“Unpeeled Body Balm has helped me stay moisturized, its non greasy and the fragrance level is just right, it's not overpowering if you are sensitive to scents.” -Tara

Unpeeled Body Balm was originally designed with Tara in mind. While battling cancer, chemo can cause side effects such as dry skin, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, pain, chemo brain, stress, anxiety and depression.

 

The natural ingredients used for the base of the balm do not have a scent. The chosen essential oils were carefully selected, taking into consideration the mentioned side effects. They were used in low percentages to avoid worsening any nausea that chemotherapy patients might be facing.

 

Many patients apply Vaseline to their skin to seal cracks. While it effectively seals the skin, it hinders the skin's ability to breathe, unlike the natural combination of sunflower seed oil and candelilla wax that we use in Unpeeled Body Balm.

Unpeeled: To borrow a few words from Plato…

                         “necessity is the mother of invention” 

I have struggled with sensitive skin all of my life. Most makeup and lotions turn my skin into a hot, fiery, red mess. With the cold dry air of winter, my skin can be very itchy. Unpeeled Body Balm has given me a natural product that moisturizes and calms my skin without irritating it.

                     When I originally started designing Unpeeled Body Balm, it was with Tara in mind, who was going through chemotherapy. In researching chemo side effects and talking with her, I realized she was battling a lot of the same skin issues I was. 

 

The natural ingredients used in the base for the Body Balm, moisturize dry, dehydrated skin and protect it from environmental elements. The base has no scent allowing the light aroma of the essential oils to shine through.

 

My favorite Body Balm is #4 (sweet orange, chamomile and frankincense). Sweet Orange provides a cheerful scent while bolstering the immune system. Moroccan Chamomile not only reduces anxiety and stress but also calms and soothes the skin. Frankincense strengthens skin, alleviates pain and combats bacteria. I use it almost every day on my face & hands. It only 

takes a dab and leaves my skin feeling satiny. One jar has lasted me over six months.

                                                                                                                                                                         -Susan

 “Unpeeled Body Balm has helped the swelling of my surgery scars go down and they no longer ache.” -Jessica

Jessica had carpal tunnel surgery on her right wrist in September and her left wrist in December. After surgeries, she started using Unpeeled Body Balm on her surgery scars. It has helped the swelling go down quicker and alleviated a lot of the irritation and itching during the healing process. It has been 3 months and her scars are almost unnoticeable. Typically it takes 6 - 18 months for surgery scars to soften and fade.
