Creams and Balms
Some delicious creams to soothe and moisturise, all gently scented with some of our nicest blends of essential oils. Currently we offer two hand creams, a face cream and, as an extra treat, our invigorating Peppermint foot cream.
Or try our lovely Calendula Balm, made by infusing quantities of Calendula petals (English Marigold - renowned for their soothing and healing properties) in olive oil, then adding enough beeswax to solidify the mix - that's all that's in it. It's ideal for soothing chapped hands or smoothing rough elbows and heels. We also offer a Calendula and Lavender version – we add lavender flowers to the infusion and a bit of lavender essential oil to give it a very faint lavender scent.
Calendula BalmMade with just three ingredients, this lovely rich balm is wonderful for moisturising dry skin. Calendula flowers (English marigolds) have long been favoured for their healing properties, and an infusion of these golden petals in olive oil is the basis of this balm. We then add just enough beeswax and it is poured into jars to set. This balm is unscented.
Calendula and Lavender BalmA soothing, healing balm made from olive oil and beeswax, with thousands of calendula (pot marigold) petals and lavender flowers gently infused into the olive oil. This makes a lovely, creamy balm to use on cuts and grazes and other skin conditions.
The balm has a gentle lavender scent.
