Good to know

How long does a tin last?

Opened, about a year. Keep it out of the sun and it may well last longer.

Is there anything without beeswax?

The face and foot oils have none. A plant-wax hand balm is on its way in the spring.

A tin for every pocket

The lip balm and the hand balm travel together in our small gift box.
