Reduces inflammation: The balm calms irritated skin and reduces swelling from rashes like poison ivy, eczema, and dermatitis due to its anti-inflammatory compounds.

Moisturizes and protects dry skin: Its mucilage content provides moisture and nourishment to rough or chapped skin, forming a protective barrier.

Brightens skin tone: The presence of Vitamin C and citric acid can gently exfoliate the skin, lighten dark spots, and improve overall skin tone for a radiant glow.
