The benefits of using Dei Gloria juniper cream:
Coconut butter:
Coconut butter contains high levels of antioxidants and small fatty acid molecules that penetrate deep into the skin. Its composition makes it ideal for moisturising dry, rough and wrinkled skin that lacks elasticity, while its antioxidants prevent the formation of free radicals. It can also help with various skin conditions such as acne, mycosis, keratosis, dermatitis and psoriasis, and to speed up the healing of wounds and burns.
Almond oil:
Almond oil is known for being one of the best nourishing oils. It is suitable for all skin types, including delicate baby skin. Rich in vitamins, it soothes the skin and relieves skin inflammation, reducing itching and irritation caused by dermatitis, psoriasis or eczema. Almond oil cleanses, softens and promotes the repair of dry, irritated or cracked skin, as well as protects the skin from harmful factors (antioxidative vitamins A and E). It also increases elasticity and revitalises, nourishes and moisturises dry skin on the knees, heels and elbows. Since biblical times, almond oil has been highly valued and widely used for medicinal, nutritional and cosmetic purposes.
Sunflower oil:
Sunflower oil is extremely rich in vitamin E, containing a larger amount in comparison to almond oil or shea butter. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from sun damage and from drying out, smoothes the complexion and prevents the formation of wrinkles. In addition to vitamin E, sunflower oil also contains vitamins A, C and D, as well as beta-carotene – essential ingredients for beautiful and healthy skin. In fact, it is truly underrated among oils, as it is sunflower oil that absorbs most easily into the skin, hydrating it deeply without leaving a greasy layer that clogs the pores and prevents the skin from breathing. It is therefore ideal for all skin types.
Beeswax:
Beeswax is a type of animal wax produced by honey bees of the species Apis mellifera in their wax glands. Its main ingredients are esters of saturated fatty acids, free fatty acids, aliphatic hydrocarbons and colourants, aromatic substances, minerals and an abundance of vitamin A. It has excellent anti-inflammatory properties, making the skin soft, elastic and moisturised, while at the same time protecting it against disease.
Wintergreen essential oil:
Wintergreen essential oil is one of the most commonly used essential oils. It helps to relieve and overcome inflammatory and painful musculoskeletal conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, respiratory, joint and muscle problems). It is a common ingredient in gels used to massage sore muscles, as methyl salicylate, one of the main ingredients, greatly increases blood circulation. It stands out among essential oils for its effective analgesic properties, which can be further enhanced when combined with eucalyptus essential oil. Wintergreen essential oil helps to relieve pain, control inflammation and rheumatism, shrinks veins, drains excess fluid, strengthens, soothes coughs, relieves skin conditions and more.
Menthol crystals (Menthol):
Menthol is extracted from mint essential oil in the form of needle-shaped translucent crystals. It is used for its strong cooling effect, its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and relieving congestion. Menthol is an indispensable ingredient in footcare products relieving tired, swollen and burning feet. It works by stimulating receptors in the skin that react to cold and can be a great addition for treating injuries, as it acts as an analgesic and pain reliever.
Juniper oil:
It was used by ancient Egyptians in the process of mummification, while juniper twigs and cones were used as incense for physical and spiritual purification. Juniper is considered a natural disinfectant. It penetrates the skin and reaches the muscles quickly and is thus great for massaging tired muscles, rheumatic limbs and aching joints. Research has shown that a significant improvement may be noticeable after just a few days of application on joints. The same goes for injuries such as strained tendons and various swellings. The pain disappears in just one day, while bruises disappear in two. Juniper is also recommended for treating dermatitis, skin rashes, oily and acne-prone skin. Juniper’s active ingredients help to flush toxins and excessive fluid out of the body, which is why it is also effective in cellulite-reducing massages. It can also help with headaches by massaging your temples and forehead and to treat excessive feet sweating.
Eucalyptus oil:
Eucalyptus oil is the generic name for the distilled oil made from the leaves of plants of the Eucalyptus genus, which is part of the Myrtaceae (myrtle) family. They are mainly grown in Australia, but are cultivated all over the world. Eucalyptus oil is very versatile and is used in many fields, even in industry, as a medicine, antiseptic, repellent, spice or fragrance. Muscle pain is often accompanied by swelling, which can be quickly reduced with eucalyptus oil. Eucalyptus oil works just as effectively as an anti-inflammatory when it is applied to the skin and then absorbed through the epidermis. Apply to the sore and swollen areas and the pain and swelling will soon subside.
Pine essential oil:
Everyone is familiar with the pleasant scent of pine trees that grow at the seaside or the strong scent of those that grow in the harsh mountain conditions. Pine essential oil is very popular in aromatherapy and as an ingredient in perfumes due to its fresh scent and its positive effect on human health. It is used to improve blood circulation and reduce local pain in sciatica, sore muscles, arthritis,…
Fir essential oil:
The noble fir is a tall, long-lived conifer. It was already known as a natural medicine in ancient times and was used for treating muscle aches and to improve respiratory problems.
Comfrey:
Comfrey is a 30-100 cm tall plant with a fleshy, branched stem. Along with arnica, comfrey is one of the most important medicinal plants for treating muscle, joint and bone injuries, sprains and strains. Particularly suitable for medicinal use are the roots but some literature also mentions the use of leaves. Since antiquity, comfrey has been used for healing bone injuries, fractures and various wounds. Comfrey should only be used externally on injuries with undamaged skin.
Magnesium:
Magnesium is found primarily in rocks in the Earth’s crust, but also in salt water and in chlorophyll, the natural compound present in green plants. The human body contains about 26 g of magnesium, most of which (60%) is stored in bones and contributes to their strength. In addition, magnesium plays an important role in cell division and functioning of the nervous system.
