Ingredients of the Serene Winter Owl Balm and its properties
The effectiveness of this balm for colds and nasal congestion is based on the synergy of its ingredients.
Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii): Nourishing and protective base.
It helps keep skin hydrated and prevents irritation in sensitive areas such as the chest or nose.
Extra virgin Calophyllum inophyllum oil: Known for its soothing and regenerative properties. Provides comfort when skin is sensitized by the cold.
Wax and olive oil esters: They allow a melting texture that facilitates application and prolongs the balsamic effect.
Arnica: Enriched with arnica to provide a calming sensation and comfort during times of winter weakness.
Synergy of essential oils: the heart of the balm
The intense aromatic effect that helps relieve the feeling of nasal congestion comes from an expert combination of essential oils:
Radiated eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata)
Traditionally used to promote clearer breathing in cases of colds or catarrh.
Scots pine and fir balsam
They provide deep forest notes that evoke pure air and a feeling of spacious breathing.
Niauli and Cajeput (Melaleuca cajeputi)
Frequently used in preparations for colds due to their penetrating and fresh aroma.
It provides an immediate feeling of freshness and clarity.
It stimulates and revitalizes, especially useful during times of fatigue associated with colds.
Hybrid lavender
It balances the mix and adds a calming nuance.
Cedar and wild camphor
They enhance the balsamic character of the product.
In addition, it contains vitamin E (tocopherol), a natural antioxidant that protects the formula.
How to use the balm in case of a cold, catarrh, or congestion?
Apply a small amount to:
- Chest
- Upper back
- Soles of the feet
