About this Product
Calendula and tamanu skin care salve is one of my most used herbal salves in our family, for our natural skin care routines. Research has shown evidence of its ability to heal damaged skin. It has shown to benefit the treatment for scarring, stretch marks, minor cuts and abrasions and rashes. Tamanu oil has anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, antibacterial, and anti-fungal qualities.
This organic tamanu oil has been extracted by a cold pressed method from the whole organic nuts of the Polynesian Tamanu tree.
Organic tamanu oil has been combined with organic sunflower oil which has been infused with my organically grown calendula petals. To this, natural beeswax is added. The healing oils of lavender and tea tree may be added.
This listing is for a one-ounce screw-top metal tin of my Tamanu-Calendula Salve. This salve is made fresh when ordered. It can be made with no added scent or with added organic essential oils of lavender and tea tree.
There are often variations in the color of the organic tamanu oil which may cause the finished salve to vary a little from the original photo. Tamanu oil has a distinctive nutty scent. The unscented salve is listed as unscented because I have added no extra essential oils. It does have the natural scents of the herbs and oils used to make the salve.
Ingredients: *Tamanu (Calophyllum inophyllum) oil*, *Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seed oil* infused with organically grown calendula (Calendula officinalis) flowers, Natural Beeswax,
Note: Please check ingredients listed to make sure that you have no known sensitivity to them.

Meet the Maker
Welcome and thank you for visiting my shop. My name is Gabrielle and I live in South Louisiana. In 2014 my husband and I built a new home with a special room called my soap room. Most of my day is spent here making my herbal salves and soaps. My daughter helps be package and ship my products to my customers. Other family members help me by saving their packaging materials which I happily recycle in my shipping boxes. Sometimes my grandchildren and great grandchildren help me by harvesting some of the herbs in my gardens which are used in my products.
This is a story which I would like to share:
With a love for God and nature, plus a fascination with herbs. and a desire to create natural herbal soap I began my dream. My husband, Herb, and I loved gardening and nature and started a pecan orchard and small herb nursery which we called Gabrielle Acres Farm.
In 2004, my husband, Herb, and I were vendors at our local farmer’s market when a customer lost control of her car and crashed into me as we sat at our booth. Years of quiet time and rehabilitation became a life-changing experience. Soapmaking would now become a reality. In 2008, I opened my Herbfriend's shop on Etsy! After that experience I had time to rethink my life. One of my dreams was to make handmade soap and to learn more about the herbs that I loved, those growing in my garden and those growing around in our natural environments. I had put those things on the "back burner" as I went along keeping busy each day; hoping, one day, to find time to do it. My husband, Herb, and four grown children, plus seventeen grandchildren are now wanting to use my products for their families. It is a nice complement and I love doing this. It is so much fun doing something that I enjoy and something that I had dreamed of doing. Now I make time for those special things! All of my products are made using natural ingredients, many are wild-crafted or certified organic. No artificial colors or scents are used in my body products, only natural oils, butters, herbs and essential oils. (It is with a heavy heart that I let my customers know that I lost my husband, Herb, in 2017. I give thanks for our little herb business (Gabrielle Acres) which helps give me the desire to get up each morning, I know Herb is watching me and smiling as I continue what we began together.)
Shop Policies
As the seasons change, my gardens rest and then begin to flourish. Each season, some of are resting, but other herbs begin to grow lavishly. I enjoy God’s gifts and continue to grow, harvest, and prepare those herbs for my salves, balms and soaps. Sometimes, some of my salves temporarily sell out, but I continually work to harvest and prepare more. My products are all hand made by me.
My processing time is usually between 1 to 3 days.
