Violet & Plantain Hand Balm
A lusciously rich moisturiser to nourish & protect dry skin areas such as the hands, delicately scented with Lavender.
Homegrown Violets & Plantain have slowly infused in NZ Hempseed oil to extract the medicinal healing properties of Violets, before being hand blended with Raw Shea Butter & local Beeswax.
Perfect as a handbalm to nourish & protect your hands or re moisturise after a day in the garden.
Violet leaf is nourishing, soothing, cooling & healing to the skin with properties that make it great for any dryness of the body (inside & out). Violet has moistening & lubricating abilities & will leave your hands feeling soft & luscious.
Plantain's nickname is 'green bandage', referring to it's excellent use as a first aid remedy for cuts and wounds. Given the shape of the leaves it can be wrapped onto the skin like a bandage. Plantain is used topically to soothe irritation & infection, to treat skin problems such as eczema and acne and to relieve itchiness and stinging sensation from bug bites and stinging nettles. Plantain is gentle, toning, soothing & moisturising. Plantain has blood clotting agents and the natural allantoin promotes cell regeneration whilst the natural silica aids tissue healing.
I've added Lavender essential oil so that you can smell yummy when using this balm.
