]]>The choice is always up to you. You can go on with mainstream commercial skincare products or change to trusted organic formulations and reach the golden standard.
But hey, we know it can get confusing, so take a moment to get the story straight and return to nature’s best.
It shouldn’t be allowed but it’s nigh impossible to stop the runaway train, since beauty products figured if they could have ‘Organic’ on their label, they get customers to keep using their product. Crying shame, we know!
Commercially manufactured skincare products may have the word 'organic' on their labelling somewhere as long as they include some or other ‘natural’ ingredient. These faux organic products still contain toxic material such as, chemicals and synthetic ingredients.
Here’s some to watch out for:
Breaking News: Don’t believe it’s ‘Green’ either because many so labelled still contain chemicals and synthetics! And ‘Clean’ on the label may make it better than most but it still ain’t organic!
Sorry to rub it in a bit, but we’ve proudly told you for years what IS in Supersalve, it’s time you know what you’re not getting. Take a look:
We could go on, because there are still antibiotics, GMO’s, hormones and pesticides, but we think you’d know about those.
We know you’ll think twice about what you lather onto your skin. Remember that your skin ‘drinks’ in what you give it. It is that fabulous capacity of the skin that Supersalve’s range of creams, balms, and oils are counting on to deliver all their organic richness to nourish through to muscles, ligaments and bone depth.
Conclusion: use pure, organic formulations on your skin and educate your family to do the same. Well has it been said that the best foundation you can wear is glowing, healthy skin!

As we watch climate change affect the weather, we need to remember that the brunt of environmental stressors is borne by our skin.
The MYSA website notes:
"Factors such as rising temperatures, increased UV radiation, pollution, and extreme weather conditions can significantly impact our skin’s health and appearance. Climate-adaptive skincare refers to adjusting our skincare routine and product choices to meet the specific needs of our skin in response to climate change. By adopting a climate-adaptive approach, we can better protect and nourish our skin while minimizing the effects of environmental stressors."
Being comfortable in your own skin is one thing, keeping it healthy is another. For some reason our South African culture didn’t get the memo on this. In European countries, skincare is taught in childhood. Both genders use skin clinics and healthcare professionals to learn how to take care of their particular skin.
In South Africa, we seem to still be stuck into the ‘rough and ready’ look of the ‘tough’, macho man and the sun-kissed female form. Big mistake. Your skin is your most priceless accessory. When you respect your skin, it shows, actually it glows!
In a family scenario, it makes a lot of sense to keep ‘first-aid’ skincare products in a place you can readily access them when needed.
Supersalve organic skincare balms, oils and lotions already answer many skincare issues that might arise, such as;
The Supersalve range expanded from the original balm formulation, which is still astounds users with its efficacy.
Conclusion: the skin is our first defense but it also bears many scars and is exposed to environmental toxins every day. Regular cleansing and nurturing with Supersalve's organic preparations will be an excellent first defense against what we ask of our skin every day that we live.
NB: All SUPERSALVE products are completely free from petrochemicals, parabens and phthalates, and are safe for the whole family, from babies to the elderly and everything in between!
]]>Here are some dos and don’ts to get you started.
Be honest, you know you skip this more often than you should. Here’s the think, while your clothing protects most of you, your face is exposed to bacteria, grime and environmental toxins every day and night – yes you go out at night too! So, clean it up!
Teach your children to clean their face every morning and every night with organic soap, especially in their teen years, when clogged pores lead to unsightly acne.
Regular facial moisturizing products get quite complicated. ‘Watch your oily T-bar area’, ‘What’s your skin type’, etc. all skin types recognize organic preparations and absorb nature’s powerful ingredients, knowing exactly what must go where and why.
Moisturizing is not a ‘girly’ business, men, especially in the harsh SA climate, need to tend to this vital skincare routine.
Tempting as it may be to give your face a good scrub with exfoliation beads or worse, salt, coffee grounds, almond pits or sugar. Understand that the skin has its own aquatic ecosystem and all of the foregoing mess with that.
These harsh ingredients break the micro capillaries found underneath the top layer of skin. Don’t do it!
Soap bars and handpump solutions claiming antibacterial sanitization properties usually contain Triclosan. This ingredient has been banned in certain lands as it has been linked to brain damage and hormone disruption, converting to chloroform in breastmilk!
Don’t use these products on your face or your hands! Stick to natural, organic, glycerin or handmade soaps.
Conclusion:
Supersalve is a unique organic range of ointment, balms and oils, safe from babies, to seniors and you will be glad you educated your family on managing cleanliness and nourishment using organic products.

]]>To help you manage expectations, let’s understand some fascinating skin facts, starting with two key definitions.
Penetration - references a formulation’s ability to pass through the various layers of skin. lab-manufactured analgesic chemicals have been known to penetrate the formidable stratum corneum, the outer layer. This first step has to counter the whole purpose of the skin, which exists as a brilliantly designed lipid matrix of robust, long-wearing cells serving to prevent anything from penetrating it in the first place.
Absorption - references the depth to which ingredients reach having penetrated all the layers of the skin, including being able to enter the bloodstream.
Rather than arouse the skin’s innate protective defenses, which are fully aroused when coming in contact with chemical carriers used in synthetic skin creams, including and probably primarily in cosmetics, organic preparations are delivered through all the layers of skin, to the bloodstream, ligaments, tendons, muscles and bone!
Perry Antelman, CEO of Abacus Health Products explains the benefits of natural emollients, such as shea butter; ‘They’re natural oils, so they work well with your skin and are absorbed quickly.’
Now combine that reality with the analgesic properties of natural ingredients and you have a winning formula for delivering pain relief where you need it most!
Antelman next relates the double-whammy delivered by nature’s medicinal properties, saying:
‘When essential oils such as eucalyptus, tea tree, clove, peppermint, and hemp are combined with common analgesics such as menthol and camphor, the pain relief felt is often enhanced because essential oils such as these are believed to have complementary components of their own.’
All skin is not equal. The skin covering your heels is tougher than the skin on your face, for example. It is thicker in places and less so in others. When organic preparations are applied topically to an area of injury, for example, you do best to apply it to the pain site. However, if you need pain relief more generally, for those ongoing body aches and pains, try applying the salve or balm to more sensitive areas of skin.
Soft spots of the skin, listed from fastest to slowest areas:
The cherry on the top is that while synthetic skin products lack both penetration and absorption, leaving a greasy film on the top of the skin, natural ingredients play nice with your skin. You’ll feel the difference in the softness and smoothness of your skin and in the bone-deep penetration that gives you pain relief.
Supersalve is packed with the best of nature’s medicinal arsenal to sort out your injuries, aches, and pains as well as to speed up healing.
NB: All SUPERSALVE products are completely free from petrochemicals, parabens and phthalates, and are safe for the whole family, from babies to the elderly and everything in between!
]]>Those who have the joy of formulating organic preparations know they are tapping onto the power of nature’s apothecary. The win here is that the body recognizes natural ingredients and knows exactly what to do with them and where they’re needed most. Can’t say that of the artificial lab-generated products toted to supply what’s needed.
Better Health spells it our perfectly; ‘Pharmaceutical medications are based on man-made versions of naturally occurring compounds found in plants. For instance, salicylic acid is found in the plant meadowsweet and is used to make aspirin. Aspirin can cause the lining of the stomach to bleed, but meadowsweet naturally contains other compounds that prevent irritation from salicylic acid.’
There are several reasons why you might choose an organic herbal preparation over a conventional one:
"Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience." –Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to choose an organic herbal preparation is a personal one. However, there are many good reasons to consider making this choice, both for your health and the environment.

- Janine Sigurdsson, conscious bodywork practitioner
Before city civilizations featuring concrete jungles, pollution and a disconnection with one another, privative peoples experienced a life closer to nature surrounded by life-giving vegetation, clean air and a lot of human connectivity.
The mother-child bond was so strong, that while the baby was wrapped in a carry blanket on the mother’s back, she would know instinctively when the baby needed to urinate or pass stool. She would swing the baby off her back, make a little pile of sand outside or in a box for indoors and hold the baby over it to answer nature’s call.
Have we come a million miles from that kind of bond or what? The good news is, that while we slap diapers on babies and make them soil themselves, we need not lose touch entirely with the connectivity that babies of past generations enjoyed. How? Regular massage is the answer!
IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage) supplies the benefits to the baby and the bonding created via massage, in four areas:
Interaction – taking precious time out for you baby via massage promotes trust, security, and attachment and love. This has a bearing on the characteristics they will develop as they grow.
Stimulation – massage is an incredibly direct way to stimulate all your baby’s body systems – imitating its birth canal passage into the world; If your baby was delivered by Caesarian Section, you have all the more massage to do to engage your baby’s circulatory, digestive, hormonal, immune and raspatory systems!
Relief – IAIM states that gently intentional baby massage works to relive gastrointestinal difficulties, such as constipation or colic as well as teething pain and even growing pains!
Relaxation – babies are super sensitive to what’s going on in their environment. All parents experience times of stress and anxiety and you need to reassure your baby that all is well. To do that, be sure to take deep breaths and alter your state of anxiety before you massage your infant.
With all those benefits between parents and the babies they regularly massage, imagine what good you’re doing to their rapidly developing bodies when you use organic oils. The properties in natural ingredients are conveyed through the delicate skin, delivering all their natural goodness to your baby.
Supersalve formulated an incredible organic Cell-care Oil, that is gentle and suitable for babies and the elderly. Use this organic preparation for your skin too and watch the power of nature to heal and soothe more than skin-deep!
NB: All SUPERSALVE products are completely free from petrochemicals, parabens and phthalates, and are safe for the whole family, from babies to the elderly and everything in between!
]]>Additionally, organic skincare products are often more nutrient-rich than conventional products, as they contain higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Here are some of the specific benefits of using organic skincare products:
In addition to general benefits of organic skincare products, natural formulations are sourced from nature's abundant apothecary. That means two extra benefits:
1. Penetration for Pain Relief- the dynamic ingredients used in supersalve, for example work way deeper than just helping the surface of the skin. The body absorbs anything organic like a sponge and carries the healing and pain relief properties right to the bone, muscles, ligaments and bones.
2. Multi-pronged Power - organic ingredients are broad spectrum in nature. That means that while you may be targeting acne or psoriasis, for example, you will benefit from auxiliary ingredients that work to support the health of your skin.
Overall, organic skincare products offer a number of benefits over conventional products. They are gentler on the skin, less likely to cause allergic reactions, more nutrient-rich and, are working for you in more than just your target area.

Let’s get the serious definitions as spelled out by NIH out of the way first;
“Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major contributor to societal disease burden and years lived with disability. Nonspecific low back pain (LBP) is attributed to physical and psychosocial factors, including lifestyle factors, obesity, and depression. Mechanical low back pain occurs related to repeated trauma to or overuse of the spine, intervertebral disks, and surrounding tissues. This causes disc herniation, vertebral compression fractures, lumbar spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, and lumbosacral muscle strain.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation practitioner Kavita Trivedi, D.O. explains: “When we get stressed out, the body naturally releases certain hormones. Adrenaline is associated with the ancient “fight or flight” phenomenon that heightens our blood pressure, increases our blood supply, and causes the muscles around our spine to tense and spasm in case we need to flee the source of the stress.”
For the above issues, professional treatment is your first order of business. But there may be more subtle causes that you can address without a medical intervention. Let’s take a brief, but enlightening look at that.
Thanks to articles like ‘The Body Doesn’t Lie’, we can learn from London Osteopath, Vicky Vlachonis and understand the mind-body connection on a holistic level that ‘inextricably links our emotional state to our physical health.’ Here are Vicky’s observations on lower back pain:
Physical Symptoms: Sciatica, prostate or kidney stones, colon.
Emotional Source: Anger issues, stress of unsatisfying job/home life.
Physical Symptoms: Ovaries, pelvic disorder. (Remember: scan, smear, or swab regularly.)
Emotional Source: Loss of power, buried emotions.

Adrenaline is associated with the ancient “fight or flight” phenomenon that heightens our blood pressure, increases our blood supply, and causes the muscles around our spine to tense and spasm in case we need to flee the source of the stress.”
In addition to topical relief preparations, there are other home remedies and self-care strategies that can help alleviate lower back pain. These include gentle stretching and exercises that focus on strengthening the core muscles, maintaining a healthy weight, practicing good posture, using proper lifting techniques, getting regular exercise, managing stress, and quitting smoking if applicable!

Research suggests that topical medications can be just as effective as oral medications for pain relief. They come in the form of gels, creams, patches, and more, and can provide localized relief. Some studies have even shown a decrease in pain when people apply lavender essential oil or cayenne pepper ointments with acupressure.
Supersalve’s organic preparations for topical use include Sports Rub, which is packed with the full force of nature’s curative extracts all in one.

]]>It’s not that we in the skincare industry have been asleep, treatments and tweakments waiting for approval, have been piling up on the FDA’s desk from before the days of Covid. But understandably, the good folk at the FDA have been necessarily distracted due to devoting their resources to finding life-saving vaccines for the global population.

]]>There is such a thing as one-size-fits-all if you use an organic skincare ointment. It is thanks to the powerful ingredients straight from nature’s apothecary, which do way more than just moisturise.
Watch out for your family’s skin these holidays - everyone is likely to get more sun exposure than usual. Being fussy about sunblock is sensible but it's the aftercare that makes the real difference.
Supersalve’s range includes an organic All-Care Balm and we are used to customers ordering a jar for each family member for the holiday. Teaching children to take care of their skin from an early age will avert painful teenage issues such as acne and reduce wrinkles and other skin issues common in later years.

It is formulated to reduce pain and relieve itching in all rashes including deep-seated problems such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, burns, cuts, bites, and traumatized skin and scarring as well as soothing deep bone pain.
Never take healthy eating for granted. Your body will benefit and your skin will show its appreciation by glowing with health. That’s not to say you need to restrict the festive fare you have planned but eating a variety of fruits and veggies, plenty of protein and healthy fats as well will minimise negative impact.
Remind your family to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water, which your skin will love too. To have that healthy on-the-go-glow is the reward for not giving up on good nutrition despite all the braais and cake-eating that you’ll enjoy this season.

]]>But thi is no time to neglect skincare - the opposite is true. you need to make sure your skin doesn't dry out with added sun exposure or inadequate wafer consumption.
Here are three common factors that can cause dehydrated or dry skin:
While they both may pretty much feel the same, there's a big difference between dry and dehydrated skin.
You may assume your skin is dry because it feels dry when all you need to do is drink more water.
You are born with a certain type of skin, such as oily or dry. However, your skin condition refers to what happens to your skin, such as dehydration, acne, and irritation. Anyone can suffer from a skin condition, whether temporarily or permanently.
Supersalve's Fast Fact: Dehydrated skin is a condition, not a skin type.
Dry skin is skin lacking in oils. If this describes you, then remember you were born with this skin type and you’ll know it because all the skin on your body tends to be dry, whether on your legs or on your scalp.
Dry skin soaks up whatever moisturiser you apply really quickly and it tends to be evident in dry/cracked heels, sensitive or flakey skin. Skin conditions such as eczema can develop from dry skin.
Dehydrated Skin is a lack of water in the body. Think of it, even if you’re drinking a fair amount of water, your skin benefits last. In fact, your skin is a great barometer for whether you’re drinking enough water or not.
What does your skin do to compensate for dehydration? It makes more oils! So your skin may feel oily but actually, be dehydrated. Add that to the makeup you plaster over your face, using inorganic skincare products, poor diet, environmental pollutants, and even the weather and you’ve got the perfect recipe for troubled skin.
The good news is that managing either skin situation is relatively simple. Switch to organic products, as pure as you can get them - straight from nature’s apothecary, if possible.
Nature knows best and the ingredients in natural and organic formulations provide your skin with everything it needs to balance the ratio of water to oil on your skin.
Season’s Hot Tip: Use an organic moisturiser or essential oil for the whole family this holiday - from baby to grandparents, everyone needs extra protection
