Our vegan balm is excellent for eczema, where skin is dry, red, itchy and inflamed.  It is handmade from macerated herbs and organic plant oils and does not contain chemicals or steroids.  The plant oils we have chosen to use help to soothe and calm inflammation and gently nourish and restore skin back to being soft and supple.  We have had great feedback about our balm which does not sting unlike many creams and lotions. 

Use topically two or three times a day.  It is especially important to use after showering which can dry out the skin.   

* Chickweed is macerated in organic sunflower oil and is known for its cooling, soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that relieve itching.

* Starflower oil also known as borage oil is even higher in gamma linolenic acid (GLA) than evening primrose oil.  People with eczema often have difficulties converting linoleic acid (LA) into GLA which is needed to create prostaglandins which strengthen cell membranes and therefore the immune system.  When not enough prostaglandins are produced the skin becomes very dry and wrinkled and therefore itchy.  Topically applied GLA has a positive impact on chronic dry skin and other skin conditions.

* Calendula flowers have been macerated in organic jojoba oil. Calendula is known for its healing qualities as it has antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties that stimulate the immune system and enhance the body's fight against infection. It quickly helps skin tissue repair and minimises scar formation.

* Seabuckthorn berries have anti-inflammatory properties and are full of nutrients including vits A, K, E, C, B1, B2, folic acid, essential fatty acids and minerals.
