Ingredient
Benefits:
Wheat-germ oil for nourishment: Golden yellow with a
pleasant, grain-like smell wheat-germ oil is obtained by
cold-pressing wheat kernels. It contains high-quality plant lecithin
and large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. Its abundant levels of
vitamin B and E smooth and nourish the skin, which make it an
excellent remedy for dry skin.
Jojoba oil for rashes and inflammations: The pea-sized
seeds of this evergreen desert plant yield jojoba oil, a liquid wax
which solidifies when allowed to cool.
 The many
unsaturated fats in jojoba oil moisturize and protect the skin's
surface; the oil also deeply penetrates into the skin to keep it
supple. Jojoba has anti-inflammatory effects, bringing relief to
skin plagued by eczema or psoriasis.
Beeswax to prevent moisture loss: Unfiltered, unrefined
beeswax is obtained naturally by melting empty honeycombs. It gives
foot balms a creamy consistency and a hint of sweet honey fragrance.
Beeswax contributes to the health of the skin by coating it to
prevent dehydration. Plus, the propolis, or "bee resin" in the wax
is a mild natural antibiotic that aids healing of minor infections.
Essential oils for cold feet: Cold feet are often caused
by poor circulation. A foot balm containing the essential oils of
ginger and sage will help stimulate blood flow. Ginger oil warms the
feet, and sage oil helps reduce perspiration that makes feet clammy.
This home remedy may be the sweaty cold feet treatment that helps
you..
