BACK TO KEY INGREDIENTS
Lemon balm also known as Melissa Officinalis—a cherished herb in the mint family—is much more than a delicious tea ingredient for stress!
Used for centuries in traditional European medicine, this powerful herb offers a wide range of skin benefits thanks to its unique blend of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and antibacterial effects.
Here’s why lemon balm is a must-have for your skincare routine:
1. Natural Antioxidant Protection
Lemon balm contains potent antioxidants like caffeic acid and ferulic acid, which combat skin-damaging free radicals caused by pollution and stress. These antioxidants help prevent premature aging by neutralizing these harmful agents, keeping your skin looking fresh and youthful.
2. Boosts Circulation & Firms Skin
Creams infused with lemon balm can increase blood flow to the skin, giving you a natural, radiant glow. Plus, the tannins in lemon balm act as a gentle astringent, helping to tighten and tone your skin over time.
3. Blemish Control
Known for its antibacterial properties, lemon balm cleanses pores and helps reduce the appearance of blackheads and acne. It also has rosmarinic acid, which helps balance oil production, making it an excellent natural remedy for oily skin and acne-prone complexions.
4. Soothing & Healing Powers
With its gentle yet effective antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, lemon balm is a go-to for calming minor skin irritations, including insect bites, cuts, and grazes. Its natural healing abilities make it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.
5. Cold Sore Relief
Lemon balm is perhaps best known for its ability to soothe cold sores caused by the herpes virus (herpes labialis). As a natural antiviral agent, it helps reduce swelling, redness, and pain, speeding up the healing process.
6. Sunburn Soother
Got a little too much sun? The same antioxidants that fight aging in lemon balm also make it great for calming sunburn. Caffeic acid and ferulic acid work as anti-inflammatory agents to reduce the redness and irritation caused by UV exposure.
7. Reduces Stress too and helps with Sleep
Lemon balm is a powerhouse against stress and helps with sleep too. That’s why we include it in our Hormone Check Drops ! you’ll also find it in our Love Language Lip Bloss to help heal lips and keep them super hydrated.
