We’re a family of five continuing a healing tradition started by Simcha’s great-great-grandfather, who sold handmade soaps by donkey from Jerusalem to Jericho.

Today, we craft artisanal skincare in our
Jerusalem studio—hand-pouring herbal
salves into custom tins, jars, and bottles.

Unlike conventional brands, our products are oil-based, beeswax-enriched, and infused with organic herbs, biblical oils, and ancestral wisdom.

Every salve embodies deep nourishment, not just surface hydration—bringing together Torah, tradition, and natural science for truly sacred skincare.

Yes—every batch is 100% natural, organic, and cruelty-free. We use locally grown herbs, cold-pressed Israeli olive oil, golden beeswax from Neshika, and medicinal-grade essential oils from Avaroma. Our ceramic jars are handmade by at-risk youth at Susan’s House. We never test on animals or use parabens, synthetics, or preservatives. Our skincare is designed to nourish your body the way nature intended—pure, potent, and rooted in the healing spirit of the Holy Land.

Lotions are water-based and require chemical preservatives. Our salves are oil-based and water-free, stabilized naturally with beeswax and Vitamin E. This allows for longer shelf life and deeper skin penetration. Salves are more concentrated and therapeutic—ideal for eczema, scars, rashes, dryness, and inflammation. We don’t make creams or fillers. We make real healing balms that align with your skin’s natural oils and deliver herbal medicine where it’s needed most.

Our herbal salves are slow-crafted in Jerusalem using centuries-old techniques. We infuse organic herbs like calendula, chamomile, and helichrysum into black Suri olive oil for weeks. We then blend in beeswax, butters, and biblical essential oils like frankincense and myrrh. Every tin, bottle, and jar is hand-poured with prayer and music in our home-based herbal studio. It’s natural skincare made the old way—with soul, intention, and good vibes.

Absolutely. Our Organic Baby Butter is really gentle with only 3 organic essential oils: lavendar, frankincense, and tea tree and the Happy Hand Balm is essential-oil-free and crafted for ultra-sensitive, eczema-prone, or infant skin. We only use hypoallergenic herbs and base oils your body recognizes—no harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, or petroleum byproducts. Whether for newborns, pregnant women, or those with reactive skin, our products are gentle, calming, and deeply restorative.

Never. All scents come from pure, medicinal-grade essential oils—like frankincense, myrrh, eucalyptus, and rose—not artificial chemicals. We don’t use water, so our salves don’t require synthetic preservatives. Beeswax and Vitamin E naturally preserve and stabilize each formula. Our products are pure, potent, and shelf-stable for up to two years without anything your skin can’t pronounce.

We source ingredients from trusted Israeli partners: herbs from Al Alim, beeswax from Neshika, and essential oils from Avaroma. Many of our ingredients are wild-harvested in the Jerusalem hills—lavender, sage, rosemary, and chamomile. Our ceramic jars are handcrafted by Dganit and Susan’s House. Each ingredient is chosen for purity, frequency, and integrity—so you feel a tangible connection to the Land of Israel in every jar and tin.

Our products are vegetarian but not vegan—we use ethically harvested beeswax for its healing and protective qualities. Beeswax adds hydration, structure, and a breathable barrier that locks in moisture. It also carries bee medicines like propolis and royal jelly. While plant waxes exist, beeswax is unmatched in quality, tradition, and resonance—especially in Torah-based natural medicine.

Our salves last 1–2 years or more. Since they’re oil-based and contain no water, they don’t spoil like conventional lotions. Keep them in a cool, dry place and they’ll stay fresh, aromatic, and effective. Many customers report using their jars for well over a year with no change in texture, scent, or potency.

Our best-selling product is the Herbal Family Salve—a versatile blend infused with 9 essential oils, including frankincense, myrrh, lavender, and geranium. It’s used for scars, stretch marks, burns, rashes, wrinkles, and general skin repair. Known as “the Miracle Cream,” this floral and robust salve, smells like a spa, and has become a household staple for moms, athletes, and natural healers worldwide.

Yes. Our Magic Muscle Balm is a game-changer for sore muscles, joint pain, and tension. It combines arnica, peppermint, camphor, and wintergreen for fast-acting relief. It’s favored by runners, hikers, and active parents who want an herbal, chemical-free solution to soothe inflammation and support recovery.

Yes. Organic Deep Breathe Balm is our all-natural alternative to vapor rubs—safe for both kids and adults. With eucalyptus, peppermint, cardamom, and ravintsara, it opens airways, supports lung health, and eases congestion. Just rub it on the chest, back, or feet before bed for herbal respiratory support.

Yes. Products like Organic Baby Butter, Happy Hand Balm, and Herbal Family Salve are completely safe and beloved by expecting moms and midwives. They’re essential-oil-free or use gentle herbs and are perfect for growing bellies, cracked skin, and postpartum care. Always consult your practitioner if you have specific concerns, but our products are family-friendly by design.

We use slow-infusion—herbs steeped for weeks in cold-pressed olive oil. This method extracts fat-soluble compounds like flavonoids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory agents without alcohol or heat. The result is a potent base rich in herbal medicine. Unlike quick commercial extracts, our infusions carry the full essence of the plant—creating deeper, more effective skincare.

Because we believe in undiluted plant medicine. Water-based products require preservatives and emulsifiers that can irritate the skin. Our oil-based salves are longer-lasting, more nourishing, and shelf-stable—perfect for healing, not just moisturizing. With beeswax and herbal infusions, our formulas honor tradition while delivering real results.

Beeswax creates a breathable seal over the skin that locks in moisture and blocks environmental toxins. It’s rich in vitamin A and antimicrobial agents, and carries bee-based healing elements like propolis and royal jelly. We use local golden beeswax from ethical beekeepers in Israel—making our products nourishing on both a physical and energetic level.

Never. Our products are 100% cruelty-free and tested only on willing humans—our family, friends, and loyal customers. Compassion is part of our process—from sourcing to formulating to packaging. We believe that healing shouldn’t harm, and that skincare should align with values, integrity, and kindness.

All of our salves, balms, serums, and bath boosters are handcrafted in our Jerusalem home herbalism studio. Every product is blended, poured, and packaged by our family into artisan tins, jars, or bottles. This is not white-label or mass-produced skincare—it’s handmade, heart-centered, and infused with the holiness of the Land of Israel. Occasionally for larger orders (like when Lev HaOlam orders several thousand of our products annually) we have them made in our partner's organic factory right outside the hills of Chevron.
