From Farm to Lip Balm: The Making of my St. John’s Wort Infusion

There is a specific kind of magic in the transition of seasons on the farm. As the wind picks up and the air turns crisp, my focus shifts to the apothecary, specifically to one of my favorite cold-weather essentials: St. John’s Wort Soothing Lip Balm.

The Grounding Process

Making these balms is a lesson in patience. It begins long before the pouring stage, starting with the infusion of all-natural St. John’s Wort into a base of golden sweet almond oil. This slow infusion ensures that the restorative properties of the herb are fully captured. There’s something incredibly grounding about watching the oil transform, knowing exactly where every ingredient came from. The process concludes with a touch of crisp peppermint—a scent that feels like a breath of fresh winter air.

Winter’s Best Defense

I created this recipe to be a true "worker’s balm." Whether you’re out in the garden or walking through the city, the wind and cold can be brutal on delicate skin. These balms are:

• Pure & Simple: No synthetic fillers or "mystery" fragrances.
• Handmade with Love: Poured in small batches to ensure quality.
• Naturally Protective: Formulated to lock in moisture and soothe chapped lips instantly.
