Cold Days
Natural balm with warming and relaxing effects
Sometimes each of us needs help lifting a weight off our chest. Sometimes a simple hug is enough, and other times our balm Cold Days with a concentrated blend of herbs and essential oils can help you breathe freely again.
It contains natural camphor, thyme macerate, and a blend of essential oils – pine, mint, eucalyptus, and thyme, which are known for their antibacterial, circulation-boosting, and soothing effects. The herbs are mixed in a base of organic shea butter and sunflower oil, which soften and regenerate the skin, helping to absorb the active ingredients when applied to the chest, back, temples, or the bridge of the nose.
Warning: The balm is very concentrated, and only a small amount is needed. Avoid contact with eyes and damaged skin.
Volume: 40 ml
In case of allergic reaction, discontinue use. Avoid contact with eyes, rinse with water in case of contact.

Maceration, or steeping, is a process through which active substances and fragrances contained in herbs (or other ingredients) are released directly into a carrier medium, which can be:
- oil – a macerate is created, the steeping occurs cold in a closed container for a minimum of 3 weeks,
- alcohol – a tincture is produced, most commonly used in herbal medicine,
- water – an infusion is created, or in the case of heating, which accelerates the maceration process, it is a decoction.
These resulting products can be used either alone or as an additive. At Almara Soap, herbal macerates and decoctions are utilized in the preparation of some natural soaps and cosmetics. This process ensures that the final product contains the maximum amount of active ingredients, which transfer directly from the carefully selected herbs.
