Hand & Body Balms

Skin can be irritated in any number of

ways, including dryness, itching, grazing

and general soreness.

Serious skin issues need medical intervention, but everyday irritation can be resolved using natural everyday products. Soothing oils and butters are very effective in this. I use various ‘carrier’ oils with healing essential oils and beeswax or carnuba wax to hold them together, thus creating my range of balms and solid crème bars. Lemongrass is beneficial in fighting bacteria, reducing inflammation, providing antioxidants, and more. Rosemary oil contains abundant antioxidants, and offers various anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. Sweet Almond Oil helps protect the skin from damage, moisturising the face, lightening the skin, reducing inflammation, and boosting hair health among others. Jojoba Oil can help moisturise hair, prevent hair loss, reduce inflammation, prevent acne, soothe sunburn, rejuvenate the skin, eliminate dandruff, and fight free radical damage.
