Definition
Probiotics, as defined by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), are “live microorganisms administered in adequate amounts which confer a beneficial health effect on the host.” The microorganisms referred to in this definition are non-pathogenic bacteria (small, single celled organisms which do not promote or cause disease), and one yeast, Saccharomyces.

Sunburn is an inflammation or blistering of the skin caused by overexposure to the sun.
Description
Sunburn is caused by excessive exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. There are two types of ultraviolet rays, UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate the skin deeply and can cause melanoma in susceptible people. UVB rays, which don’t penetrate as deeply, cause sunburn and wrinkling. Most UVB rays are absorbed by sunscreens, but only about half the UVA rays are absorbed.
Sweet Almond Oil is especially good for eczema. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it soft and non greasy.
Excellent for making massage oils, or any remedy that calls for a vegetable carrier oil.
Helps relieve itching, soreness, dryness and inflammation.
Useful against burns and thread veins.
Almond oil goes rancid quickly, so blends made with it must be used quickly.
