Winter Wellness Vapor Rub
No one likes dealing with seasonal illness and congestion, especially kids just starting to enjoy some time off school. Having a soothing Winter Wellness Vapor Rub on hand when it hits makes for a quick recovery so we can get back to all of the holiday and winter fun. Sweet almond oil, beeswax, and shea butter make a smooth, balm-likeconsistency that is easy to apply and allows the essential oils to be easily absorbed into the skin. Peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus, and lavender essential oils combine to create a soothing yet invigorating aroma that may help to break up congestion, clear the sinuses, and ease pain and inflammation.
