botanicals that soothe irritation and discomfort

• a fragrance‑free, non‑stimulating profile that avoids provoking sensitive areas

• a breathable beeswax shield that protects without suffocating the skin

It does not overwhelm the skin — it steadies it.

A Balm Forged for Relief

Mango butter and shea butter melt into the skin with a smooth, comforting glide, offering long‑lasting moisture to areas made fragile by inflammation. Beeswax forms a protective layer, guarding the skin from the elements while allowing it to breathe and mend.

For Those Who Endure the Elements — And Their Own Skin

Stillwater Restorative Salve is made for:

• patches of irritated, inflamed skin

• dry, flaking, or hardened areas

• elbows, knees, knuckles, and hands worn by labor

• skin recovering from harsh weather or recurring flare‑ups

• freshly healed tattoos that need gentle, fragrance‑free moisture as they settle

• any place where the body calls for quiet restoration

It spreads with the slow, deliberate melt of a true apothecary balm, leaving behind a soft, protective layer that helps the skin settle, breathe, and rebuild.

A Remedy in the Spirit of the Colonies

Stillwater is not a luxury. It is a companion — the kind kept beside the hearth, carried in a satchel on long journeys, or offered to a neighbor with the simple promise: “This will bring you some peace.”
