The Soothing Skin & Lips Essentials Box includes the following items:
Lavender Essential Oil & Lava Stone Diffuser Bracelet
Aromatherapy rates in the TOP 5 most requested items from cancer patients. Lavender oil is commonly used as a holistic treatment for anxiety, insomnia, and restlessness. Just one or two drops on the lava-stone bracelet post-treatment provide a lovely smell that can last for hours. The aroma-therapy is meant to help patients feel calm and relaxed. *Bracelet decorative stone colors may vary.
Calendula Soap
Calendula oil is known for its anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. This soap smells fantastic and should be gentle on tender skin.
Botanical Burn Balm
Did you know that LOTION is the #1 requested item from cancer patients? Our friends at Polish Your Parts developed this calendula infused balm specifically with cancer patients in mind. Properties in the calendula root are known to alleviate the sting in burns. The balm is easy to apply and should soothe sensitive skin, tender from surgery, chemo ports, radiation treatment or simply dry hospital air.
Lip Balm
Dry, cracked, and painful lips are a common side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Knowing cancer treatments can make even light scents unbearable, these unscented lip balms from Polish Your Parts are a great option for cancer patients. Formulated with organic and natural ingredients, Lip Lovin’ lip balms provide comforting moisture to dry and sensitive lips.
The Soothing Skin & Lips Comprehensive Box includes all of the items in Essentials PLUS these additional items:
Bergamot Essential Oil & Lava Stone Diffuser Bracelet
With both calming and uplifting abilities, Bergamot essential oil is mildly citrusy, pleasant without being overly pungent. It is commonly used to help reduce stress and tension and help with mental clarity. Just dab one or two drops onto the black lava stones on the diffuser bracelet to enjoy the benefits of this unique essential oil. *Bracelet decorative stone colors may vary.
Cuticle Oil
Cuticle oil nourishes dry, cracked skin. Made with Jojoba oil, Almond oil, Avocado oil, Vitamin E, and Peppermint Citrus Clove essential oil blend in small batches by a mother-daughter dynamic duo out of Washington state. We especially love the "pen" form factor that makes cuticle application precise and mess-free. 
Botanical Body Cream
Some cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can cause temporary changes to skin, making hands dry, slightly discolored, itchy, red and/or sore. We adore this hand cream from our friends at Polish Your Parts. This particular formula was inspired by medical field professionals who constantly wash their hands, need quick relief and are not able to wear fragrance. Knowing cancer treatments can make even light scents unbearable, this scent-free lotion offers quick absorption and a smooth velvety finish.
Why It Matters
A soothing skin and lips set brings together gentle, supportive essentials in one place—making it easier to care for these changes without having to search for solutions. It’s a thoughtful way to offer comfort, helping restore a sense of normalcy and relief in small but meaningful ways.
