Botanical Skin Care
Posted on 11. Feb, 2010 by Jackson Sage in Press
“I loved everything! The balm is great to put on hot spots and dry skin and my Blitz has very dry skin. It worked great on his dry spot and seemed to have really helped heal them up fast. The conditioning mist smells simply divine and the shampoo is great for my doggies. Swan got to try that out first because she seems to get into all kinds of smelly situations.”

In the Press: Calendula Article
Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by Jackson Sage in Ingredients, Press
“Calendula, also known as pot marigold, an easy-to-grow annual herb thrives in full sun to light shade. Its lovely flowers will add joy to any garden from spring to fall.
Calendula petals are known for their antiseptic and antibacterial wound healing properties, as well as for soothing and softening the skin. Calendula is in the same family as Arnica and, like Arnica, displays many of the same wound-healing properties.
Since ancient times Calendula has been used externally to treat dry, damaged skin, skin inflammations, rashes, diaper irritations burns, and varicose veins. In ancient Rome, Calendula was grown for its beauty and its ability to treat scorpion bites. Centuries later, Calendula petals were used during the Civil War to help stop bleeding and help heal injured soldiers’ wounds.
Though typically used externally, Calendula petals can be eaten and are said to stimulate bile, and reduce inflamed or ulcerated conditions. In England the petals are often cooked with spinach.
There are several methods to harness the properties of Calendula petals. A Calendula compress is an excellent way to soothe varicose veins, burns, bruises, and injuries. Crushed petals rubbed into bee stings and bug bites help relieve pain. And Calendula Oil—olive oil infused with the oil from calendula petals—can be applied to external sores and bruises, or used for a soothing massage. Tinctures—petals infused with alcohol—taken internally can help aid digestion and remedy ulcerated conditions.
Calendula’s beauty, long growing season, and many uses, make it one of our most highly valued herbs.”

Scent Hive Review
Posted on 29. Oct, 2009 by Jackson Sage in Press
“As for those dry hands you might have, check out the nurturing ingredients that await you in Jackson Sage’s Soften Up Salve Calendula Oil, St. John’s Wort Oil, Plantain Oil, Beeswax, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Lecithin (Soy Based), Seabuckthorn Berry Oil, Vitamin E, and Rosemary Oil Extract. I’ve been using it on my hands at night when they feel exceptionally dry, and if my boys were still in diapers, I’d be using it on their bottoms as well. My rough elbows will soon feel the comforting effects of Soften Up Salve and the next time I have a scar that needs healing, on it goes. This salve has a grassy, haylike scent that is also rich with a bitter cocoa-like quality. I find it compelling and warm. It melts into the skin after a few minutes, so even though I use it at night, I would never hesitate to apply it during the day before leaving the house. This too would make a nice gift for the holidays as most people are in need of a soothing balm this time of year.”
Vegan Beauty Review

“Jackson Sage makes amazing soaps that are all handmade, cold-processed and contain natural oils, butters, herbs, clay and pure essential oils. They are beautifully packaged and they smell divine. A single bar of soap just sitting on your bathroom counter will scent the entire room, eliminating the need for any type of air fresheners or plug-ins.”
