Roots & Wild Healing Balm
Thank you for taking the Roots & Wild healing hand balm for a test run. This salve is formulated with the hardest working hands in mind - designed to be deeply moisturizing while also healing and soothing tired achy hands. The active ingredients are made from ingredients collected here on the farm. Calendula oil is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and has anti-inflammatory properties. The Juniper, Pine, and Ginger oil stimulates circulation and relieves muscle and joint aches. Both these oils are infused into an almond oil base. Antioxidant-rich tangerine butter increases circulation and promotes wound healing.
For product testing, please complete as many of the following as you can:
Apply the salve to your hands at least once daily or as needed for dry, achy hands.
Apply before bed, and also try applying to feet before bed (socks help to lock in the goodness. for extra silky soft feet).
Please feel free to apply anywhere else you think might benefit - I found it really great on my achy shoulder the other day!
Please use consistently for a minimum of two weeks.
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients below please let me know asap!

Moisturizing Properties
Please share your experience with this - how long did your hands feel moisturized before you needed to reapply? If you tried the nighttime feet and socks test, how did that feel?
Soothing Properties
If you had sore hands or damaged skin, did the salve help to soothe any inflammation? This might be a tough one to measure, but if you had any scrapes or similar, d you think the herbal formula helped the healing process?
Purchasing Potential
Is this something you would use again, or recommend to your friends? How much would you purchase a tin of this size for? Would you like to see size options?
Shopping and packaging
At Roots & Wild we're very conscious of the masses of packaging we as consumers use and discard. As such we look for the most sustainable options, and we love the Refillery model of retail store. Have you ever - or would you - shop from a Refillery? Do you purchase items like these primarily in local stores or online? Would you prefer a reusable or biodegradable container for a product like this? Would you like the option to add a small, reusable metal spatula to your order for ease of application of a product like this?
