Skin Saver Balm | Dry Irritated Skin

Advanced Barrier Support & Cooling Comfort 

When the skin barrier becomes compromised, it loses moisture rapidly, leading to a cycle of dryness, irritation, and itching. Specific herbs can cool this localised tissue heat and support the skin’s barrier. 

Mahonia (Mahonia aquifolium): Also known as Oregon Grape, Mahonia is highly valued in medical herbalism for its rich berberine content. It functions as a topical tonic to soothe localised tissue heat, calm surface irritation, and balance skin that is prone to flaking or scaling.

Neem Leaf (Azadirachta indica): A purifying herb in traditional Ayurvedic practice, Neem is traditionally used for its  potent cooling properties and specifically for skin conditions characterised by angry redness and heat. It soothes and supports vulnerable skin from external impurities.

Sarsaparilla (Smilax ornata): Traditionally regarded as a cleansing herb, Sarsaparilla works topically to ease stubborn, long-standing dryness and calm the persistent, uncomfortable itch factor that disrupts skin health.

Liquorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra): Contains glycyrrhizin, a compound with well-researched compound that helps soothe and comfort the skin while supporting a healthy skin complexion. It noticeably reduces surface redness and comforts sensitive skin.

Tissue Regeneration & Lymphatic Clearing

Comfrey Root (Symphytum officinale): Containing naturally occurring allantoin, Comfrey is traditionally valued for its skin-soothing and conditioning properties. It supports the skin’s natural renewal processes, giving it a healthy-looking appearance and providing comfort and ease to dry itchy skin.

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica): Traditionally considered a key skin-restoring herb that assists the body’s natural collagen formation. Gotu kola supports micro-circulation to the skin’s surface, as well as the body’s natural tissue recovery process and helps maintain a firm-looking, healthy complexion. 

Calendula Flower (Calendula officinalis): A gentle, yet powerful blossom that supports healthy localised lymph flow. By supporting fluid movement and easing tissue congestion, it is highly supportive for patches prone to flaking or breakouts.

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense): A deep-rooted botanical traditionally valued for its naturally occurring plant compounds. It helps nourish and condition the skin, supporting a balanced and healthy-looking appearance.
