Ingredient list: Herbal Infused Olive Oil (1:5)(Olive Oil, Eucalyptus Leaf, Calendula Flowers, Comfrey Root and Leaf, Plantain Leaf), Beeswax, Menthone, Essential Oil Blend (Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Tea Tree)

 

Use: Apply a small amount to improve the quality and appearance of injured skin from cuts, scrapes, irritations, or other skin injuries. 

 

This product is kinda like a catch all. If you don’t know what to put on something, put this on and it will probably help somehow. There are essential oils in here that are all antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, as well as 4 different herbs infused in oil. The herbs in this product promote healing of the skin and menthone takes away some of the pain of cuts.

 

I recommend this product to be used on cuts, bruises, dry feet, bites, and stings. Many of the herbs infused in the oil are called drawing herbs and help to draw out the stings and pain from bites. The cooling sensation also is great for itchy areas. -Jillian
