This
is all purpose is awesome for many types of skin afflictions as
mentioned in the link above. The scent is absinthe inspired blend of the
essential oils juniper, melissa, aniseed & sweet fennel. The scent
is light but definitely present.
Coconut oil
has anti-aging properties & is very beneficial for many diseases of
the skin such as: acne, eczema, stretch marks, & psoriasis.
"Coconut oil is a great skin softener and helps you do away with a dry
and hard skin"
Grapeseed oil
is high in antioxidants which help keep free radicals from damaging
skin. "The flavanoids contained in grapeseed oil can inhibit allergic
reactions, and may help with fighting skin problems such as eczema or
psoriasis. It also penetrates the skin quickly and has almost no odor,
and is therefore usually non-irritating."
Beeswax
is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial & antiviral making it an
excellent skin healer. beeswax is not only an emollient but humectant as
well, "drawing moisture to the skin and sealing it in". It also creates
a protective barrier on the skin.
Olive oil moisturizes
& also contains high levels of anti-oxidants, make it beneficial
for those whose skin is in need of healing - stretch marks, loose skin
& scars for example.
Jojoba oil "hydrates the skin... while it provides nutrients. In
addition to providing a protective coating on the skin to...it also helps to reduce and to prevent
wrinkles and stretch marks."
All of these oils are also beneficial to hair in much the same manner.

showering or shaving to moisturize. Use as a hand or foot cream to help
heal dry, cracked skin. Can be used on the face before bed to help keep
skin soft and to deter wrinkles. Helps fade scars and stretch marks.
