Steve's Basil Balm
New 2022 design! 2 fl oz per can
Ingredients: Cold pressed virgin olive oil, Filtered shea butter from Ghana, beeswax, Rose Hip extract, Vitamin E from organic wheat, Tulsi (Holy Basil) extract, Coconut Oil, Calendula oil
Tulsi (Holy Basil) Essential Oil: Holy Basil (Tulsi) essential oil has a sweet, pungent, clove-like, aroma, with a soft balsamic-woody undertone; especially combined with the beeswax, it also has a remarkably persistent sweetness. Ocimum sanctum, a species native to India, is considered a sacred plant. It is grown near temples and in home courtyards to invite the presence of the gods and purify the air. Among its worthy attributes, it is said that Basil opens the heart and brings harmony to the mind. Holy Basil, commonly known as Tulsi, is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine and is considered useful for the brow's energy center (or Third Eye), the chakra of intuition and soul knowledge.
Backstory: Our friend and neighbor, Steve, had radiation therapy for throat cancer that resulted in itching and flaking skin on his neck and shoulder. Recommended creams did not work so he decided to try making something which might have some therapeutic value.
Uses: Calendula and vitamin E combined with the shea butter and beeswax improve minor skin conditions like rashes and dryness, healing minor scrapes and scratches with minimal scarring. Use as hand cream, on elbows and feet, to moisturize damaged or dry skin from radiation therapy, too much hand sanitizer, or clay. Also good on lips. And the Holy Basil makes it smells wonderful without overwhelming. Being dense and firm, it is easy to use a small amount and travels well (especially in a car)
