Almond oil
- Improves complexion and skin tone- Due to its emollient properties, almond oil has the potential to improve both complexion and skin tone.
- Treats dry skin- Almond oil has been used for centuries to treat dry skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis.
- Helps reverse sun damage- Animal studies have shown that vitamin E, one of the nutrients in almond oil, may help reduce damage to the skin caused by UV exposure.

Melissa K Swanson –
What a beautifully packaged, pampering gift! Both balms have a pleasant aroma and are deeply moisturizing without feeling heavy. My new go-to’s for dry skin and lips, and it’s fun knowing it all came from the hard work of local bees!
