USES and HOW it all started: it was the first skin product I have ever made several years ago to help ease my Seborrheic dermatitis (Malassezia yeast) and eczema symptoms. I was prescribed products by a dermatologist that gave me a terrible allergic reaction so I needed something with only natural ingredients and with no parabens and sulfates. So I started experimenting with beeswax and calendula and I have seen the slight gradual improvement of my condition.

// INGREDIENTS //

// BEESWAX //
Beeswax is the wax secreted by honey bees and is used to build honeycombs. We purchased our cruelty-free beeswax from Kalamata, Greece. // (https://www.healthline.com/health/beeswax-uses#research-says )
! please note that the beeswax ointment is not vegan friendly because it contains natural organic beeswax. Beeswax balm was tested on animals; dogs only. Dogs approved.

// CALENDULA //
Calendula oil is a natural oil extracted from marigold flowers (Calendula officinalis). It has antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that might make it useful in healing wounds, soothing eczema, and relieving diaper rash.  https://www.healthline.com/health/calendula-oil

// Our Calendula oil is made by infusing marigold flowers in a carrier oil. Biological dried flowers are from Greece, with GR BIO-15 certificate. We infused calendula dried flowers in extra virgin (cold pressed) olive oil using the cold method of maceration, where the flowers are set in the oil for a period of up to eight weeks. No hot-oil infusion was used so it is a time-consuming process. //

// EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL //
Olive oil is known to moisturize and hydrate your skin. It has got anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants, as well as monosaturated fats. Olive oil may help decrease acne by killing off the bacteria. (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/11-proven-benefits-of-olive-oil)
