Beeswax Balms

Beeswax is amazing when it comes to skincare. Nutrient rich and moisturizing to the skin, beeswax products can greatly benefit you! The properties of this wonderful substance include being a naturally nourishing moisturizer, having anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-allergenic properties and being a  germicidal antioxidant. You can use beeswax in balms, salves and sunscreens. It works well with many different ingredients and softens the skin to its full potential. It does not clog the pores and people with allergies will not have a problem using beeswax.  It does not irritate the skin like commercial chemical products and enhances cell production. It provides a protective barrier on the skin, while still allowing it to breathe.

The Mayo Clinic recommends using a lip balm that contains beeswax  to reduce your chances of having chapped lips.  It contains Vitamin A and can help to repair damaged skin. Beeswax can be melted and combined with oils and butters in skincare products. Add in the amazing benefits of essential oils and herbs and you have a truly amazing product.

I make many products with beeswax and find it to be one of the most amazing substances on Earth. I have many customers report incredible results after using my foot balm for a few days. After a week many people have soothed dry cracked skin, which has plagued them for years.  If you decided to try one new thing make it a product with beeswax! Your skin will thank you:)

Why Use Natural Products?

                                                                       Herbal Skincare
                                                       The Importance of Natural Products

What you put on your skin is absorbed by your body. We believe it makes perfect sense to use products that are free of synthetic chemicals, preservatives, petroleum bases, harmful dyes and additives so that you can feel your absolute best. A healthy glow starts from a diet rich in essential fatty acids, staying hydrated, getting plenty of exercise and using natural products that promote health rather than add to a toxic overload in the body. Petroleum products block our pores and attract and hold bacteria to the skin. They are recognized as foreign to our cells, unlike organic essential oils and botanicals. Our products contain essential oils and extracts that contain minerals which our skin cells accept through our pores. By using products that contain natural organic ingredients you are promoting healthy skin. Our skin care line was created to encourage a healthy glow with delicious herbs and essential oils that leave your skin clean and organic!
