Dandelion
Types used: Dandelion infused oil
​
Used in: Sunshine Salve, Dandelion, Honey & Orange Soap
​
A common garden weed, Dandelions have been used for centuries in traditional medicine as both a topically- and internally- administered ingredient. Dandelion tea is made from the roots and drunk for a variety of benefits, including to support the liver and kidneys. Applied topically, Dandelions have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, and are used to soothe skin conditions ranging from acne to eczema.
​
I collect all of the Dandelions I use in my products myself. I forage sustainably in the Surrey countryside, making use of the medicinal plants which are abundantly available all around us.
