Why Make Your Own Neosporin?
Most store-bought ointments contain chemicals that, while effective, may disrupt the body’s natural balance and potentially lead to hormone imbalances, such as thyroid function and estrogen levels. These imbalances can impact weight, mood, reproductive health, and more. In contrast, a homemade herbal salve uses plant-based ingredients that work in harmony with the body, supporting its natural healing process without synthetic interference.
When to Use Your Salve
Minor Cuts and Scrapes
Apply a small amount of salve directly to the cut or scrape to reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and promote faster healing.
Burns
Gently spread the salve over minor burns to soothe pain and support skin regeneration. Its natural compounds help cool the skin, reduce redness, and speed up recovery.
Rashes
For itchy or irritated rashes, this salve can provide relief by calming inflammation and reducing redness. Apply a thin layer and allow it to absorb for the best effect.
Bug Bites and Stings
The salve works wonders for swelling, itching, and pain caused by bug bites and stings. Apply a small dab to the affected area to ease discomfort and draw out toxins from the skin.
Dry, Chapped Skin
Use the salve as a deeply moisturizing balm for cracked or dry skin. It leaves skin soft and supple, making it ideal for hands, elbows, feet, or any area needing extra hydration.
Bruises
Apply to bruises to reduce swelling and discoloration, thanks to the anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting properties of herbs like calendula and comfrey.
Blisters
For blisters, apply a thin layer to protect the skin and encourage faster healing.
Sunburns
Apply the salve to cool and soothe sunburned skin. Its regenerative properties promote cell recovery and reduce redness and peeling.
Eczema and Psoriasis
This salve can be helpful for eczema and psoriasis, calming redness, itching, and irritation while supporting the skin’s repair.
Application Tips
Clean the Area: Before applying, clean the affected area with witch hazel and water to remove any dirt or bacteria.
Apply Sparingly: A little goes a long way! Dab a small amount onto your finger or a cotton swab and gently spread over the area. The salve absorbs well, so avoid over-application.
Let it Absorb: Give the salve time to absorb into the skin. If applying to an open wound, allow it to sit for a few minutes before covering with a bandage, if needed.
The Science of Healing Herbs
Each herb in this salve brings its own unique benefits, from reducing inflammation to supporting tissue repair. But you don’t need to use all of them to create an effective healing salve! Even a simple combination of a few herbs will provide powerful support. Here’s a closer look at some of the core herbs used in Super Nature Neosporin and how their active compounds contribute to natural skin healing.
1. Calendula (Calendula officinalis)
- Key Compounds:
- Triterpenoids, flavonoids, carotenoids, essential oils.
- Benefits:
- Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, calendula helps to reduce redness and swelling while promoting skin cell regeneration. The flavonoids and carotenoids present also act as antioxidants, protecting skin cells from damage and encouraging wound healing.
2. Sage (Salvia officinalis)
- Key Compounds:
- Rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, flavonoids, tannins.
- Benefits:
- Sage is highly antimicrobial, helping prevent infections in open wounds. It also stimulates cell regeneration, ensuring damaged skin recovers more quickly and reducing the chance of scarring.
3. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
- Key Compounds:
- Thymol, carvacrol, rosmarinic acid.
- Benefits:
- These compounds provide antiseptic qualities, making thyme especially effective for preventing bacterial growth in cuts or burns. Additionally, thyme improves circulation to the affected area, supporting faster healing.
4. Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)
- Key Compounds:
- Allantoin, mucilage, triterpenoids, phenolic acids.
- Benefits:
- Comfrey is a classic wound healer, with allantoin promoting the growth of new cells and reducing inflammation. Its mucilage content also soothes irritated skin and keeps it hydrated, helping wounds stay moist and encouraging faster healing.
5. Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea)
- Key Compounds:
- Polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, alkamides.
- Benefits:
- Echinacea not only reduces scarring by promoting tissue regeneration but also has natural antiviral and antibacterial properties. It’s ideal for preventing infection and supporting the skin’s recovery from wounds.
6. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)
- Key Compounds:
- Chamazulene, bisabolol, apigenin.
- Benefits:
- Chamomile is excellent for soothing inflammation and irritation, making it beneficial for burns, rashes, and other skin irritations. Chamazulene and bisabolol are anti-inflammatory and support the natural healing process.
7. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
- Key Compounds:
- Linalool, linalyl acetate, terpinen-4-ol.
- Benefits:
- Lavender is known for its calming scent, but its antibacterial and antifungal properties make it a powerful addition to this salve. It helps prevent infection in wounds and soothes burns or irritated skin.
8. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
- Key Compounds:
- Linalool, camphor, azulene.
- Benefits:
- This herb promotes blood clotting, which can be beneficial for open wounds. Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties also help reduce swelling and relieve irritation from bites or stings.
Base Oils and Their Benefits
Beyond herbs, the oils in this recipe serve as a vehicle for delivering these active compounds into the skin. The oils in this salve act as a nourishing base, helping to deliver the herbs’ healing properties into the skin. Each oil offers unique benefits, but feel free to use just one or mix a few depending on what you have available. Any of these choices will work well to create a potent and moisturizing base. Here’s a closer look at the base oils commonly used in Super Nature Neosporin and how each one contributes to skin healing:
Olive Oil:
Rich in oleic acid and antioxidants, olive oil deeply moisturizes and allows herbs to penetrate the skin, enhancing their healing effects.
Safflower Oil:
With high linoleic acid content, safflower oil is a light moisturizer that supports the skin’s barrier, aiding in faster repair and soothing dryness.
Sunflower Oil:
Known for its Vitamin E content, sunflower oil protects the skin from environmental stressors and helps extend the salve’s shelf life by acting as a natural preservative.
Coconut Oil
This oil brings additional antimicrobial properties to the salve, as well as deep moisture, making it ideal for softening the skin and adding extra protection.
Beeswax: The Protector
Beeswax adds a barrier to the skin, locking in moisture and protecting wounds from external irritants. This makes it an essential ingredient for creating a salve that remains on the skin and provides lasting protection. The barrier created by beeswax helps prevent dehydration in cuts and allows herbs to penetrate deeply into the skin.
Infusing the Oil : Sun vs. Heat Methods
The method you choose for infusing herbs into oil can influence the potency of your salve. The traditional sun infusion method is gentle, preserving delicate compounds and creating a well-balanced, effective remedy. However, a quicker heat-based infusion (using a double boiler) can still release many of the herbs’ benefits, especially when time is of the essence. Either method works well, so choose the one that best fits your schedule!
How to Store Your Salve
Cool, Dark Place: Store it in a cool, dark place, such as a bathroom cabinet or a drawer, to maintain its shelf life ( I personally keep it in my fanny pack and keep it on me at all times since I go through it so quickly )
Avoid Heat: High temperatures can melt the beeswax in the salve, affecting its texture and effectiveness. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
Add Vitamin E (Optional): Adding a few drops of Vitamin E oil helps extend the shelf life by acting as a natural preservative, keeping the salve effective for up to a year.
