Welcome to Bloom to Balm!
I'm Colette... but most people call me the Salve Lady! What started as a personal journey to find better options for my own family has turned into a whole line of herb-infused salves and natural skincare. I believe in the power of herbs and absolutely LOVE introducing people to the incredible possibilities they offer!

Plant-Powered Herbal Blends
I'm inspired by generations of herbal tradition, but also love how modern science helps us understand WHY these incredible plants have been valued for centuries! I use that knowledge to craft unique herbal blends, selecting each herb for their array of documented benefits, then turn them into an easy to use topical salve!

FREE Salve Guide!
This PDF provides a quick summary of each salve, what it does, and what it might potentially replace in your medicine cabinet! From arthritis to neuropathy, headaches to lady cramps, allergies to mood... you'll be surprised how many common issues salves can tackle! Look for the download button below, I won't even ask for your email address!
What's next?
Once you've downloaded the Salve Guide, take a look at what's already in your Medicine Cabinet. We all have a bathroom drawer or basket full of jars, bottles, and ointments that we've collected from the pharmacy aisle. Think about which ones you reach for the most. Are you grabbing something for headaches, body pain, mood, sleep, allergies, first-aid creams, cold/flu support, or belly/bowel issues?
If you are on the hunt for effective but more natural alternatives... you are in the right place!
HOW DO SALVES WORK?
When you take something orally, it has to travel through your digestive system, where stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and your liver begin breaking it down immediately.
But TOPICALS use your skin for delivery! When you massage an herb-infused salve onto your skin, you're applying oils rich in beneficial plant compounds right where you need them. Salves are a gentle option, yet can still deliver powerful results - without the menu of side effects often associated with orals.

Let customers speak for us
from 1551 reviewsLotion is literally and silky feeling and smells clean and fresh. Eucalyptus fragrances are my favorite and this did not disappoint. Will certainly be added to my favorites.
Bones and Joints has certainly lessened my constant knee pain. It has not fixed it, but it has helped a bit with stiffness and mobility. And it is very nice not to have achy pain all the time.
This is wonderful. It works so well to open nasal passages and allow me to freely breathe. It actually helps me sleep better.
A soothing salve. This was a gift for an eczema sufferer.
Love the smell and it’s work great.
I absolutely love it. I had a bad fall and I was really sore and I rubbed this on and within a couple of days the soreness and swelling was gone.
Thanks to Kim, I have had the opportunity to use several of your salves and I love them!
Love this website and now I love the store!!
I have been using this every day since I bought it. Amazing stuff!! This will be something I always have in my balm bag!! Love it!!
I love these lip balms. I have them in all parts of my house, in my purse, on my treadmill, on my nightstand and in my car. I don’t want to be without them… they are wonderful!
They would make perfect gifts too!!
My teenage son has the worst acne. Seriously his whole face was red with blemishes and deep acne that would leak puss. We have tried everything with no success. The next step was Accutane which I was so hesitant to do. We came across this place while visiting Bear Lake. My friends and family have tried your other products and love them so I thought no harm in trying the acne attack. This stuff is amazing! My son's face is clearing up, acne isn't as deep!!
Love this product!
I feel like you are great to work with and I receive my products in a timely manner. I like the samples given with a certain $ amount. I have found new favorite products this way.
Love shopping here. Colette and Eric are so amazing, helpful and knowledgeable. I am sure one by one I will try every product. :)
I use this all the time and on everything. Cuts, dry skin, cuticles etc. It is a multi purpose go to.
