Hello Cristina, Due to the high content of active ingredients and especially chili extract, the use of this balm is NOT recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In the presence of young children, the balm should be kept out of the reach of children and thorough hand washing is recommended after use.

Hello. Yes, it can be used, it contains beneficial ingredients for such applications as well. We recommend replacing the chili extract with clary sage or cypress essential oil.

Hello Andreea. This conditioner is not suitable, and unfortunately we don't have a recipe formulated for such applications at the moment.

Hello, I would like to know if this recipe could be used in case of external hemorrhoids (mild form) to retract the inflammation and decrease the itching/discomfort. Is there a replacement that you recommend? Thank you.

Hello, the cosgard preservative cannot replace the antioxidant extract of rosemary, as the composition is an anhydrous one, and as for the mandarin essential oil, it can be removed, the composition will no longer benefit from its properties, or it can be replaced with another venotonic/circulatory/thermogenic essential oil.

Hello, I made a toning body oil from daisy, tamanu, jojoba and acmella oils. I'd like to add chili extract and red vine extract, resulting in a biphasic solution that I agitate before each application. Is this combination possible or are other ingredients (preservative, etc.) needed? Thank you, Alina.
