Hello Adriana, This ointment may benefit the skin affected by seborrheic dermatitis, however, we do not recommend applying it to the face. Have a sunny day!

Hello Ileana, Allantoin is a water-soluble ingredient. It cannot be included in oily recipes.

Hello, Do you think an addition of 2% allantoin would be beneficial in this formula or would it not make much difference? Thank you very much and have a nice week.

Hello! I prepared this recipe, St. John's wort oil has a pungent odor, like vinegar, therefore I added lavender essential oil!

Hello Joan, St. John's wort oil is a key ingredient in this soothing ointment, especially for skin affected by exema, psoriasis. Oils with somewhat similar properties include: andiroba, arnica, acai, tamanu, and saw palmetto. Note that substituting oils may affect the final color of the ointment.
