Velvet Moisture Cream

Picture
I have crammed as many goodies as I possibly could into this cream to create a product for women over fifty and those who live in hot or drying climates. It contains three vegetable butters, twelve fixed oils that contain almost every vitamin your skin needs, in a base of extract of calendula, green tea and elderflower and is enriched with silk powder. The oils are quickly absorbed, leaving a thin protective layer to stop your skin losing moisture.

This is the perfect night cream to follow Satin.

If you have very fine, very dry skin, use this as a day cream and follow with Most Precious Oil at night.

Available in 100g blister packs.

FIRST AID

Green Magic

Picture
The herbs for the extractions and tinctures used in this all purpose ointment are grown organically in my garden.
The
 rich green base of this multi purpose ointment is created by extracting 16  herbs into oil over seven days. The oil is then added to beeswax and lanolin, with 7 tinctures and 11 essential oils chosen for their antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti fungal, soothing, emollient and aromatic properties.
Use Green Magic on bites, grazes, blisters, bruises, cuts, nettle, nappy and reef rash, piles, stinging tree injuries, cracked feet and nipples and to draw boils and splinters.
I have used it on chickens’ combs to cure stick fast fleas, on bald guinea pigs and injured dogs and cats with great success knowing it is a safe product.  My son swears it cures mouth ulcers and my grand children are always comforted by a dose of ‘nanna’s magic cream.’
Please note that wax based ointments are not suitable to use on burns, eczema or psoriasis or any conditions which require the skin to breathe. 

If any adverse reaction or sensitivity is noted, discontinue use and please consult a health professional for persistent or chronic conditions.

Available in  60g jars.
