2. Promotes Healing: The blend of herbs and oils in the Preparedness Balm helps to speed up the healing process of wounds and cuts. It also helps to reduce scarring and promote healthy skin cell regeneration, making it a great addition to any first aid kit for minor injuries.

The Active Ingredient Is: Lomatium dissectum (LDM-100) Extract

Lomatium dissectum is a medicinal plant extract with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. This topical ingredient is provided in the Golden Salve formulation for skin applications and is delivered within a petroleum jelly base to help maintain moisture at the skin surface.

This form is coarse in extract terms and is used in a topical salve to support skin contact with the healing environment and barrier protection.

What Does Lomatium dissectum Do?

Lomatium dissectum exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. It may support the skin’s natural defences and, in preclinical contexts, could be associated with facilitating faster wound healing when used topically.

The mechanism is described in ethnobotanical literature as disrupting microbial membranes and modulating local immune responses, which aligns with its traditional topical use in skin care.
