I know this little pot of green goop doesn't look like the answer to anyone's prayers, but if you have dry skin ... this stuff is MAGICAL! I live in Las Vegas, maybe one of the driest civilized places on earth, and my hands suffer, especially my cuticles. I am always getting little hard hang nails and no matter how much lotion I put on, there they are again.. all dry and flaky looking. So a while back, I traded Ami for some of this and her homemade roots chai tea. She got 4 little "necessity" zip pouches in her favorite colors. Both products have wildly outstripped my expectations.

So what is this stuff? It's Green Goodness All-Over Balm from etsy seller Monamiga. Ami lives up north in a redwood forest and she makes this from scratch. It's rich and deeply hydrating, but absorbs so fast. And the smell .... like fresh green things after a good rain. I use it on my hands and feet nightly and for the first time I can remember, my hands are not CRYING for moisture everytime I look down. My feet also love it! I bet you can imagine how dry they are after a summer in flip flops and sandals or in the winter with the heater sucking all the moisture out of the indoor air. Even my boyfriend, skeptic of all things natural, has started to ask for some for the callus on his foot.

I'll let Ami explain a little further what's in the green goop:

This balm is not quite salve, not quite cream, but all goodness. Made green by the avocado oil, and lady's mantle infusion (lady's mantle is said to speed the healing of skin), this butter has got you covered.

Whether you want to use it as a traditional hydrant, cuticle cream, gardening-hands softner, massage lotion, foot balm, hair pomade, or winter rash preventer.... it doesn't matter.... it will work for you.

In addition to being an excellent emolliant, it also smells wonderful, with a complex array of floral waters and essential oils - the dominant fragrance being cinnamon and lavender.

Containing essential oils of Lavender, Cinnamon, Vetiver, Orange, Palmarosa, Sandalwood, Rose attar, Cedarwood, Marjoram, Chamomile, Ylang Ylang, Geranium, and Patchouli. Also contains Rose Geranium Floral Water

The formula goes on thick and soaks in quick! This is an all natural product with no fragrance oils or synthetic parabens or polymers.

Don't you love it when you find a product that is BETTER than you expected? Try Ami's green goddess balm. You won't be disappointed. The 4oz. size comes in old fashioned jelly canning jars. Which just goes to show, fancy wrappings are nice, but it's what INSIDE that counts.
