Clove Bud Essential Oil- Pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-microbial clove bud essential oil adds the perfect amount of mild spice to Muscle & Joint Balm

St John's Wort-this remarkable plant is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits helpful in calming irritated tissue, promoting even texture and leaving skin healthy and radiant.
Calendula- Perfect for every age and skin type, Calendula's soothing and nurturing qualities make it a go to addition to any skincare routine. Gentle, yet powerful this herb works magic as a protective and nourishing antioxidant to support tissue repair
Red Clover- The rich nutrient profile of red clover supports overall skin health and vitality, making it ideal for both youthful and mature skin.
