If you're looking for a petroleum-free, plant-based balm that does it all, give this balm a try. It's made of all-natural glycerin (from palm trees) and castor seed oil. The balm is unscented and has a viscous feeling when you apply it, but it quickly melts into skin and leaves it soft, hydrated (while also promoting faster healing). You can use this balm for everything — from your garden variety curling iron burns, to pesky diaper rashes, to post-surgical skin (heck, you can even use it to tame flyaways).

This super concentrated dry oil balm is made up of fragrant tuberose and hazelnut oils; both of which are full of essential fatty acids and vitamins (and also happen to boast antimicrobial and antifungal properties). Suffice it to say, it's a nifty cure-all product to bring with you on vacation because it sinks right into skin, soothing and calming it, without leaving behind any greasiness. Use it on anything from dry skin, wrinkles, blemishes, bug bites, sunburns, eczema — and so much more.

This soothing balm was originally intended to use on skin post-treatment to help it heal faster, but it does so much more than that. It's made of argan oil and shea butter, two antioxidant-rich ingredients that hydrate and help your skin retain moisture as well as diminish inflammation. Smooth it on your face or body — anywhere that is dry or irritated. Pro tip: It feels especially nice right after a chemical peel or a sunburn.
