Calendula & Plantain Salve

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.

Calendula & Plantain Salve is perfect for all skin types and all ages! It make a wonderful salve for minor bumps and bruises, scrapes, diaper rash, bug bites, blemishes, eczema, cracked skin, and so much more. I specifically formulated this salve to be gentle and safe enough for babies and pets. 

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: Avoid introducing water into the jar to keep your butter fresh.

• Safety: Made only with skin-safe, non-toxic ingredients, but not intended for ingestion or internal use.

• Filling: Jars are hand-packed and may occasionally be slightly overfilled, resulting in a bit of butter on the lid.

Packaging

Each salve comes in a 2 ounce tin, labeled with ingredients and designed with simplicity and sustainability in mind. No inner seals, no excess plastic — just 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.
