Central Florida Green Guide

During a recent visit to the Sand Lake Farmers Market at Whole Foods in Orlando, I discovered The Beeswax Balm Company.  This local company (based in Sanford, FL) is creating quite a buzz in the natural products industry with it’s high quality body balms that sooothe and nourish using the power of bees and a few other all natural ingredients, too.

The Beeswax Balm Company’s balms are lovingly created using a handful of all natural, high-quality ingredients.  In each balm, you can find -

• Beeswax (for skin softening)
• Shea Butter (Hand pressed to contain more vitamins, with a natural SPF)
• Vitamin E (promotes healing)
• Aloe Vera (a nutrient-rich powerhouse that calms the skin)
• Cocoa Butter (the ultimate moisturizer)
• Vegetable Glycerin (emollient properties)
• Neem Oil (naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal)
• Olive Oil (great for skin)

With these all-natural ingredients, The Beeswax Balm Co. has found that their balms aren’t only great for moisturizing, they have healing properties, too.  In fact, many users claim to find relief from psoriasis, eczema, rashes, second degree burns, diaper rash and brittle fingernails.  The balms are so gentle and effective, The Beeswax Balm Co. suggess using them for small children and even your pets and horses.

The balms are rich and thick so you might be concerned about having greasy skin throughout the day.  Don’t worry.  The balm is a little rich when you first rub it into your skin, but in a matter of minutes it has completely absorbed, leaving nothing but softer skin behind.  With an eclectic array of fragrances, you’re sure to find one that suits you.  The balms include:

• Natural (fragrance-free)
• Banana-Coconut
• Lavender
• Frankincense & Myrrh
• Natural with Manuka Honey
• Manuka Honey Lip Balm with natural SPF

You can try out The Beeswax Balm Company’s healing balms at farmers markets throughout the area, including Sanford Farmer’s Market, Maitland Farmer’s Market, Sandlake Whole Foods Farmer’s Market and Lake Eola Farmer’s Market.
