Itch Relief

Itch Relief Balm — Shea + Calendula

Soothing, fast-acting balm made with natural ingredients to calm irritated skin, reduce itching, and support gentle healing.

Key ingredients & benefits

• Shea butter: deeply moisturizing, creates a protective barrier to lock in hydration and reduce irritation.

• Calendula oil: anti-inflammatory and healing; helps soothe red, sensitive, or broken skin.

• Beeswax: forms a breathable shield that protects and seals in active ingredients without clogging pores.

• Lavender oil: calming scent and gentle analgesic properties to reduce discomfort and promote relaxation.

• Peppermint oil: cooling, cooling tingling sensation that provides fast itch relief and reduces the urge to scratch.

• Tea tree oil: natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action to help prevent infection in minor skin irritations.

How it works The balm combines emollient shea and beeswax to restore the skin’s barrier while calendula oil supports tissue repair. Peppermint delivers immediate cooling relief; lavender soothes both skin and senses; tea tree helps keep the area clean. Together they reduce itchiness, swelling, and the compulsion to scratch.

Suggested uses

• Bug bites and mosquito bites

• Minor rashes and chafing

• Dry, itchy patches (eczema flare-ups — spot test first)

• Irritated, post-shave skin

Directions

• Clean and dry the affected area.

• Apply a pea-sized amount and gently rub until absorbed. Reapply every 4–6 hours as needed.

• For best results, store at room temperature away from direct heat.

Cautions

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and mucous membranes.

• Discontinue use if irritation or rash develops.

• Do not apply to deep or puncture wounds, animal bites, or serious burns.

• Patch test before first use, especially if sensitive to essential oils or nut-derived shea butter.

• Keep out of reach of children. Consult a physician if pregnant, nursing, or treating children under 2 years.

Typical scent and texture

• Texture: soft, balm-like — spreads smoothly and leaves a light protective film.

• Scent: herbal floral with a refreshing peppermint top note and a calming lavender base.

Small-batch tip Make in small batches and store in glass tins to preserve fragrance and potency. Adjust peppermint and tea tree levels for sensitivity — start low if making for kids or sensitive skin.
