Worker B Uses Only:
Raw Honey:
Honey has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that help to decrease pain and the appearance of scars, and that leads to faster wound healing. It contains flavonoids that help protect cells and inhibit histamine; a substance involved in allergic reactions. Honey creates a moist healing environment that allows skin cells to regrow across a healing wound flush with the surface of the wound, preventing scarring and deformity of the skin. Unlike other topical antiseptics, honey causes no tissue damage.
Beeswax:
Beeswax has anti-inflammatory properties and is included in formulas to treat burns and other skin conditions. Beeswax contains vitamin A, which is essential for human cell development. Beeswax is also an anti-oxidant and has some free radical-scavenging ability. Providing greater permanence on skin and lip surfaces, beeswax has emollient, soothing and softening properties and helps the skin retain moisture. Even after processing, beeswax remains a biologically active product, retaining its anti-bacterial properties. Beeswax forms a protective network on the skin’s surface, and works as a soothing and healing agent in salves designed for burns, cuts and other wounds.
Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil:
Olive oil is a great oil for skin care, especially dry skin. It makes an excellent conditioner for hair and nails. A good oil for making salves and infusions. Olive oil is rich in minerals, vitamins, proteins and essential fatty acids, especially alpha linolenic acid. Extra virgin oil contains a variety of anti-oxidants as well as an unusually high level of squalene. Olive oil contains flavonoids that help protect cells and inhibit histamine (a substance involved in allergic reactions). Olive Oil balances PH levels, contains vitamin E, and helps with eczema. Olive oil possesses oleocanthal – a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-aging compound and pain killer. An excellent softener for the skin, olive oil also has antibacterial properties and the ability to inhibit substances that lead to inflammation.
Organic Almond Oil:
Almond oil is cold pressed from the almond itself. Almond oil contains glucosides, minerals, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 D and E, and is rich in protein. Helpful to all skin types, almond oil is especially good for eczema. It helps relieve itching, soreness, dryness and inflammation caused by eczema, psoriasis, and any type of dermatitis. Good for sensitive or irritated skin. Almond oil is useful against burns and thread veins. Very lubricating, but not penetrating, almond oil is a good massage oil, protectant, and an excellent baby oil to protect the diaper area. Sweet Almond oil is a good all-purpose carrier oil; conditioning, emollient, softens and smooths skin.
Organic Avocado Oil:
Avocado oil is said to be rich in essential and trace minerals and Vitamin A. Avocado oil contains high amounts of Vitamins A, B1, B2, D, and E. Also contains amino acids, minerals, proteins, sterols, pantothenic acid, lecithin, beta carotene and other essential fatty acids. Avocado oil is highly prized to those with skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, and other skin ailments. It is highly recommended to those with sensitive, dehydrated or problem skin and other irritations that require vitamin rich oil. Good for dermal regeneration. Avocado oil easily penetrates the skin, acts as sunscreen and helps in cell regeneration. Avocado oil delays aging as it is rich in essential fatty acids and improves skin elasticity. Avocado oil’s moisturizing and skin softening properties make it a valuable addition to anti-wrinkle, anti-aging and mature skin blends.
Vitamin E:
Tocopherols (vitamin E) are a natural anti-oxidant that helps to slow the aging process by scavenging free radicals, heals, moisturizes, and protects, prevents scarring, and reduces UV exposure. We use a soy-based vitamin E; no sugar, starch, salt, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, milk, egg, shellfish, or preservatives. A vegetarian/vegan friendly vitamin.
