Wound Salve is an all-natural, herbal, topical salve in a white beeswax base. It includes tea tree oil as well as many special herbs, flower essences, and natural topical antiseptics. Each batch is made by hand by extracting herbs, creating colloids, emulsifying and blending it all together in an earthy suspension with a delightfully earthy scent.
Healing “Carriers”
We carefully selected a combination of nature-derived oils and waxes that each have their own healing benefits while creating a smooth texture and moisturizing application: Olive Oil, Beeswax, Castor Oil, and Cocoa Butter. Many companies have successfully marketed these oils separately as the sole ingredient in their healing products and Dynamite uses all of them!

Additional “Natural Magic”
Honey Bee Pollen – Bee pollen can be used topically to speed up the healing process, especially useful as a home remedy for burn relief. The pollen includes kaempferol, which inhibits the activity of enzymes after a burn and decreases inflammatory reactions and swelling. Pollen helps improve blood circulation in the vessels, and it moistens the skin. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic action of flavonoids in bee pollen helps relieve pain and prevent platelet aggregation. Pollen also helps prevent infection because of its antimicrobial activity, allowing a wound or burn to heal quickly.
Colloidal Silver (Solace) – Powerful antimicrobial agent
Sulfur (MSM) – When used topically, MSM is helpful in treating skin disorders including acne, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, dandruff, scabies, diaper rash and certain fungal infections. Scars resulting from operations and from burns also respond well to topical application. New scars can heal so perfectly that they are almost invisible. Old scars, too, can improve markedly.
Propolis (known as “bee glue”) – Pinocembrin, is a flavonoid component of propolis that acts as an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making propolis helpful in wound healing.
