The many forms of Elderberry 🍇 - syrup, tincture, gummies, oh my!

Elderberry has been used for generations as a daily immune ally. At Mill Slough Apothecary, we harvest the cymes (or clusters of berries) ourselves, and prepare them slowly, in small batches, honoring both tradition and potency.

Elderberry is a great daily immune support and becomes a winter staple in the winter season. All forms are safe for kids.
The main difference is the herbal benefit based on the substrate used. The other difference is flavor preference.

🍃 Tinctures are alcohol based and will extract the maximum potency from the herb. This is the most concentrated version with an earthy-berry taste. You can dilute in water as needed. *Note that tinctures actually have less alcohol than what’s naturally in a very ripe banana or what your body can produce during normal digestion*

🍃 Oxymels are apple cider vinegar and honey based, with other spice flavors incorporated such as cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and orange. This is a sweet-tart taste and makes a great addition to tea or a mocktail

🍃 Syrups are naturally sweetened with honey and include cinnamon, cloves, and ginger root.

Elderberry Respiratory Essence (elderberry + mullein in one tincture) - 1oz $15, 2oz $25, 4oz $44

✨ Why Tallow Is Exceptional for Skin

Tallow is one of the most skin-compatible moisturizers nature offers.

✔ Deeply nourishing
Rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K, tallow supports soft, supple-feeling skin without synthetic additives.

✔ Mimics your skin’s natural oils
Tallow’s fatty-acid profile is similar to human sebum, allowing it to absorb easily and moisturize without clogging pores.

✔ Strengthens the skin barrier
Helps lock in moisture and protect against dryness, irritation, and environmental stressors.

✔ Gentle for sensitive skin
Free from synthetic fragrances, fillers, and harsh preservatives — ideal for delicate, reactive, or compromised skin.

✔ Long-lasting hydration
Creates a breathable protective layer that keeps skin moisturized far longer than water-based lotions.

✔ Supports skin renewal
Naturally occurring nutrients help skin look smooth, balanced, and resilient.

Mullein Chest Rub ✨
This soothing mullein-infused chest rub is crafted to support deep, easy breathing and gentle respiratory comfort. Mullein has long been loved for calming the lungs, easing congestion, and supporting the body during seasonal discomfort. I’ve infused wildy harvested organic mullein in jojoba for 6 weeks to gain the maximum benefits from the herb.

Blended with select essential oils this rub adds a refreshing combination of eucalyptus, peppermint, and cardamom to help open the airways, promote clarity, and encourage relaxed breathing.

Massage onto the chest, back, or bottoms of the feet as part of your daily wellness ritual—especially during cold season or when your lungs need a little extra love. 🌿
Limited quantity, small batch made.
2oz. $15 - message to order.
