The Gentle Label

The Gentle Label 

The Gentle Label Organic Healing Balm with Pawpaw and Calendula ($22) 

Making its recent debut in&nbsp;the local scene is every organic skincare lover&rsquo;s dream, The Gentle Label. Its&nbsp;first solo offering&nbsp;is&nbsp;the Organic Healing Balm and as its name suggests, this product does it all:&nbsp;it&nbsp;heals, soothes, moisturises the skin &ndash; from&nbsp;your cheeks to cuticles, elbows, eyelids, knees, hands, lips and feet&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;thanks to its&nbsp;100% natural ingredients, which&nbsp;contains two core products. Pawpaw (papaya) helps&nbsp;break&nbsp;down inactive proteins and eliminates dead skin cells while&nbsp;calendula oil is a medicinal herb that has&nbsp;anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties.

Versatile as it is natural, The&nbsp;Organic Healing Balm&nbsp;can also be&nbsp;incorporated into your makeup routine as a highlighter, lip primer, and&nbsp;as a brow gel to tame and groom&nbsp;those unruly eyebrows.
