Balms & Oils

Natural oils have been used for millenia to sooth, heal and protect the skin. Coconut oil is used all over the Indian subcontinent to condition the hair and to moisturise the skin. In West Africa, shea butter is used in much the same way. In South America, rosehip oil and avocado oil have been used to protect and heal the skin. In Mediterranean countries, olive oil has been used as protection for the skin from the drying sun.

At Artisan, we blend natural oils, waxes and butters to make soothing and protecting balms. Each balm or oil is blended specifically for a particular purpose.
