Miracle Body Balm

Description

Miracle Body Balm is my handmade, multi-use body balm for dry, rough and sensitive skin - a silky, mid-weight blend of shea butter, mango butter, sweet almond oil and apricot kernel oil. Choose the soft citrus floral Miracle scent, or unscented. Suitable for babies and children, and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

You don't need a specific product for every specific skincare job. I made Miracle Body Balm to simplify life - simplify cost, simplify time, simplify your bathroom and simplify waste. Massage a little in wherever you need it. It melts between your fingers, sinks in quickly and leaves skin soft without feeling greasy.

• you want one balm for hands, nails, cuticles, heels, elbows and dry patches
• your skin is very dry, rough or easily irritated, including eczema-prone or psoriasis-prone skin
• you want something gentle the whole family can use, babies and children included
• you want an unscented option for sensitive skin
• you're pregnant or breastfeeding and want something for dry skin that's suitable
• you'd like a little tin that lives in your bag for chapped cheeks, sore noses and dry lips

How to use

3. Use a tiny amount on chapped cheeks, sore noses and dry lips.

Tip: before bed, work it into hands and heels, then pop socks on.

As with any new skincare, patch test first and don't apply to broken skin. I can't claim any balm will treat eczema, psoriasis or other skin conditions - if your skin is worrying you, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

Questions

Is Miracle Body Balm greasy?
No. It's a silky, mid-weight balm that melts on contact with skin and sinks in quickly. A little goes a long way.

Scented or unscented?
The Miracle scent is a soft citrus floral of palmarosa, may chang and ylang ylang. Choose unscented for babies, very sensitive skin, or if you prefer no scent at all.

Can I use it on my face?
Yes - a tiny amount on dry patches, chapped cheeks and around the nose works well. For an everyday face moisturiser, a light cream is lighter.

Can I use it on my baby?
Yes, it's suitable for babies and children. The unscented version is the gentlest choice.

Is it suitable during pregnancy?
Yes, both versions are suitable to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Is it vegan and plastic free?
Yes - vegan, cruelty free and palm oil free, in a recyclable aluminium tin.
