SKU: giliod_salve Categories: ,

Description

This salve is based on the Tea Tree (1%) and Gilead Salve but has added Iodine Tincture and is intended to help with minor cuts and abrasions. The amount of Iodine is moderate, as there appears to be less than the original amount (1.5%) added, and only stains skin for an hour or two. The loss of Iodine may be due to chemical reduction. The odour is that of the Balsam Poplar rather than the Iodine mostly. It seems that because this product is oil based it causes limited stinging effects, even though the Iodine is not Povidone Iodine. The small amount of alcohol present does not cause this effect either. If hypersensitive to Iodine avoid use. If the salve causes swelling, redness or inflammation avoid use. In the case of anything other than minor cuts, chaffing and abrasions see your doctor.

Ingredients: Olive And Coconut Oil, Beeswax and Vitamin E. Almond, Pumpkin Seed, Jojoba And Avocado Oil, Balsam Poplar, Tea Tree Oil and Iodine.
