St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) infused grapeseed oil: Has antibacterial and antiviral properties, and calms nerve pain. Effective on things like cold sores.
Beeswax: Used as part of the non-medicinal base of the salve, it is the base ingredient that helps the salve hold its shape, yet remain applicable.
Cocoa butter: Another non-medicinal ingredient in the salve, cocoa butter serves to soften the salve so that it can be applied, yet stay in solid form. As well as this, it is a rather effective moisturizing agent for the skin.
