Lotus Body Balm

Description

Autumn collection. My Miracle Body Balm, in the Lotus blend.

This is the tin for the bits of you that feel the weather first. Hands after a week of cold mornings. Heels that have done a summer in sandals. Elbows, knees, cuticles, cheeks after a windy walk on the moor.

It's a silky, mid-weight balm made with shea butter, mango butter, blackcurrant seed oil and apricot kernel oil, set with plant-based candelilla wax. It melts on contact with warm skin and absorbs far faster than you'd expect from a balm - so you can use it and carry on with your day.

Scented with my Lotus blend - clary sage, bergamot, ylang ylang, sweet orange and Roman chamomile. I like a tiny amount pressed into my wrists before bed, a slow breath in, and that's the day done.

Lotus is about renewal - the flower that rises out of muddy water and blooms anyway. Autumn always feels like the right time for it.

Key Ingredients

• Shea and mango butters - rich, softening butters for dry, rough patches
• Blackcurrant seed oil - rich in omega fatty acids, it helps skin feel soft and comfortable
• Apricot kernel oil - light and silky, it helps the balm glide on
• Candelilla wax - a plant wax that gives the balm its body, no beeswax needed

How to use

• Warm a small amount between your fingertips until it melts
• Massage into dry hands, cuticles, elbows, knees and heels
• Use a little on cheeks and the sides of your nose when the wind has had a go at them
• Press into wrists and temples as part of a calming evening routine
• A little goes a long way - one 60g tin lasts a long time
