Product
After struggling to find a good nourishing hand salve that was made in the UK, contained lanolin and actually repaired my crafty hands and cuticles, I just asked Maria from Dodgson Wood to make one.
She has come up with a fragranced salve 'Where the Marsh Mallows Grow' which has a daisies and pine fragrance. There is a fragrance-free version too.
I work with my hands all day, everyday and often find that my cuticles suffer. The hand salve has almost immediate healing powers on my poor hands. Developed for crafters that are tough on their hands, this salve is a saviour.
As if that weren't enough, these are made in Cumbria by the wonderful Maria. She also make the lip balms, shampoo bars and wool wash I use and sell.

Postage and Packaging
You can read all about P&P here.
The P&P costs applied are very transparent. No additional costs are added on, you simply pay for the cost of packaging and the cost of postage.
I don't offer free P&P because what that usually means is that the cost of P&P has been added to the cost of goods. I think it is better to assume that my customers aren't daft and would rather have transparent P&P costs than the pretence of 'Free P&P' with potentially inflated prices on the items that they are buying.
