Benefits of the Balm

Shea Butter 

Shea butter doesn’t contain chemical irritants known to dry out skin, and it doesn’t clog pores. It’s appropriate for nearly any skin type. When applied to the skin, shea triggers cytokines and other inflammatory cells to slow their production. This may help minimize irritation caused by environmental factors, such as dry weather, as well as inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema. Shea tree products have been established as powerful ingredients to fight skin infections caused by fungi. While Shea butter may not be able to treat every kind of fungal infection, we know that it kills spores of the fungi that causes ringworm and athlete’s foot. Shea butter contains an estimated SPF of 3 to 4. Muscles that have been overextended can be affected by inflammation and stiffness as your body repairs muscle tissue.. Shea butter may help sore muscles in the same way it may help joint pain — by reducing inflammation. 

Beeswax

Thanks to its antibacterial agents beeswax has a long history of being used for certain skin issues. Historically this has included treating burns and wounds. Nowadays it’s used to soothe the symptoms of certain skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema (dermatitis).

Cocoa Butter

The fat in cocoa butter forms a protective barrier over skin to hold in moisture. Cocoa butter is also rich in natural plant compounds called phytochemicals. These substances may improve blood flow to the skin and slow skin aging by protecting against damage from the sun's harmful UV rays.
