Why using Herbal Salves and Infused Oil

🌿 How Herbs Heal & Nourish the Skin

Nature’s Original Skincare

For centuries, herbs have been used to heal wounds, calm inflammation, restore damaged skin, and protect against environmental stressors. At Dash Organics, we infuse whole, organic herbs slowly into cold-pressed oils—allowing their vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds to gently nourish the skin the way nature intended.

Unlike synthetic cosmetics that sit on the surface, herbal skincare works with the skin—supporting repair, balance, and long-term health.

🫒 Why Herbal-Infused Oils Matter

Herbs are fat-soluble, meaning their healing compounds are best extracted slowly into oils—not water.

At Dash Organics:

• Herbs are infused for weeks, not hours

• Only organic, cold-pressed oils are used

• No synthetic fragrances or fillers

• Beeswax is used to seal moisture and protect skin

This creates a salve that feeds the skin, rather than coating it.

🌿 Herbal Skincare Is Not a Trend—It’s a Return

Modern skincare often focuses on quick results. Herbal skincare focuses on lasting skin health.

When you use herbs:

• Skin learns to heal itself again

• Inflammation decreases over time

• Texture, tone, and resilience improve naturally
