Ginkgo Balm 50g

Ginkgo Coco Balm is a rich, nourishing balm built around one of the most remarkable trees on earth. Ginkgo biloba is often called a "living fossil". Its family has existed for more than 200 million years, since before the dinosaurs, and it is the last survivor of its ancient line. Ginkgo has been planted around Buddhist temples in China and Japan for centuries, and its fan-shaped leaves turn a brilliant gold each autumn. Ginkgo trees are famous for their resilience: several survived the atomic blast at Hiroshima in 1945, and they still grow there today. The leaves are naturally rich in protective plant compounds, including flavonoids and ginkgolides, which give Ginkgo its reputation as an antioxidant botanical. In this balm, Ginkgo leaves are slowly infused into pure Coconut Oil and blended with natural Beeswax. The result is a smooth, comforting balm that's lovely as a soothing massage for tired, heavy-feeling legs at the end of a long day. It also brings softness to dry hands, cracked skin and ragged cuticles.

Important Information

For external cosmetic use only. Do not swallow.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent varicose veins, poor circulation or any other medical condition.

See a doctor promptly if one leg suddenly becomes swollen, painful, warm or red, as this can be a sign of a blood clot. Do not massage the leg if this happens.

Do not massage firmly over varicose veins. Use only light, gentle strokes over those areas.

Do not apply to broken, bleeding or infected skin, or near the eyes.

Ginkgo can occasionally cause skin allergy. Patch test before first use, especially if you are sensitive to mango skin, cashew shells or poison ivy, as these can cross-react with Ginkgo.

Avoid if you are allergic to coconut or bee products. Contains Beeswax, so it is not vegan.

Stop use if redness, itching, burning or rash occurs.

Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool place, as coconut oil softens and melts in warm weather. This doesn't affect the balm.
