Hand & Body Balm

A gorgeous moisturising Hand & Body Balm, created with a luxurious blend of butters and oils and suitable for all-over body use. The balm melts on application to the skin so you can use sparingly for a non-greasy indulgent moisturisation. This recipe uses candelilla wax instead of beeswax, so it's suitable for vegans too.
 
The butters included in this balm have been selected for their nourishing and moisturising properties:
Cocoa Butter - known to have anti-inflammatory properties, and can relieve symptoms of various skin disorders. Because of its high content of vitamin E, it supports healthier looking skin
Shea Butter - also has anti-inflammatory properties making it an excellent solution for skin irritations caused by environmental factors such as dry weather and inflammatory skin conditions. It also possesses antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, and helps lock moisture inside the epidermis so that the skin doesn’t dry out or feel stripped of oil.
Mango Butter - has skin softening, soothing & moisturising properties, and is effective in preventing inflammation and itching caused by dry skin
Olive Oil - forms a protective seal over the surface of the skin, which then prevents any existing moisture from evaporating away. As a result, skin hydration improves. Olive oil also contains several anti-inflammatory compounds
Sweet Almond Oil - easily penetrates the skin, is very soothing and nourishing, and can relieve itchiness.
