Aries Cedar Wood Blocks

Protect your handknitted shawls, socks and sweaters from moths: The fragrance blocks by Aries are made out of Atlas Cedar wood, which grows in Toscana, Italy. One block suffices to protect 11ft². Just place it between your knitted items or amidst your yarn stash – or wherever you would like the fragrance to spread. We also recommend to sand down the block every now and then with abrasive paper to reactivate the fragrance!

Bad Aiblinger Moorsalbe für Gelenke

Lots of knitting can take its toll on your joints and muscles, not only in your hands but all the way through the arms and the neck. This cream made with natural peat will help relax your joints after knitting or in between. Even though it is naturally dark, the cream does not stain and will be absorbed into your skin easily. Peat from natural moor has been used for more than 200 years for its benefits with rheumatic issues, joint pains or muscle tensing. The black peat from the highlands contains not only anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients, it also nurtures the stressed and sensitive skin. The peatland of Bad Aiblingen in Bavaria, Germany, has been cultivated in a sustainable fashion for many years. All peatlands in Germany are strictly protected as they serve as an important biotope for rare plants and animals. The Bad Aiblinger Moorsalbe for joints also contains frankincense (German Weihrauch) to support the treatment of joint pains. Precious almond oil cares for dry skin and keeps it moisturized. Apply to joints (fingers, hand, elbow etc.) and massage into the skin. Use as required several times a day. This cream is BDIH / Cosmos certified as natural cosmetics: – ingredients prefereably from certified organic sources– free from synthetic perfumes or colorants – free from mineral oil derivatives – free from PEG (Polyethyleneglycol) Content: 50 mL Ingredients (INCI) Aqua, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Octyldodecanol, Peat, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Dicaprylyl Ether, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Boswellia Serrata Resin Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Lavandula, Angustifolia Oil, Xanthan Gum, Acacia Senegal Gum, Tocopherol, Citric Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Potassium Sorbate, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool.

Santaverde Handcreme

I have been searching a long time for the ideal hand lotion for knitting hands. It should feel light and get absorbed quickly while still providing intensive care. In no way should the cream feel sticky or have a strong smell. Add to that the preference for truly certified organic cosmetics and the pickings get slim. Fortunately, the hand cream by Santaverde satisfies all these requirements. It is made from pure aloe vera juice and rich oils from almond and coconut as well as shea butter and cocoa butter. It takes care of even rough and stressed hands, while feeling great. The secret of Santaverde: Pure aloe vera juice uniquely rich in active ingredients from their own certified organic cultivation in Andalusia. Santaverde uses the pure juice, instead of the usual main ingredient water, complemented by precious plant oils and extracts, to create a unique effect for the health and beauty of your skin.
