Sceach Gheal - Skin Protection Balm

A much loved balm for its protective and restorative properties.

Sceach Gheal (Hawthorn) is the traditional and Irish name given to this plant by our Irish ancestors who have used this plant ancestrally for thousands of years.

The name itself means "thorny bush" referring to the very long and visible thorns along its branches. 

A plant scientifically and traditionally known for its flavonoid and antioxidant properties, this gentle balm is ideal to help assist with the following:

• Soften rough skin patches
  
• Protect the skin against environmental damage
• Improve the skin's radiance and suppleness
• Support and restore the skins natural balance

This balm is ideal for mature and sensitive skin.

Sceach Gheal is steeped in tradition and Irish folklore. Known as the fairy tree, Sceach Gheal has been long considered a gateway to the otherworld in Irish folklore. Damaging a hawthorn is believed to bring bad luck and the tree is associated with love, fertility, and healing. 

To honour the potential of this plant, very few ingredients have been added to our balm to ensure the properties of this plant remain as pure as possible.
