The Wonders of Organic Body Balms
When we talk about skincare, sometimes the first thing that comes to mind is the face. For those of us who do not have day to day skin conditions, we may tend to spend a lot of time and energy caring for our face and give less importance to the rest of our body.
While it is true that the facial skin is more delicate, your whole body needs nourishment too. The skin on your arms and legs is exposed more often to the sun, environmental pollutants, and constant friction from our clothing. This can cause our skin to become sunburned, dehydrated, cracked, and flaky. 
Having an ultimate, multi-purpose balm in all our bags and pouches has been somewhat of a go-to for skincare emergencies. But if you haven’t been using organic balms yet, there’s a chance your body may be missing out on much-needed all natural nutrients that are key elements in organic ingredients.
What is an organic body balm?
Organic body balms are a fantastic way to feed your skin and keep it looking and feeling like a million bucks. They work like moisturizers that help hydrate, nourish, and protect the skin but with a unique formulation and texture.
This type of balm is typically made with a mix of powerful fruit and vegetable carrier oils, waxes, and butter in order to transform your skin without harsh chemicals. 
Nutrient-dense natural ingredients that are present in organic body balms are rich in vitamins and minerals your skin needs to heal from the inside out. They act as a natural hydrating agent that penetrates through the surface of the skin.
You may find that the majority of 100% organic body balms are free from alcohol, water, silicone, parabens, and mineral oils. Additionally, they more often than not, avoid toxic, synthetic, or any artificial ingredients.
Organic body balms are better for sensitive and eczema-prone skin
Looking for new skincare and experimenting with which one works the best for you can be challenging, especially to those who have sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Conventional body balms can actually cause more harm than good for those with skin conditions.
How? Imagine your skin as if it were your stomach; eating processed food full of preservatives and artificial ingredients. Not only would you miss out on all the nutrients to maintain optimal health, but you would damage and kill the positive bacteria that help to absorb nutrients.
The same thing with skin. If you are using conventional body balms with a ton of preservatives and fragrances, you are going to damage your skin’s microflora which will impair your skin function and have the worst impact on skin quality and appearance.
When it comes to finding an organic balm for sensitive skin, be sure to do your research. There are many so-called “organic” and “natural” body balms on the market that are stuffed with cheap preservatives, annoying chemicals, and worthless fillers that can honestly create greater problems for your skin.
