Chickweed Ointment
Chickweed Ointment
Twig Chickweed Ointment is a handmade herbal balm for dry, itchy, or irritated skin — made with freshly wildcrafted herbs when in season.
Chickweed has been used on irritated skin for a very long time, and once you've tried it, you'll understand why it is so wonderful.
This ointment is made with three traditionally used skin herbs — chickweed, plantain, and calendula — infused slowly into organic olive oil, then set with local beeswax. When the herbs are in season, I wildcraft them fresh and make the infusions in small batches right here in Lake Macquarie.
This ointment suits people dealing with: Itchy, rashy, or reactive skin. Irritated skin that comes with itch as well as dryness.

FAQ
FAQ
Can I use this on my kids or baby?
Yes. This ointment is fragrance-free and contains no essential oils, which makes it a gentle option for young and sensitive skin. We'd always suggest a patch test before first use on a baby.
Is it okay for eczema-prone skin?
It's one of the most common reasons people reach for this one. The herbs it contains are traditionally known for their soothing properties on reactive skin. It's a soothing ointment that a lot of people find it helpful as part of their routine.
How often can I apply it?
As often as you need to. There's no upper limit - many people apply it several times a day to help with dryness.
How does this differ from the Calendula Ointment?
The chickweed ointment has a broader herb base (chickweed, plantain, and calendula) and tends to be chosen when itch is the main complaint. The Calendula Ointment is simpler — just calendula — and is the gentlest of the three, particularly good for everyday use and baby skin. See the comparison table above.
How long does a jar last?
That depends entirely on how much you use it and how many people in the house are reaching for it. A 50g jar used daily on one area might last a few weeks to a couple of months.
Does it smell like anything?
Very faintly of olive oil and beeswax with a hint of herbyness. It's not perfumed at all.
Love those ointment has really helped with my Sclerosis
My daughter recommended Twig Botanicals and gave me a Calendula Lip Balm to try. I loved it so much, I bought another one, as well as a tub of Chickweed Ointment.
I've been using the ointment on a pressure sore at the base of my spine (I live mainly sitting on my bed) and it's by far the most soothing and healing product I've used to date. Will definitely be ordering more.
Thank you so much, Twig Botanicals!
