Because our skin is so absorbent, many lotions and other forms of moisture tend to be absorbed quickly and don't last long on the skin. When salves are applied, the ingredients aren't as quickly absorbed and sit on the skin providing long lasting moisture.
Oil-rich salves are used to nourish and protect skin. They lock moisture in, keeping skin soft and smooth throughout the seasons.
Balms can be used to soothe chapped skin, treat insect bites, bumps and bruises; salves are useful for massaging sore muscles and moisturising skin.
Some salves are made to draw out toxins. Some are made to promote healing. Some are made to prevent infection.
