Homemade Natural Lip BalmNatural ingredients are so well suited to the making of lip balm and salves, well we really had to. It would be a shame not to bring together such beauties as almond oil, shea butter, castor oil for a touch of shine, softening and excellent weatherproofing. Oils you may not be familiar with yet but will surely come to love, pumpkin seed and macadamia are perfect to soothe sun and wind burn. Olive oil and olive oil squalene are both fabulous ingredients for softening and conditioning. The soy products we use in balm making are gentle to sensitive skin, rich in soya lecithins and vitamin e.Body balms and salves we love. Balms and salves are basically a lipid based formula that suspends and delivers active ingredients to the site of concern. The balm itself soothes and protects, acting as a barrier to the elements, while the herbally infused actives perform their duty as antioxidants, antibacterials, antivirals, and more, the possibilities are endless. Herbally infused oils have been treating our skin, lips and hair with excellent results for thousands of years. Calendula and comfrey balm with slippery elm is just lovely. This is a firm yellow salve produced by the slow infusion of calendula, chamomile, comfrey or allantoin, marshmallow root, and slippery elm bark into soy and pumpkin seed oil. Essential oils of geranium, lavender, tea tree and calendula help to further soothe irritation, chafing, speed healing. Menthol rosemary cold relief is a vegetable oil based jelly to rub on chest, throat, back, a wee dab under the nose for sinus trouble helps too. I have used this salve on the back of my neck and temples when I noticed a headache beginning with excellent results as well. Rosemary is widely used in cold remedy formulas because it’s such a great performer, it helps ease sinus congestion, breathing difficulties as does eucalyptus and menthol, they have a pleasant but medicinal combined scent. We have several great formulas to add to our line as soon as possible, please check back here frequently. As soon as we have these new balms formulated to our very high standards and packaged we will introduce them right here.
Soon to come… Joint pain and anti-inflammatory salve for old sports injuries, arthritis, overworked hands and sore feet. (for all the mailmen and ladies, nurses, waitresses, sports enthusiasts we know and love)
