Drawing salve for skin purification and repair
Drawing salves have been used for generations as a practical way to support the skin when something needs a little extra help coming out. Our Drawing Salve is a thoughtfully crafted blend designed to gently draw impurities, calm irritation, and support the skin’s natural healing process.
 
This is one of those old-school remedies that earns its place by being useful. Simple, effective, and made with ingredients that work together rather than compete.
 
A purposeful blend of time-tested ingredients
Each component in this salve is chosen for how it supports the skin, both individually and as part of the whole formula.
 
Olive oil (Olea europaea) serves as a nourishing base that softens the skin and helps carry herbal compounds deep into the affected area. It supports the skin barrier while keeping the salve gentle enough for repeated use.
Beeswax creates a breathable, protective layer that helps seal in moisture while shielding the skin from environmental irritants. This allows the skin to focus on repair rather than defense.
Bentonite clay is a mineral-rich clay traditionally used for its ability to bind to impurities and excess oils. It works by gently drawing unwanted material to the surface, helping clarify stressed or congested skin.
Activated charcoal is widely used for its adsorptive properties, binding to debris and impurities on the skin’s surface. In a drawing salve, it helps support the removal of unwanted material while keeping the area clean.
Calendula flowers (Calendula officinalis) are well known in herbalism for their soothing and tissue-supportive properties. Calendula has a long history of use in formulas meant to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and support skin recovery.
Frankincense essential oil (Boswellia spp.) is traditionally valued for its calming and restorative effects on the skin. It is often used to support irritated areas and encourage healthy tissue repair.
 
Why drawing salves are still trusted
Rather than forcing the skin to do anything, a drawing salve works by creating the right conditions for the skin to respond naturally. By combining nourishing oils with mineral-based drawing agents and soothing botanicals, this formula helps coax out splinters, debris, and impurities while keeping the skin calm and supported.
 
It is a practical, multipurpose salve that fits easily into everyday care.
