Just the Goods Quick News - November 2024
Hello everyone! This is a quick message to let you know two favourite items are now back in stock! Please also find below Just the Goods’ upcoming holiday production and shipping schedule 🙂
Restocked Items
A classic in the practice of herbalism making it a staple in herbal first aid kits worldwide, this limited edition item was created responding to popular request. I'll be growing more calendula this summer to once again offer a formula made from seed to salve; until then, this winter version is offered using calendula oil I've purchased 😊🧡
Calendula is often used to treat wounds, rashes, infections, and inflammation among other conditions because it contains compounds that can help to decrease swelling and promote new skin tissue growth most likely by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the affected area. It also helps new skin build strength through hydration and oxygenation, as mentioned above. In herbalism its recognized actions include reducing inflammation, controlling bleeding and soothing irritated tissue.
Olive oil contains a number of anti-inflammatory compounds including triterpenes and an antioxidant known as oleocanthal that have been observed to help with surface wound healing such as sunburn by assisting with collagen production to reduce the amount of time it takes for a wound to close. Another naturally occurring antioxidant, vitamin E, helps calm redness and irritation in circumstances such as those caused by psoriasis. Relatedly, its alpha-hydroxy acids stimulate the shedding of dead skin cells and encourage new cell growth.
Shea butter nourishes skin with a nutrient dense profile featuring vitamins A, E, and F. It also absorbs quickly and provides lasting moisture
Beeswax is anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and germicidal, all of which are helpful when seeking to care for skin that has been damaged due to irritation, burn, etc. I considered making this with vegan candelilla but ultimately felt it important to ensure this formula could be effective for use on slightly broken skin in the manner it has for centuries
This formula has been made without essential oils to make it accessible to as many people as possible. It is unscented in the sense that no scent has been added for purposes of perfuming the product. Please note, however, that it smells like the ingredients used to make it -- shea butter, olive oil, etc -- rather than being scent "neutral" / smelling like "nothing".

Just the Goods’ limited edition vegan sacha inchi foot balm with lemon and tea tree oil features the following nutritive ingredients:
Organic sacha inchi, also known as Incan peanut, is a richly moisturising oil that easily penetrates skin making it especially helpful for areas that are dry and/or thick. It is high in vitamins and antioxidants, as well as being nicely balanced in fatty acids Omega 3, 6, and 9.
Shea butter nourishes skin with vitamins A, E, and F. It also absorbs quickly and provides lasting moisture
Lemon essential oil is antiseptic, disinfectant and anti-fungal. It can also help to soften skin, which is useful when seeking to treat calluses, corns, and bunions
Tea tree oil offers antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antifungal properties making it helpful when seeking to control athlete's foot among other common concerns
Candelilla wax helps to create a texture slightly more like a balm than a butter it has a little more staying power
