Beeswax is also non-comedogenic, meaning it allows the skin to breathe while still locking in hydration, making it suitable for most skin types. Moisturising and protective: Locks in moisture: Beeswax is a natural humectant that attracts moisture to the skin and forms a protective, breathable barrier to prevent water loss. Creates a protective shield: It protects the skin from environmental irritants, pollutants, and harsh weather, which is especially helpful in cold or windy conditions. Non-comedogenic: Despite forming a barrier, beeswax does not clog pores, making it safe for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

Promotes healing: The antibacterial qualities of beeswax can help prevent infection and support the healing of minor cuts, burns, and bruises. - Arnica is a traditional herbal remedy often used topically on unbroken skin to reduce bruising, swelling, and pain. Its potent anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties come from active compounds like helenalin and flavonoids. While it offers significant benefits, it is crucial to use arnica products with caution and only on intact skin. Benefits of arnica on skin: Reduces bruises and swelling: Arnica helps speed up the healing process of bruises by improving blood circulation and clearing away trapped blood, which minimises discoloration and inflammation. Soothes irritation and inflammation: With its powerful anti-inflammatory effects, arnica can calm and soothe irritated or inflamed skin. This can help with conditions such as eczema and rosacea, as well as minor issues like insect bites. Speeds wound healing: Arnica has been shown to support the healing of minor skin issues. Its anti-inflammatory action helps to decrease inflammation, while its antiseptic qualities can help prevent infection. Note: Do not apply arnica to open or broken skin. Relieves muscle soreness: When applied topically as a gel or cream, arnica can penetrate the skin to alleviate muscle aches and stiffness, making it popular for post-workout recovery or minor sports injuries. Treats dandruff: For scalp issues, arnica's antibacterial properties can help fight off Malassezia, a fungus that contributes to dandruff. It can be mixed with a hydrating oil to create a nourishing hair and scalp mask. Reduces puffiness: Arnica can help decrease puffiness caused by inflammation and fluid retention. For this reason, it is sometimes used as an ingredient in eye creams and face masks. Plumps and regenerates skin: Some studies suggest that certain compounds in Arnica montana flower extract may help increase the volume of fat cells beneath the skin. This can lead to a more plumped, youthful appearance and reduced wrinkles. - Olive oil can have many benefits for your skin, including: Moisturising: Olive oil can help your skin retain water and stay hydrated, making it look and feel supple. Antioxidant protection: Olive oil contains vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols, which can help protect your skin from oxidative stress and premature aging. Reduces inflammation: Olive oil can soothe and calm irritated skin, and help reduce redness. Heals wounds: A few drops of extra virgin olive oil can help wounds heal quickly. - Vitamin E can help maintain and restore moisture, help reduce redness and inflammation, and improve skin texture, making it softer and more supple.
