Plantago sp. infused in Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil
Plantain—the humble wayside herb that grows beneath our feet—offers remarkable gifts for skin health and healing. This traditional herbal oil captures the drawing and soothing properties of Plantago through careful infusion in organic high oleic sunflower oil, creating a versatile remedy for your natural medicine cabinet.
About the Herb Plantain (Plantago major and P. lanceolata) has been called "the band-aid plant" for good reason. Found in herbal traditions across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, plantain is revered for its ability to draw out irritants, soothe inflammation, and support tissue repair. Its broad leaves have been applied fresh to insect bites and stings for generations, and the infused oil extends these benefits for convenient year-round use.
High Oleic Sunflower Oil Base This infusion is crafted with organic high oleic sunflower oil, prized for its exceptional stability and therapeutic properties. With approximately 80% oleic acid content, this sunflower variety resists oxidation far better than conventional sunflower oil, ensuring your herbal preparation remains fresh and potent. Its light texture absorbs readily into skin while delivering nourishing fatty acids.
