Hand and body balm:
Ingredients: calendula-grown in my garden-chamomile and lavender infused into jojoba oil, candelilila wax, and vitamin e oil.
Calendula is known for anti inflammatory, healing, anti microbial and soothing properties.
Chamomile has similar properties as well, in addition to antioxidants.
Lavender has similar properties as calendula and chamomile in addition to being antiseptic.
Candelilla wax is a vegan alternative to beeswax. It is made from the leaves of the candelilla shrub. It has a slight nutty/woody scent. Has a nice feel on the skin.
Jojoba oil mimics skin sebum and is lightweight, absorbs quickly and not greasy. Does not clog pores.
Vitamin e oil has antioxidant properties. Helps with reducing signs of aging and treating certain skin conditions.
All purpose balm:
Ingredients: jojoba oil infused with chamomile, sunflower oil infused with calendula, locally sourced beeswax, turmeric powder and vitamin E oil.
Sunflower oil helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier, does not clog pores and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Rich in oleic acid and vitamin E.
Beeswax acts as a humectant and an emollient, locks in hydration. I source my beeswax locally in Marana Arizona.
Turmeric powder was used in this mainly to enhance the color. It does have anti inflammatory properties and brightens and improves skin tone.
