Melem combines time-honored natural ingredients in a soothing petrolatum base.

It Just Works.

Castor Oil

Melem is rich in natural soothing ingredients. One of these ingredients is castor oil; extracted from the castor oil plant. Each plant produces three large black seeds after flowering. The oil is then extracted from these seeds. The first documented use of castor oil as a moisturizer and protectant was in Ancient Egypt, over 3,500 years ago. The Egyptians actually used the oil to lubricate and safeguard their eyes against harsh irritants. Throughout history castor oil continues to be used for such ailments as skin lesions, gastro-intestinal conditions, and gynecological problems all over the world. It is even claimed to have healing properties when used as an external compress. However, the fatty composition of castor oil is what makes this Melem ingredient so beneficial. The high fat content makes it ideal for soothing and moisturizing your skin. Castor oil readily absorbs into your skin while protecting you from the harsh elements that caused your skin problem. Also, castor oil acts as a humectant to draw moisture to your skin. So whether you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, dry cracked skin, calluses, or wind and sunburn, Melem combines castor oil, lanolin, and beeswax, three natural and soothing ingredients, to help provide you relief.

Lanolin

Lanolin is an all-natural Melem ingredient rich in fatty acids produced by sheep to protect their skin and shed water from their wool. It is retained in the sheep's wool and is extracted when the wool is pressed between rollers and processed for the textile industry. Lanolin has been used for centuries as a softener and protector. It readily absorbs into your skin and acts as a protective barrier against harsh elements. Not only will it protect your dry or irritated skin, but it also promotes water retention to keep your skin at a healthy balance. Lanolin is a key ingredient in Melem to help seal in the moisture and provide relief for your skin problems and irritations. It is combined with castor oil and beeswax, two other all natural ingredients, making Melem a skin soothing powerhouse.

Beeswax

Beeswax is a natural soothing agent, which is why it is an essential ingredient in Melem. This all natural ingredient also helps seal in the moisture so your skin receives relief and much needed protection. Defense from the wind, sun, and other irritants is what beeswax does best. It has been used for that purpose for over 2,200 years. The makers of Melem believed this long history of beeswax could not be wrong and added it to their skin and lip balm to protect you every time you use the product.
