Juniper-Figtree Hand Balm

Organic Shea butter adds richness while being an occlusive agent, which allows the skin to breathe. It contains plenty of vitamin A. Jojoba oil is similar to skin’s natural oils, which is why it is absorbed easily and fast. Juniper is one of the best known traditional medicinal plants of Finland. Essential oil is made from its ripe, black berries.

Finnish Pine Wood Sourcing and Manufacturing:

The harsh climates of Finland means pine trees grow slowly. This produces a higher quality, durable and dense material.

Pine is the most common tree variety in Finland and has a very sustainable population. Hetkinen's supplier and wood is PECF certified and the sourcing can be tracked from plant to product.

No chemicals are used in Hetkinen's manufacturing process as pine is naturally antibacterial.

Vitellaria paradoxa butter, simmondsia chinensis seed oil, glycerin, tocopheryl acetate, styrax benzoin gum, juniperus communis oil, *linalool, *limonene (*essential oil component).

Each pine container is unique and has a distinct wood grain pattern. If the jar is exposed to extreme temperatures of fluctuating moisture, it may react.

Wood has a natural ability to absorb some moisture and it needs time to acclimate to new surroundings. When in a new environment, it can take a bit of time before it can fine-tune its moisture levels, and the lid might feel loose or tight to begin with.

Store in a dry place, but don't worry if you accidentally forget it somewhere damp. Once you bring it back to a dry environment, you can recycle the jar. You can burn it, compost it, or take it to a wood recycling centre.
