Alberta's weather means dry cracked skin, especially for our hardworking hands. The Forager Tallow Salve works wonders for areas of dry skin.
The Forager is a combo of Plantain, Chickweed, Spruce Tips and Yarrow, slow-infused in our tallow. Combined with Jojoba Oil and the magic ingredient: sweet-smelling Beeswax.

We’ve selected elements that we have the ability to source local to Alberta. The Forager is special because the yarrow and spruce tips are foraged on the lands we call home in Central Alberta.
• Jojoba Oil - this "oil" is technically a liquid plant wax and is often used to soothe dry, chapped skin.
• Grass-fed beef tallow is a great moisturizer as it closely resembles the skin's cell structure, helping to retain the skin's natural moisture barriers.
• Beeswax -
We are obsessed with the sweet smelling, cappings wax from our friends at Gull Lake Honey. Beeswax helps protect skin, and seals in moisture.
• Chickweed - this “weed” is actually an edible medicinal herb with rich mineral content. For skincare, it is often used to soothe sore skin.
• Plantain -Plantain has been used for centuries as a wound-healer by chewing up the leaves and making a poultice to put on bites or stings. Its uses are diverse and we love it for its varied applications.
• Spruce Tips -These are the bright green, citrusy-sweet smelling new growth on spruce trees in the spring. Spruce tips can be eaten fresh, made into tea and are rich in Vitamin C. Spruce tips have been shown to be helpful for skin regeneration.
• Yarrow - Sprinkled across the pastures of Alberta, yarrow has so many benefits. Yarrow is helpful for restoring moisture to the skin.

I have so much love for The Forager and use it on alot of things. Cuts, scrapes, burns, bug bites... anything that requires gentle yet effective care. This amazing salve is exactly that. It's soothing and powerful and a indispensable staple in my first-aid kit. Recently, I developed a chalazion on my eyelid and after warm compresses everyday twice a day and massaging the lid with The Forager, the cyst is drastically reduced. Not only that, but it hardly formed a lump at all! If you've ever had the misfortune of developing a chalazion, you know just how large and painful they can get and how difficult they can be to get rid of without surgery. Between the warm compresses and this amazing salve, I'm able to head off on my Euro summer holiday without a huge obtrusive bump on my eyelid. Yay! (and yes, the salve will definitely be coming with in my carry on. Wouldn't travel without it!)
My baby girl has very dry patches on her arms and this helped so much! I also use it on her diaper area if she's irritated and it takes it right away!
My sugarist has recently began selling these tallow salves and whips and recommended I use the salve where I'm getting sugared to help reduce ingrown hairs and inflammation. First of all, the smells of all the products are amazing. I had tried a bit of each of the whips/salves and they all feel incredibly moisturizing. I'm very impressed with this lil company and I'm hoping ya'll the the attention you deserve! The product is so inexpensive, will last a long time, it feels and smells luxurious, and the packaging is the stunning. 10/10 so impressed, thank you!!!
My son had H&F in the summer and got blisters on top of his lips and they just weren’t going away. Finally I grabbed the forager and placed some on his lip at night and no word of a lie the next day they were almost completely gone!!! Wow thank you for all you do :).
Love the Forager. It is my go to product to use when we get cuts, scrapes, burns, bites. Heals it up quickly. Everyone needs this in their medicine cabinet!
