Nature’s Veil travels deep in to your skin to help reestablish a synergistic balance and skin elasticity. It is quickly absorbed leaving no sticky or oily residue on your skin.

• Repelling insects
• Healing dry elbows
• Healing bruising
• Healing cuts or abrasions
• Reducing pain from arthritis or infection


• Reducing pain and itching from insect stings and bite


To Use: Formulated for every day use, Nature’s Veil works best when applied just after bathing and over night. Only a thin veil is necessary. Reapply as needed for soft, supple skin. Consistency will change with temperature, this does not change its effectiveness. Shake well if separation occurs.


Ingredients: cocoa butter. coconut oil, avocado oil, almond oil, aloe, essential oils, and herbs.
