Question 1

Do Merry Jen's salves contain CBD?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our salves are made with organic hemp extract, which naturally contains CBD along with other beneficial cannabinoids from the hemp plant. It is blended into the same base our customers have always loved — organic infused coconut oil, beeswax, lavender oil, and vitamin E.

Question 2

What kind of hemp is in your salves?

Accepted Answer

We use organic hemp extract prized for its naturally occurring cannabinoids, including CBD. Rather than a heavily processed isolate, our salves carry the plant's natural profile, blended into a rich balm of simple organic ingredients.

Question 3

Will CBD in a topical salve make me feel high?

Accepted Answer

No. CBD is non-intoxicating and does not produce the 'high' associated with THC. In a topical salve, the hemp extract works as part of the botanical formula, applied directly where you need it.

Question 4

What ingredients are in Merry Jen's natural salve?

Accepted Answer

Merry Jen's Extra Strength Miracle Salve contains just five certified organic ingredients: organic infused coconut oil, organic beeswax, organic lavender oil, organic vitamin E oil, and organic hemp extract with naturally occurring CBD. No synthetic additives, no fillers, no artificial preservatives.

Question 5

Is beeswax good for dry skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beeswax is a natural emollient that forms a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and helping to soothe dry, rough, or chapped skin. It is a key ingredient in Merry Jen's Miracle Salve and contributes to its rich, long-lasting moisturizing texture.

Question 6

What does lavender oil do for skin?

Accepted Answer

Lavender essential oil is known for its calming, soothing properties. When applied topically, it can help soothe skin irritation, support skin health, and provide a gentle, relaxing scent. It is one of the organic ingredients in Merry Jen's Miracle Salve.

Question 7

How do I choose a natural topical salve?

Accepted Answer

Look for a salve with a short, clean ingredient list you can read and recognize. Organic ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, lavender oil, and vitamin E oil are gentle, effective, and well-tolerated by most skin types. Avoid products with synthetic fillers, artificial fragrances, or preservatives you cannot identify.

Question 8

What is the best natural salve for mature skin?

Accepted Answer

A salve made with organic beeswax, coconut oil, and vitamin E oil is an excellent choice for mature skin. These ingredients are deeply moisturizing, help support the skin's natural barrier, and are gentle enough for daily use. Merry Jen's Miracle Salve is handcrafted with exactly these ingredients and is popular with customers looking for a simple, natural skin care option.

Question 9

Are there natural topical options for everyday muscle and joint comfort?
