BODY BALM WITH ORGANIC COCOSHEATM
Body balm (BB) is a more concentrated formula than lotion, and can provide more intense hydration and
moisture; made without water, versus lotions, many with a high percentage of water. More dense than
body butter, a rich, creamy texture melts onto skin when applied. Nourishing skin and providing
protection with oils and butter from plants. BB may feel different than lotion, it is probably the natural
ingredients providing nourishment. Spot treatment to keep (dry or dehydrated) skin protected. BB used at
night, helps with moisture retention and restoration, wake up with fresher, softer skin. Moisturizing, antiwrinkle formula of pure, soothing COCOSHEA [cocoa butter (CB) and shea butter (SB)], occlusive, beefriendly beeswax, CoflowTM “hydrating coconut oil and TEWL reducing sunflower oil” anti-inflammatory,
circulation improving, neuroprotective Super vitamin E (40-60x higher antioxidant activity), and
nourishing jojoba oil. After sun care balm; belly balm; hand, foot, and body balm. No added fragrances,
dyes, or harsh chemicals. Antioxidant, fatty acid, vitamin-rich CB can lock in moisture, strengthen the
skin protective barrier, improve skin elasticity/texture, protect skin from environmental stressors, reduce
inflammation and promote cell regeneration, prevent damage from UV radiation, enhance skin tone and
promote evenness, and support skin healing and reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles/fine lines. SB
catechins can activate collagen synthesis and inhibit matrix metalloproteinase enzyme production.
Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant qualities, potential to repair the skin
barrier, helps with wound healing, minimizes skin aging, moisturizes and soothes skin, and demonstrated
anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing inflammatory markers and protecting skin by enhancing skin
barrier function. It brings anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting various cytokine (signaling proteins)
levels and improves skin barrier function by upregulating mRNA (molecule that carries the instructions to
make proteins) expression and also by protecting against ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation (shorter wavelength than UVA, associated with skin burning). Moisturizing, conditioning lauric acid in coconut oil can
hydrate and repair skin, and anti-inflammatory properties may reduce redness and inflammation.
Moisturizing, natural antimicrobial jojoba oil provides non-greasy moisture that absorbs into skin (see
note below), has wound healing qualities, is soothing and anti-inflammatory; has behenic, erucic, gondoic
(aka 11-eicosenoic acid), oleic, palmitic, palmitoleic, and stearic acids, vitamin B complex, and vitamin E.
Noncomedogenic, gondoic acid can be easily absorbed by skin, has emollient (protects, moisturizes, and
lubricates) qualities, helps to control oil production and prevent breakouts; leaving a glowing complexion
without the feeling of a heavy oil on skin, unclogged pores and softened stubborn blackheads. Beeswax
creates a protective barrier on the surface of skin, protecting skin from environmental irritants and harsh
weather. Noncomedogenic, beeswax enables skin to breathe freely, making it beneficial for acne-prone
and sensitive skin. Anti-inflammatory, antiseptic (can eliminate harmful microorganisms on skin) sweet
orange essential oil is ideal for skin, can increase blood flow and ability to absorb nutrients (d-limonene,
permeation enhancer and collagen degradation inhibitor), essential for healthy skin, and to look younger.
How to use: Apply to (dry) skin as necessary.
