Desert Silk Calendula Lip Balm .15oz

Jojoba Oil  

It is argued that jojoba oil “tricks” the skin into stopping the production of sebum through somehow mimicking it. This also means that jojoba oil will assist in breaking down sebum in plugged-up pores. Sebum and jojoba oil mixes readily without sealing off skin pores. Jojoba oil will not cause blackheads that contribute to acne. The skin rapidly absorbs the jojoba oil, thus pores and hair follicles remain open and can function freely. In essence, the structure of jojoba oil closely resembles that of your own skin sebum. Studies on jojoba oil at the Ben Durion University in Israel have shown that jojoba oil also relieves the symptoms of psoriases. Continued use of jojoba oil results in reducing superficial facial lines.  

Calendula  

History records that because this flower contains antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties it promotes wound healing. It was used on the battlefields where usually a plant could be found. Calendula is also extremely effective for the treatment of inflammatory conditions such as, ulcerations, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, mastitis, cysts, impetigo or other inflamed lesions. Pharmacological studies in Europe have proven that calendula flowers promote metabolism of proteins and collagen. In other words it helps to grow new, healthy cells, and minimize scaring.
