Beeswax & Olive Oil Salve | 2 oz Tin
Details
Founded in 2018 by Kemi Pavlocak, SAVAGE BEE-CHES® is a honey and beeswax business based in San Diego, California. Pavlocak, a U.S. Navy veteran, began with land stewardship and beekeeping in rural San Diego County before developing the Old Town boutique. The business emphasizes native pollinator conservation, community education and thoughtful sourcing. Its beeswax collection brings that interest in hive materials into candles and everyday personal care.
This 2 oz beeswax salve is handmade in San Diego County and offered in seven scent or essential-oil choices. Olive oil and beeswax form the described base, with an unscented option alongside honey, vanilla, lavender and citrus-oriented versions. The source’s two-ingredient base statement does not describe all scented formulas in full.
Features
- 2 oz black tin
- Handmade in San Diego County as expressly stated by the supplier
- Seven scent or essential-oil options
Specifications
Available options are Honey, Vanilla, Lavender, Unscented, Lemongrass Essential Oil, Lemon Essential Oil and Blood Orange Essential Oil. The maker also calls the unscented version Plain & Simple in its prose. Complete ingredient declarations for each scented choice were not supplied.
The exact product text expressly states handmade in San Diego County, California. This supports supplier-stated United States manufacture for the salve. Ingredient harvesting countries and the origin of the metal tin are separate matters and are not all established by that statement.
Materials
Described base: raw beeswax and olive oil. The selected scented or essential-oil option may include additional ingredients. Full variant-specific ingredient declarations are required before the two-ingredient statement can be assigned beyond the unscented base.
Review the current label for the exact item and option before use. A base recipe does not establish the composition of a scented version, and a natural ingredient description is not an allergy-free assurance. Follow the package directions for the intended cosmetic or pet-grooming application and keep the label available for checking ingredients.
Care
Use clean, dry hands to take a small amount, warm it gently between fingers if needed and apply a thin layer according to the current package directions. Keep the lid closed between uses and store away from heat and direct sun. Protect the tin from water, dirt and other contamination.
Check the exact formula before selecting a scented option or giving the balm to someone with ingredient sensitivities. Stop use if irritation occurs. The product is described for an ordinary moisturizing routine; no medical treatment, SPF rating, hypoallergenic certification or fixed shelf life is established by the inspected supplier text.
Follow the date and storage directions on the package supplied. No exact storage temperature, after-opening period or numeric shelf life was verified for this listing. A change in softness from warm conditions does not provide enough information to establish the condition of the product.
Shipping & returns
For Beeswax & Olive Oil Salve, the vendor’s published retail shipping policy allows 3–5 business days for processing before shipment. That processing period is separate from carrier transit. The vendor selects an economical shipping method according to order size and destination, so a fixed carrier or arrival date is not promised. Its policy describes an email shipment notification with tracking once the order is ready. Check the options, charges and delivery information shown for your BuyAmerican order; the vendor’s own free-shipping promotion is not represented as a BuyAmerican offer.
This balm is a personal-care item, and the vendor’s published retail policy excludes personal-care and beauty goods from ordinary returns. The general 14-day return window should therefore not be read as a promise that this product is returnable. Inspect the parcel on receipt and report a damaged, defective or incorrect item promptly for review. Contact BuyAmerican with the order number before sending anything back; a damage review is separate from an unwanted-return request. Approved refunds are described as going to the original payment method within 10 business days after inspection and approval; bank posting can take longer. These are the vendor’s published retail terms. BuyAmerican’s order policy and the agreed supplier process must determine the handling of a BuyAmerican purchase.
