Why Calluses Need Salve, Not Lotion

Moisture That Works as Hard as You Do

You’ve probably seen glycerin on the label of just about every lotion out there. It’s widely used because it draws moisture into the skin and helps lock it in.

But here’s what most people don’t know:
Glycerin’s performance depends on the environment.
If the air is dry, it can actually pull water from the deeper layers of your skin instead of from the air—leaving you drier than you started.

That’s not a risk we’re willing to take.

Your Body Deserves Better

You work hard. You train hard. You hydrate.
Your skin shouldn’t be stealing from itself just to feel soft for five minutes.

That’s why we created SandBar Salve—a formula built for people who use their hands and feet, and need skin that can keep up.
No fillers. No shortcuts. Just organic, hard-working ingredients that actually support skin health.

What’s Inside (And Why It Works)

We chose every ingredient in our salve with purpose—and your skin barrier in mind:

  • Calendula Oil – Soothes, heals, and fights off the gunk (bacteria, fungi, inflammation).

  • Moringa Oil – Rich in oleic acid to moisturize deeply and support your skin’s natural defenses.

  • Lavandin Oil – Relieves aches and calms irritation.

  • Tea Tree Oil – Keeps skin clean and clear with antibacterial and antifungal properties.

  • Vitamin E – Speeds healing and reduces scarring.

  • Arrowroot Flour – Gives our salve its smooth, non-greasy texture without synthetic thickeners.

File First. Then Heal.

We don’t just slap lotion on rough skin and call it care.
We file first—because exfoliated skin absorbs moisture better.
Then we seal the deal with our salve.

Because calluses aren’t a problem—they’re a feature.
They just need a little help to stay strong, smooth, and ready for more.
