Arnica & Yarrow Salve

Arnica:

 Long used in traditional herbalism, arnica is known for its ability to soothe overworked areas, ease tension, and help diminish the look of bruising or inflammation. Blended into tallow, it offers a naturally comforting touch for skin that needs a little extra care.

Yarrow: 

Yarrow has a long history of use for calming irritated skin, supporting natural repair, and helping reduce the look of redness and minor irritation. Its traditional reputation for cleansing, toning, and encouraging healthy-looking skin makes it a wonderful addition to nourishing tallow.

Why Tallow?

At Rickety Bridge Soap Emporium, every batch of whipped tallow butter is created with care and intention. Tallow is one of nature’s most skin-friendly moisturizers, deeply nourishing and remarkably similar to the oils our own skin produces. By sourcing suet locally and rendering it myself, I not only create a more sustainable product but also save these valuable fats from being wasted.

Notes on Use & Care

• Texture: Because this is a natural, preservative free product, you may occasionally notice a light graininess. This is completely normal and does not affect performance.

• Temperature: Extreme heat or cold may cause changes in texture. Simply store at room temperature for best results.

• Storage: Keep in a cool dry place.

• Safety: Made only with skin safe, non-toxic ingredients, but not intended for ingestion or internal use. Avoid introducing water into the jar of salve and always make sure to use clean hands. Since no preservatives are used, the introduction of water and dirt can cause bacterial or fungal growth in your salve.

Packaging

Each butter comes in a 4 ounce mason jar, labeled with ingredients and designed with simplicity and sustainability in mind. No inner seals, no excess plastic — just clean, reusable glass and minimal packaging. Orders are shipped with recyclable shredded paper and biodegradable packing peanuts whenever possible.

Natural Products & Weather

Because I don’t use stabilizers or preservatives, my products are truly natural—and a little more sensitive to temperature changes. Extreme heat may cause tallow to melt, while cold weather can cause them to freeze. If your butter arrives melted, simply pop it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm it up again. It may take on a slightly grainy texture after temperature changes, but rest assured, it’s still perfectly safe and wonderfully nourishing for your skin.

Please note: I cannot re-ship or refund products that melt during transit, so please consider your local weather when ordering in the warmer months.
