This beeswax ointment with St John's wort oil and almond oil is a practical Athonite salve for everyday local skin care. St John's wort oil is traditionally used in natural skin-care preparations, while almond oil gives a soft feel and helps the skin remain more comfortable and supple.
It is prepared by Father Isaac at the Holy Skete of Xenophontos here in Mount Athos, with a simple and carefully balanced composition for areas that feel dry, tight or in need of extra care. Its texture spreads easily and leaves a gentle, nourishing protective layer on the skin.
It can be used on hands, elbows, heels and other dry or stressed areas, as well as after washing or exposure to cold weather. It offers a feeling of moisture and softness while supporting the skin’s natural renewal, without exaggerated claims or heavy fragrance.
Apply a small amount and massage gently until absorbed. The 30ml jar is convenient for daily use and easy to carry.
