Description
LEMON EUCALYPTUS OUTDOOR: This is a beautyberry salve. It is not only a powerfully protective sunscreen – about 50 SPF – with 9 different sun-protective ingredients, but also keeps mosquitoes away with the majesty of that Florida native plant – the majestic beautyberry which was scientifically determined to be better than DEET! And obviously, safer! Two tinctures in one salve and multi-purpose.
Beautyberry was used by Florida crackers (cowboys) to keep mosquitoes off their horses. They’d snap a branch and put it under the saddle. About a decade ago, beautyberry was determined by scientists commissioned by the USDA to be better at repelling mosquitoes than DEET. Leaf ingredients callicarpenal & intermedeol repel fir ants and ticks and more.
Ingredients: organic unrefined olive, sesame, almond & hemp seed oils; carrot seed and organic raspberry seed oils, apricot kernel oil; essential oils of organic peppermint, lemon eucalyptus, anise & clary sage, turmeric; organic shea butter, organic calendula blossoms, grape distilled alcohol, organic beeswax
Carrot seed oil is high in antioxidants, is antifungal and antibacterial. Raspberry seed oil is rich in vitamin C – great for eczema and for rosacea, and is noncomedogenic. Secondary ingredients include aniseed oil, a sedative which calms both skin and dispositions. It is recommended for rheumatism and arthritis. The lemon eucalyptus oil – from India – is helpful in soothing aching muscles and registered with the EPA as a ‘biopesticide repellent.’
You can also use this ointment/salve to calm a sting if you’ve been bit.
Oh, and the lovely raspberry oil comes through the skin as color, gradually. As one customer put it: “gives color but not burn.”
