Borage Oil is one of our favourites here at Boo! It is a fantastic source of GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid). GLA helps to regenerate, firm and rejuvenate the skin's barrier function and maintain skin elasticity. Ferulic acid, an antioxidant more effective than vitamin E, aids skin repair and soothes inflammation. Tannins create a dry feeling oil, whilst calming redness. Ellagic acid supports the production of collagen, preventing its breakdown and regenerating skin cells.
Camelina Oil is grown in North Yorkshire, where the seeds are gently pressed to release their oil. It has traditionally been an important food source as a substitute for flax oil. High in vitamin E, omegas 3 and 6, camelina also makes a fabulous oil for skincare. It is quickly and easily absorbed, helping to keep your skin moisturised and elastic.
Beeswax, from right here in Somerset. It is extracted from the honeycombs once the honey has been removed. The colour of the wax varies depending on which flowers the bees have been visiting, so you may see slight colour variations in our balm due to this. The wax has a naturally sweet honey fragrance which comes through in the finished balm. Beeswax is naturally anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, making it a fabulous choice for a soothing, repairing balm. It can form an occlusive layer on the skin, helping to lock in moisture. This keeps your skin soft and supple.
Calendula has a long standing reputation as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and soothing herb. It can help heal wounds and calm itchy, dry, irritated skin. It can also help to alleviate a range of skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis.
