About this salve: Sweet Nectar, made by Glam Gardener NYC, is a scented salve combining infused wild-harvested honeysuckle, organic olive oil, and plant-based candelilla wax. It functions as both a natural solid perfume and a healing lotion that soothes dry or irritated skin. Its scent evokes an early summer day when honeysuckle blossoms first open, releasing their signature sweet fragrance.
What is honeysuckle and where does it originate? Honeysuckle is a flowering vine that blooms across the summer months, producing sweet-smelling blossoms that are both edible and medicinal. Roughly 200 honeysuckle varieties exist worldwide, with about 20 native to North America. The variety we harvest, though, is Japanese honeysuckle - an edible, healing plant that is considered invasive in our region. It was brought to North America in the early 1800s as an ornamental plant and spreads aggressively by twining around other plants and small trees. We collect its blossoms and infuse them into oil for this product. Many of our other products likewise feature invasive-but-beneficial plants that we harvest ourselves.
What are honeysuckle's benefits? Honeysuckle has long been used for both medicinal and magical purposes. It's a staple in Chinese herbal medicine - taken internally, it has traditionally been used to reduce fever, calm inflammation, and ease headaches. Applied to the skin, it soothes and protects irritated areas, and has traditionally been used to help with rashes, eczema, and general skin inflammation. The flowers also carry antibacterial properties useful for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, and can help calm reactions from poison ivy or poison oak.
Honeysuckle in folk magic: Honeysuckle is traditionally associated with sweetness and is used to draw romance, affection, and loyalty. It's also believed to bring abundance and good fortune into the home. Additionally, its blossoms are considered a powerful aid for psychic work, divination, and intuition.
Why this salve benefits you: This honeysuckle-infused blend combines olive oil and plant-based candelilla wax to hydrate, calm, repair, and shield the skin's protective barrier. Olive oil is a gentle, non-pore-clogging moisturizer that has been used for centuries to seal in moisture, heal dryness, and support a healthy, youthful look. Together, these ingredients create a restorative salve with the fragrance of an early summer afternoon.
Olive oil and plant-based candelilla wax: These two ingredients soothe skin without clogging pores. Olive oil nourishes the skin, and only a small amount - about a fingertip's worth - is needed per application. We use candelilla wax rather than beeswax so the salve remains entirely plant-based.
Authentic, Kosher-certified essential oils, never tested on animals: We use only genuine essential oils sourced directly from plants - never synthetic fragrance oils or artificial ingredients. Our Chamomile essential oil, for example, comes from Chamomile flowers (Anthemis nobilis) via steam distillation. All our oils are Kosher-certified and cruelty-free.
How to use Glam Gardener NYC scented salves: Apply a small amount directly to the area you wish to treat. Safe for use anywhere on the body, though care should be taken around sensitive areas.
Why choose Glam Gardener scented salves: Many conventional perfumes and lotions include questionable chemicals and ingredients that can interfere with your body's natural balance. Our scented salves are made entirely from natural, organic, and wildcrafted plant ingredients, so you get the benefits without the unwanted additives.
Shelf life: We don't use synthetic or chemical preservatives, yet our salves still have a long natural shelf life - generally a year or more. Each batch is made in small quantities to ensure freshness. A helpful tip: if an oil or oil-based product goes rancid, it will develop a smell similar to crayons - a useful way to check freshness.
Disclaimers: Avoid use if you're allergic to any listed ingredients. We recommend a patch test before regular use - apply a small amount to your skin first to check for sensitivity.
