Both our Super Salve and our Healing Salve are made with a blend of herbs, olive oil, and beeswax (no essential oils) and can be used similarly. We call both of these little beauties Nature's Neosporin (but better). They both help with inflammation, are antimicrobial, and encourage cell regeneration to help wounds heal better and healthy scar tissue to form. Both are great for minor wounds, burns, and bites.
The main difference is that Super Salve has a bit more of an "oomph" regarding healing power. With a greater variety of herbs, this is your go-to for more healing ability. It can also help with bumps, bruises, blisters, and sprains. Yet is versatile enough to still be used for chapped lips, cuticles, and dry hands. You can't go wrong with either option.
