General Application Tips of Lotion Bar/Body Balm
- Apply after bathing/washing for extra hydration while water is still trapped under the skin for great effect.
- Apply liberally and frequently – as many times a day as needed.
- Apply gently in the direction of the hair growth. Never rub up and down vigorously as this could trigger itching, block hair follicles or create more heat in the skin.
- Do not leave lotion bar in high heat areas as they are heat sensitive and will melt under high temperatures. Leave at room temperature for a balm that is not too hard nor too soft for easy application.
Natural Skincare Treatment
- When introducing anything new, always start with a patch test (i.e. on a small area of skin) on your skin to see if you have any allergic reaction.
- After cleansing with our all natural soaps, dry out affected areas and coat a thin layer over the skin to protect the skin during the course of any activities/sweat.
- You can apply as often as you wish and when needed, as many times a day for protection, relief and healing.
Before bed time, apply the balm again to affected areas to keep your skin protected and moist during sleep and allow your skin to heal overnight.
- Note: For eczema treatment/children/expectant or lactating mothers, please use UNSCENTED lotion bar/body balm (avoid anything with essential oil in case of sensitivity)
Properties of Frankincense and Myrrh Essential Oils
- Acts as a disinfectant and treats wounds. Frankincense is known to be antiseptic, and help with wound healing.
- Myrrh is known to be anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic, anti-cancer, a potent anti-oxidant as well as to maintain skin health.
- Interesting facts: Both of these spices in ancient times were worth the cost of gold and often given only to dignitaries as gifts! Eg. Baby Jesus was offered these 2 spices and gold at His birth
Natural Healing Properties of Beeswax, Shea Butter, Organic Sunflower Oil
Beeswax is great for your skin
- Did you know that Beeswax provides skin with natural moisture and glow?
- Beeswax’s anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory properties soothe easily irritated skin, making it one of the best skin care ingredients for those who suffer from allergies or other skin problems like rosacea or eczema.It also helps to heal minor cuts, wounds, abrasions and even insect bites.
- Beeswax is anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic, contains Vitamin A and provides long-lasting moisturising by locking moisture into the skin. Vitamin A helps in collagen deposition under your skin, prevents wrinkles and is anti-aging.
- Unlike many balms that use petrochemicals such as petroleum jelly, our protective and healing balm and lotion bar is true to its natural source for healing and treatment.
Properties of Organic Sunflower Oil
- Organic Sunflower oil is used for its non-comedogenic rating (i.e. does not clog pores) as it allows your skin pores to breath and yet creating a protective barrier. It therefore is great as a balm that protects dust, dirt, sweat and bacteria from entering under any broken/damaged skin.
- The main ingredient of Organic Sunflower oil in this balm contains Oleic acid (Omega-9) and linoleic acid (Omega-6 fatty acid) which is one of the main components required to form the fatty membranes (or lipids) that keep our skin moist and supple. It is essential for a protective permeability barrier for the skin! Our body does not produce that so the best way is to have it in your skincare!
- Organic, GMO-Free Sunflower oil means it contains NO pesticides or fumigation have been used on our ingredient which means no pesticides, so no toxic chemicals go onto your skin!
Shea Butter
- Highly moisturising Shea Butter helps dry or cracked rough skin smoothen and recover naturally.
- It is an amazing oil to use during the cold, dry winter months.
- It’s heavy on the skin after applying so you only need the tiniest bit.
- Forms a protective barrier on the skin and reduces inflammation, due to the oleic, stearic, palmitic and linoleic acids (fatty-acids) to protect and nourish skin to reduce wrinkles.
- Aids in the skin’s natural collagen production that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying and premature aging.

The Frank & Myrrh balm was definately a MUST for my hyper sensitive skin, it was handy and the scent was awesome but most importantly my redness and itch subsided within a few minutes after i applied.
