Benedictine Balm is made by the monks of St. Mary's Monastery (since 1992!). It's a skin balm that soothes and can help heal dry and cracked skin, minor cuts and abrasions and doubles as a lip balm. It contains only natural beeswax, extra virgin olive oil, and tiny brown specks of friar's balsam, a solution containing natural balsams and aloes derived from trees and plants and used for centuries for their healing qualities. Each jar is about 1 inch in diameter (0.42 oz).
