Dr. Bronner's Citrus Orange Balm
What it is
This is a concentrated balm made with organic oils and essential citrus extracts. It is designed for external use on the skin. The balm has a distinct orange scent and a smooth, solid texture at room temperature. It melts easily with body heat.
How people cook with it
People use this balm for various skin care needs. It can be applied directly to dry areas.
- Moisturizing dry skin
- Soothing rough patches
- Adding a subtle scent
- Creating a protective barrier
To use, simply warm a small amount of the balm between your fingertips until it melts. Then, gently massage it into the desired areas of your skin. It is effective on elbows, knees, hands, and feet. A little goes a long way, so start with a small dab and add more if needed. The balm absorbs into the skin, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated. It can be applied as often as necessary throughout the day.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike lotions that often contain water and can feel lighter, this balm is oil-based and more concentrated. This means it provides a richer, more emollient feel. Its solid form also means it does not contain emulsifiers often found in liquid lotions.
Who it is for
Individuals seeking a natural way to moisturize and care for their skin will find this balm useful.
How to keep the rest
Store the balm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid tightly closed to prevent contamination and maintain its consistency. If the balm is exposed to high temperatures, it may soften or melt, but it will re-solidify when cooled.
