Description

The bummers down under. The southern swell. The pain in the ass.

Swell Salve is a botanical salve created to comfort and support the delicate tissues around the bum when life has left things feeling tender, irritated, swollen, or just plain unhappy.

Made with traditionally used botanicals like horse chestnut, calendula, and yarrow, this rich herbal salve moisturizes delicate skin while providing a protective layer of comfort exactly where it's needed.

Whether your bottom is protesting after pregnancy, long hours sitting, travel, lifting heavy things, or simply one too many ambitious bathroom adventures, Swell Salve is here with herbal support—not judgment.

Common uses:
Comforting irritated skin around the bum
Moisturizing delicate tissues
Supporting recovery after long periods of sitting
Postpartum bottom care
Daily care for people prone to occasional discomfort
2 fl oz
