This salve is very comforting to skin that suffers from eczema and/or psoriasis. The zinc oxide ( at 15%) helps to create a barrier on the skin that keeps wetness out and the good stuff in. This has a base of organic and unrefined oils and butters-shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, avocado oil, calendula infused jojoba wax, hemp oil, baobab oil, and the following organic essential oils-lavender, patchouli, carrot seed, palmarosa, German chamomile, and helichrysum. Every ingredient was chosen to bring optimal benefits to the skin.
