Give your skin some TLC this winter

Are you looking for an all-natural, nourishing skin treatment as we head into colder months?

Give your skin the care it needs with our Super Sensitive Skin Balm, designed to soothe and nurture delicate, painful, itchy skin.

The balm is made by hand on the farm – first, we simmer the herbs (plantain, comfrey, chamomile, yarrow, chickweed, and nettle) in sunflower oil until the oil is infused with all their natural healing goodness. The oil is then gently mixed with beeswax to produce a moisturising balm. Each of the herbs has their own special properties which are beneficial for the skin –

• Plantain contains allantoin, which is a natural antibacterial.¹https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
• Comfrey, also called “Bone Knit” helps decrease dryness and flaking of skin.²https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
• Chamomile has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.³https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
• Yarrow is an astringent that gently purifies the skin.⁴https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
• Chickweed helps to calm and comfort.⁵https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
• Nettle helps reduce irritation.⁶https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/
• Beeswax provides a protective barrier against many external factors by forming a film on the skin surface.⁷https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

3 ways to add Super Sensitive Skin Balm to your skincare routine –

1. For your face and body as an all-over nighttime moisturiser for dry, itchy, flaky skin.
2. Add a little of the balm to your Kefir Lotions to boost their moisturising power.
3. As a skin barrier for swimming – apply liberally to the delicate and sensitive skin on your face (I swim daily in a chlorinated pool and find it works brilliantly to protect from dryness and irritation).

Our Super Sensitive Skin Balm is all-natural, handmade, and free from any artificial chemicals, perfumes, dyes, phthalates, petrochemicals, or parabens. Suitable for children aged 3+.
