Christmas Gift Inspiration... Dr PawPaw Tinted Ultimate Red Balm!!

I love this multi purpose balm by Dr PawPaw. It's a red tinted balm to ad a festive pop of colour to your lips and cheeks and it's a really lovely little product to carry around with you and it makes a perfect stocking filler. 

The Pawpaw balms are made from a variety of natural ingredients including Pawpaw, Olive Oil and Aloe Vera Oil. 

The main ingredient is fermented Pawpaw, the fruit of the plant Carica Papaya. The Pawpaw has been found to have many soothing properties for your skin.

Carica Papaya

This nutrient rich fruit is full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It contains calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, vitamins A and C and acetogenins which when applied externally, helps in aiding skin repair, adding moisture and smoothing and tightening the skin. 

Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil

Olive oil has a variety of benefits for skin, due to its vast amount of antioxidants. Olive Oil contains Vitamin A and E but the most potent compound is Hydroxytyrosol. This rare antioxidant prevents free radical damage on skin cells and is absorbed deeply into the skin. It has many anti-inflammatory properties and is really great for dry skin.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

A desert plant with amazing abilities to absorb and restore moisture. It contains more than 200 different plant constituents that promote glowing, youthful looking skin. 

It costs £6.95 for 25mls

They have the original Dr PawPaw Balm and the Tinted Peach Pink Balm available too.
