Some information on the ingredients we have used in our Organic Moisturising Balm with Calendula, Lavender & Shea:
Our Moisturising balm has Organic Shea Butter inside as it is said to be a humectant, an occlusive, and an emollient. The Unsaponifiable (Healing) Fraction for Shea butters is generally about 7-12% (some say as high as 17%) vs 1% or less for other seed oils. Shea butter has proven anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It is high in fatty acid and vitamin K concentration which is what helps our body heal faster when the skin has been compromised. It is easily absorbed into the skin due to its emollient properties and the moisturising effects last for hours unlike other moisturisers full of nasty chemicals. There are high levels of Vitamin E as well as vitamin A and vitamin C. These 3 antioxidant vitamins work together to increase the overall efficacy of each vitamin when applied to the skin. Our skin produces the same moisturisers found in shea butter by our sebaceous glands, no wonder why it’s called "The Tree of Life" and was a must in our formula!
Organic Coconut oil as it has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Coconut oil is mainly composed of healthy fats, it contains cleansing, healing and moisturising properties. When coconut oil is absorbed into the skin, it disrupts the natural environment for microbes that trigger skin conditions. Coconut oil has healing properties as it has antiseptic properties which speeds up the healing process (emollient & occlusive).
Calendula oil as it has anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Calendula has been shown to prevent dermatitis or skin inflammation in breast cancer patients receiving radiation treatment! It has tissue regenerative properties, moisturising, antioxidant and anti fungal properties.
Lavender oil as it is good for regulating the production of sebum; it also acts as an antiseptic as it has antiseptic properties and healing properties as well as anti-inflammatory properties. Lavender has the ability to heal broken skin through stimulating cell renewal. It also prevents the skin from becoming itchy and dry.
Jojoba oil as it naturally contains a balance of vitamins A, D and E which are known as skin healing vitamins. Jojoba is naturally rich in natural Vitamin A, and unlike synthetic formulas, is safe through pregnancy, for babies and adults. It has Essential fatty acids omega 6 and 9 which help to regenerate skin cells and repair damaged skin tissue. It has powerful antioxidant properties that penetrate down to the skin matrix level (humectant & emollient). Jojoba Oil is an excellent moisturiser and this is because it mimic's the skins sebum. We combined Jojoba oil with all our other ingredients so it can deeply penetrate all the goodness into the skin.
When Beeswax is applied on the skin, it forms a natural protective barrier around it, protecting it from certain environmental nasties and locking in essential moisture. Beeswax attracts moisture and allows your skin to absorb essential water molecules, keeping your skin fresh and hydrated (emollient & occlusive). It has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and healing properties as well as being high in vitamin A. It is hypoallergenic and moisturising which is why we combined beeswax with other oils to be able to seal and deeply penetrate into the depths of the skin.
