Nature's Protective Barrier for Dry, Delicate Skin
Our Calendula Ointment is a rich, water-free balm handcrafted to protect, soften and deeply nourish dry skin. Made with just three carefully selected ingredients— certified organic calendula flowers, organic olive oil and locally sourced Australian beeswax —this traditional ointment creates a long-lasting protective barrier that helps lock in moisture where your skin needs it most.
Unlike petroleum-based ointments, our formula is made entirely from naturally derived ingredients, allowing your skin to enjoy the goodness of botanicals without unnecessary synthetic additives.
Handcrafted on our regenerative farm on the Sapphire Coast of New South Wales, every jar reflects our commitment to sustainability, simplicity and quality.

What's Inside?
Certified Organic Calendula Flowers ( Calendula officinalis )
Calendula has been treasured in traditional herbal skincare for centuries. We slowly infuse our certified organic flowers into organic olive oil over several weeks, allowing the botanical compounds to gently infuse into the oil before being carefully filtered by hand.
Organic Olive Oil
Rich in natural fatty acids, olive oil helps soften and condition dry skin while providing lasting moisture.
Australian Beeswax
Locally sourced beeswax creates a breathable protective layer that helps reduce moisture loss while leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable.

How to Use
Night-Time Routine
For intensive overnight nourishment:
Heels & Feet Apply generously to clean, dry heels before bed and cover with cotton socks.
Hands & Fingertips Massage into dry hands and cracked fingertips before sleeping. Cotton gloves can be worn overnight for an intensive treatment.
Nappy Area Apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin to provide a protective moisture barrier.
Daytime Use
Lips Apply as often as needed to keep lips feeling soft and protected.
Hands Massage a small amount into dry hands after washing.
Dry Patches Apply wherever your skin needs extra nourishment and protection from dryness.
Why Choose an Ointment?
Unlike creams, ointments contain no water. Their rich texture stays on the surface of the skin for longer, helping to seal in moisture and protect areas prone to dryness.
This makes them especially suitable for rough, dry patches that benefit from long-lasting hydration.
