Topical salves and balms are similar such that they can contain essential oils and herbal infusions. But there are also some differences. Salves tend to be oily and have a thin consistency whereas balms tend to be thicker. Salves are normally used for moisturizing the skin and addressing specific issues of the skin whereas balms are tend to lock in moisture and act as a barrier against environmental particles and irritants.

================================
Wild-crafted Orange is usually a combination of different species of orange. The main chemical components of orange oils are limonene, β- Myrcene, α-Pinene, Citronellol, Geraniol, linalool, and Neral.
 
Organic Jasmine absolute has an exquisitely floral, uplifting aroma that is uniquely its own. Jasmine blossoms cannot be effectively steam distilled, so they are extracted by solvent to create a highly concentrated absolute. Its major constituents are Benzyl acetate, Benzyl benzoate, Phytol, Squalene 2,3-oxide, Isophytol, Phytyl acetate, Linalool, Squalene, Geranyl linalool, Indole, (Z)-Jasmone and Eugenol.
 
Organic Patchouli's aroma improves with age like a fine wine. Its aroma is rich, earthy and grounding. Its main constituents are a-Bulnesene, a-Guaiene, Seychellen, Gamma-Patchoulene, and a-Patchoulene.
 
Organic Shea Butter is highly moisturizing, has a smooth, creamy texture. It is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree. Shea butter is composed of five principal fatty acids: palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and arachidic. About 85 to 90% of the fatty acid composition is stearic and oleic acids.
 
Wild-crafted Carnauba wax is a natural, plant-based product that is made from the leaves of the Copernicia prunifera, a Brazilian palm tree. Carnauba consists mostly of aliphatic esters (40 wt%), diesters of 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (21.0 wt%), ω-hydroxycarboxylic acids (13.0 wt%), and fatty alcohols (12 wt%).
 
Organic Avocado Oil is said to be rich in essential and trace minerals and Vitamin A. Its properties and texture makes it especially suitable for use in hair care. It has a darkish green, slightly tawny colour and a slight avocado aroma. Avocado Oil contains approximately 19% saturated fat, 66% oleic acid (an omega-9 fatty acid), 12% linoleic acid (an omega-6 essential fatty acid), and less than 5% alpha linolenic acid (an omega-3 essential fatty acid).
 
Organic Coconut oil is a highly saturated oil that is traditionally made by extracting the oil from raw coconuts or dried coconut kernels. Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain fatty acids, which are a form of saturated fat. In fact, these medium-chain fatty acids make up about 65% of its total composition. The fatty acids found in coconut oil include: Lauric acid: 49%, Myristic acid: 18%, Caprylic acid: 8%, Palmitic acid: 8%, Capric acid: 7%, Oleic acid: 6%, Linoleic acid: 2%, and Stearic acid: 2%.
 
Organic Jojoba Oil is actually a wax, and not an oil. Its composition is similar to that of the skin's natural sebum (oil). Its viscosity is medium.
