Beauty Balm

As a cleanser:

1. Apply Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm to face when dry, massaging thoroughly to dissolve dirt and make-up. You can take the time to pamper yourself, or do it very quickly if you’re in a hurry.
2. Run a clean flannel under comfortably hot water and hold it over your face allowing the steam to gently lift the dirt, make-up and dead skin cells.
3. Wipe away residue leaving clean, hydrated skin. Use a muslin flannel for extra exfoliation.
4. Repeat as necessary.

You don’t necessarily need a toner and you may not need to moisturise. If you do, use a small amount of Beauty Balm as a moisturiser.

We recommend oil cleansing your face morning and night. Where possible use a clean cloth for every cleanse. If you do need to reuse cloths dry them out between uses.
 Never leave a cloth in a soggy heap, it will become a home to harmful bacteria.

As a moisturiser:

Use sparingly, as a little goes a long way. Rub a small amount of Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm between your fingers then apply to your face, massaging in well until it has been absorbed into the skin.
 

As a primer

When using under foundation apply very sparingly and allow a few moments to absorb before applying make-up over the top. Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm will plump skin and prevent foundation from absorbing into very dry skin.
 

For dry patches:

Apply to any dry or chapped areas as required, such as lips, elbows or heels. For stubborn dry or rough patches use Calendula and Marshmallow Balm.

Zinc and Calendula Cream

Apply to skin as required up to 6 times a day. Should skin become dry reduce or stop using the Zinc and Calendula Cream or alternate with Calendula and Marshmallow Balm. 

Other products

Apply to skin as required up to 6 times a day

All products

• May contain traces of nut oil 
• Not suitable for those with an allergy to the daisy or aster family, (known as a Sesquiterpene Lactone allergy).
• Should irritation occur discontinue use. As with all skin care products test a small area of skin and observe for 24hrs to be sure there is no reaction before applying generally.
• Not suitable for use on broken skin of infants under three years or those with a compromised immune system. Lyonsleaf products do not contain antimicrobial preservatives to kill bacteria that may enter the jar. Do not apply to wounds susceptible to infection.
  

It is not recommended to use any skincare products on babies under four weeks unless there is a medical problem (because the outer layer of their skin is not yet formed). Our products are certified as cosmetic products and so are not treatments for medical problems. However, the Zinc and Calendula Cream is deemed useful for nappy rash (a medical issue) because it will hydrate, soothe and repel moisture from the skin. It is therefore certified safe for babies under four weeks (we still recommend only using it if there is a problem that needs addressing). The Calendula and Marshmallow Balm is certified as a soothing moisturiser (cosmetic) therefore this product is only certified safe for babies over four weeks.

Beauty Balm and Calendula Cream only

• For external use only.
• Not suitable for infants under 36 months.

Body Butter only

• For external use only - not to be used on mucous membranes, on broken skin or around the eye area.

Beauty Balm, Calendula Cream, Body Butter

These natural butters melt at body temperature which is why they glide on and absorb so beautifully. For this reason they should be stored under 25°C or they will melt! The products can be reset by placing in a refrigerator, this process (if it's a one off) will not affect the efficacy of the product but it will affect it's texture. However, repeated heating and resetting will destroy beneficial compounds.

Products may also melt if shipped to very hot climates. Please be aware, we will not replace or refund products that melt during shipping to known hot climates.

Zinc and Calendula Cream, Calendula and Marshmallow Balm

These products contain beeswax and will not melt unless they get very hot (45°C) if they do melt they can be reset in a refrigerator without the texture being affected. (Repeated heating and resetting will destroy beneficial compounds.)

All Products

UV light destroys beneficial compounds, so store it in a dark place, or at least out of direct sunlight. 

Unopened and stored in a cool dark place these products will keep indefinitely. Once opened they should be used within 12 months. Poor storage will shorten shelf life.
