Why Plantain?
Before I created our plantain balm formula, I suffered from easily inflamed and sensitive skin. I tried different face creams with natural ingredients but found them irritating. One product seemed to soothe the inflammation but left my skin dry, never penetrating the surface. I desired a clean option that deeply moisturized my skin without toxic chemicals and unwanted scents.
Then, I discovered the sweet and healing plantain plant (Plantago Major). Plantain contains allantoin, which is a skin soother that encourages cell growth and acts as an exfoliant, removing layers of dead skin. It is antibacterial, germicidal, and a powerful wound healer, making it great for preventing acne and healing scars. Because it draws out impurities, it’s a wonder for rashes, bites, and boils. It also soothes burns and heals dry, chapped skin.
I decided it would be the perfect base for a healing balm, complimented with the highest quality of a few other natural ingredients that also benefit the skin in countless ways. The plantain oil base is lovingly made by infusing organic, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil with hand-harvested plantain leaves for a minimum of six weeks for the highest potency.
This formula is the only product I use on my face, morning and night. Every time I apply it, it feels like luxurious self-care without the harmful chemicals that so many other skin products contain. I am overjoyed to share it with you and hope you fall in love with the experience of using it, and, especially, with the results.
Green Blessings!
