Lavender takes its name from the Latin lavare, “to wash.” The Romans scattered it through their bathwater, and for centuries the washerwomen of Europe were called “lavenders,” laying freshly washed linens over the flowering bushes to dry in the sun. One old legend says Mary did the same with the infant Jesus’s swaddling clothes, and that the plant was given its sweet scent in return. Hildegard of Bingen grew it in her abbey garden and praised it for keeping a clear mind, and Culpeper placed it under Mercury, the planet of the mind, the nerves, and the breath.

This herb has always been a keeper of calm. Lavender softens the tension we carry in the body, quiets a restless mind, and invites the nervous system back toward ease. It is gently cleansing and soothing, and it has long been used to comfort skin that is chafed, cracked, or tender. A swipe across the lips becomes a small ritual: a breath of lavender, a moment to slow down.

Rich beeswax from the hive seals in moisture and shields lips from wind and cold. Cocoa butter melts in to soften and nourish, coconut oil soothes and protects, and sweet almond oil keeps lips supple through the driest days of the year.

Ingredients: beeswax, cocoa butter, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, lavender essential oil

Made by hand in small batches.
