         Keeping Skincare Real

 

The idea behind Serenity Salves is simple: begin with time-tested formulations and then carefully handcraft ointments using pure, natural, and organic ingredients. Following a survey of Chinese dermatology texts, we identified three topical remedies that treat a broad spectrum of skin ailments and have helped millions of patients. Each one is made with a generous amount of premium, tested herb infused in organic sesame oil with organic beeswax and skin-nourishing vitamin E added.

 

The current trend in skincare is to offer all-in-one products.  Skin replenishing vitamins?  Got it.  Antioxidants?  Of course.  Exotic herbs?  Loads.  Some of everything trendy.

 

We can be a bit contrary at times, so we decided to completely ignore everybody else and set out to make salves using ONLY FOUR NATURAL INGREDIENTS.  Our idea was to offer truly therapeutic amounts of all the ingredients with no inactive components.  We tested and then sourced the finest sesame oil, American beeswax, and vitamin E oil (all certified organic) to make our salve base.

 

Next, we surveyed the Chinese medical literature on dermatology and identified the most versatile traditional salves used in Chinese clinics.  We chose three preparations that have helped millions of Chinese patients and handcrafted each preparation, carefully following the traditional method, with a potent infusion of a single herb in our organic salve base.

 

Be forewarned, our salves are the real deal.  Their fragrance blends nutty sesame with the light spice of herbs without the cloying sweetness of chemical perfumes.  Without petroleum or added stabilizers, our salves soften slightly when warm, and, after applying our salves, your skin will shimmer with the rich nutrition of organic sesame oil until fully absorbed. 

 

If our skincare products seem old-fashioned, they are: as old-fashioned, nurturing, and healing as Nature itself.  Discover how powerfully effective simplicity and purity can be.
