About this Product
CHICKWEED (Stellaria media) has an excellent reputation for use as an external remedy for skin itching and irritation. It is often beneficial for eczema or psoriasis irritations. It has shown to help as an anti-inflammatory treatment for joints and for helping to heal and give relief to skin rashes and eczema.
The chickweed was lovingly harvested by me from my organically grown gardens and was infused in organic, cold pressed, sunflower oil. The salve listed has no added essential oils, but I give the option of added lavender or lavender and tea tree essential oils. The natural herbal scent of the infused chickweed is present in my chickweed salve. The color variations of the finished salve depend on my harvested chickweed and the color or the organic beeswax that is added to make the salve. Chickweed grows here during our winter months and the chickweed oil will be a brighter green while it is freshly picked. My dried chickweed gradually loses some of its color, thus the oil I make is not as green, but is still as strong. I would be happy to add some tea tree or lavender to yours, if desired. Please let me know if there is a special essential oil which you would like for me to add to your salve. My salves are made to order.
This listing is for one one-ounce tin or of my chickweed salve. The small metal tin holds one ounce of my salve and measure 1 7/8 inches in diameter and stands 1 inch high. The tin fits nicely in a pocket or purse.
Ingredients: *Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seed oil*, Chickweed (Stellaria media), Beeswax (Cera alba).
*Certified Organic Ingredient*
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.)

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.
