Pure Lakes Shea Butter Dry Skin Balm

Produced a stone's throw away from us by a small, family-owned company, this Pure Lakes Dry Skin Balm is a firm favourite of ours, particularly in the winter months when the harsh elements can dry out the exposed skin on our hands. Containing a whole load of organic and moisturising ingredients, this rich and easily absorbed formula is a must have for hands and other areas of dry skin. Simply warm a small amount between your fingers and gently massage onto clean skin once or twice a day.

I love to use this at the end of the day, just before bed, leaving those oils and butters to soak into my skin overnight.

Ingredients Translated:
We know that it can be a complicated task to understand what you're putting on your skin so we've tried to make things a little easier for you. Firstly, ingredients are always listed in order of volume (until you get to anything anything with less than 1% volume, which can be listed in any order)
See some Latin names in the ingredients? They're used for plant-based ingredients, so it's not always a bad thing to see long, complicated names on the label. For example, Tocopherol is the Latin name for Vitamin E which is an antioxidant used to stop cosmetics containing essential oils from spoiling. See? Not scary!

So we've translated some of the other ingredients above for you (Please note, these are general translations, if you need more information about a specific ingredient listed above you should refer to the manufacturer):
