Directions & Guidance
BEAUTY BALM
To cleanse and remove make-up (Oil Cleansing Method):
1. Apply Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm to face when dry, massaging thoroughly to dissolve dirt and make-up. You can take the time to pamper yourself, or do it very quickly if you’re in a hurry.
2. Run a clean flannel under comfortably hot water and hold it over your face allowing the steam to gently lift the dirt, make-up and dead skin cells.
3.Wipe away residue leaving clean, hydrated skin. Use a muslin flannel for extra exfoliation.
4. Repeat as necessary.
You don’t need a toner and you may not need to moisturise. If you do, use a very small amount of Beauty Balm as a moisturiser.
We recommend oil cleansing your face morning and night.
Do not use flannels or muslins more than twice before washing, dry them out between uses, never leave a flannel in a soggy heap as you will create a home for bacteria.
As a moisturiser:
Use sparingly, as a little goes a long way. Rub a very small amount of Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm between your fingers then apply to your face, massaging in well until it has been absorbed into the skin.
As a primer:
Use sparingly and wait a few moments before applying foundation to prevent make-up soaking into dry skin.
CALENDULA CREAM
Apply to skin as required. Use clean fingers or a spatula.
For a better calming effect apply frequently.
BOTH PRODUCTS
Easily absorbed and non greasy - if you feel greasy, you have used too much.
Non-comedogenic, suitable for facial use and eye area.
Not suitable for infants under 36 months.
Made from undiluted high-performing ingredients, you need use only very sparingly.
Not suitable for those with an allergy to the daisy or aster family, (known as a Sesquiterpene Lactone allergy).
As with all skin care products test a small area of skin and observe for 24hrs to be sure there is no reaction before applying generally. Should irritation occur discontinue use.
Storage & Shipping
Store all Lyonsleaf products in a cool dark place to preserve beneficial compounds and avoid solid products melting.
Stored properly and unopened all products will keep indefinitely. Use within 12 months of opening.
If a solid product does melt, reset it in a refrigerator. Products containing shea butter should be warmed to a liquid state and then reset quickly in a refrigerator to avoid the shea butter forming grainy lumps as it hardens.

Very much a repeat order
I use all of Lyonsleaf's creams for my skin, and that of my children. I have been using these products for years, and cannot fault them.
The beauty balm is incredibly moisturising, and brilliant for oil cleansing. I use the calendula cream in the morning and beauty balm as my night time moisturiser.

The best natural skincare
I have been using Lyonsleaf calendula cream for a few years now religiously! It's the only skincare I truly believe works for me. I use the beauty balm to take off my makeup and then the calendula as a moisturiser. I also use the zinc one for my baby as nappy cream, and the baby balm for her skin. I wouldn't use any other products now!

Will my skin react to Lyonsleaf Products
Our products are all 100% natural and free from all artificial chemicals. Because they are water free we can even avoid antimicrobial preservatives and emulsifiers. For this reason it is very unusual for anyone to react to our products at all. However some people are sensitive to essential oils, so if you are super-sensitive please choose unfragranced product options. Even less common, it is possible to be allergic to calendula and other herbs, so it is always important to do a patch test. In the unlikely event that you do have an adverse reaction, you can return your product for a full refund. We also sell samples of most products so you can try before you invest in a big pot.
Why is the pot so small?
Lyonsleaf products are water free and contain only the finest, plant oils, butters natural waxes and mineral ingredients. Most high Street products are up to 80% water, which means you need to apply them much more liberally and frequently. You will find you only need to use Lyonsleaf products very sparingly to achive good hydration that lasts all day. Products that are rich in soothing herbs can be used more frequently to achieve the best calming effect, but they still only need to be used sparingly. So these little pots go a long way, using less packaging and less transportation resources.
Are Lyonsleaf products vegan?
Much of the Lyonsleaf range is vegan, but we do use organic beeswax in some products. When it came to choosing a suitable wax, we decided it would be better for the environment to choose a farming method that promotes pollinators rather than a vegetable mono-crop that causes deforestation and loss of habitat. We only use organic beeswax as organic farming standards require farmers to have high welfare standards for Bees.
