Organic Skin applicator “BIRCH KISSES” soothing effect, 5 ml

The soothing skin applicator is recommended for insect and bug bites or nettle stings. The mixture contains organic birch leaf and bud extracts, as well as organic pine and natural mint essential oils. The birch extracts and essential oils soothe and cool the irritated skin and reduce itching.
Birch leaf-bud extract contains many tannins, essential oils, saponins, minerals, phenolic compounds. A balanced set of active ingredients of plant origin synergistically complements each other’s properties – to suppress and soothe skin irritations. The active ingredients and essential oils of birch extract soothe and cool the irritated bite site, reducing itching. Pine essential oil has antiseptic properties and conditions the skin, and menthol, contained in mint oil, provides a cooling, stimulating, warming and refreshing effect. The reason for this paradox is the activation of blood circulation in response to the cooling effect of menthol by applying the mixture to the skin.
