100ml, homegrown, pesticide-free
This ointment is infused with the leaves of the loquat tree (Eriobotrya japonica), a plant recognised in scientific literature for its rich content of natural triterpenoid compounds.
Peer-reviewed research (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017) found that these compounds may help support skin health through multiple pathways. In laboratory studies, triterpenoids from loquat leaves were shown to:
- • Reduce acne-associated bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes)
- Calm visible redness and irritation by moderating inflammatory responses•
- Support collagen and hyaluronic acid production, which are key to maintaining skin firmness and hydration, important in aging skin.
- Contained high amounts of Triterpenoids such as ursolic and maslinic acid
Blended with olive oil and beeswax, this ointment forms a smooth, protective barrier that locks in moisture while allowing the skin to breathe. Each batch is slowly handcrafted, preserving the integrity of the plant compounds and celebrating the quiet science of nature.
This formulation is ideal for those seeking to nourish the skin with ingredients supported by both tradition and emerging research, a bridge between herbal wisdom and modern understanding.
Ingredients: Loquat infused oliveoil, beeswax. May contain traces of sweet almond oil, yarrow and calendula.
