Healing Ointments | Olive Oil & Beeswax Arnica

Mas Entreserra Natural Healing Ointments: the artisanal first-aid kit nature has been offering us for centuries

In a world saturated with synthetic ingredients, unreadable labels and mass-produced formulas, Mas Entreserra Natural Healing Ointments represent an honest return to what matters: medicinal plants with proven efficacy, virgin olive oil as a nourishing base and pure beeswax as a natural protector — all crafted using the traditional water bath method. No parabens. No silicones. No shortcuts.

The water bath method secret: when gentle heat preserves everything

Not all natural healing balms are created equal. The difference doesn't always lie in the ingredients alone, but in how they are made. At Mas Entreserra, we follow the traditional water bath method: an indirect, controlled heating technique that melts the beeswax and olive oil at a gentle temperature, without destroying the active compounds of the medicinal plants it carries.

This small-batch artisanal process ensures that every 50g jar retains the integrity of the essential oils, flavonoids, terpenoids and antioxidant compounds that make each variant a truly effective natural remedy. No industrial machinery can replicate the care of hands that know the craft.

Virgin olive oil: the base that nourishes from within

Extra virgin olive oil is not merely a passive carrier in this formula — it is the first therapeutic agent. Rich in oleic acid, polyphenols, vitamin E and squalene, it penetrates the deepest layers of the dermis without clogging pores, delivering:

• Long-lasting hydration that doesn't wash away at the first rinse
• Antioxidant protection against skin aging
• Anti-inflammatory properties that amplify the active botanical ingredients
• Natural affinity with human skin, which enhances the absorption of all active compounds

Choosing a natural balm with an olive oil base is not a nostalgic choice: it is a decision backed by centuries of use and supported by modern scientific evidence.

Pure beeswax: the skin protector nature designed

Virgin beeswax is the ingredient that transforms an oil into an ointment. But its role goes far beyond texture. When applied to the skin, beeswax:

• Forms a breathable protective film that locks in moisture without suffocating the skin
• Acts as a barrier against external aggressors: cold, wind, pollution and pathogens
• Delivers bioavailable vitamin A, essential for cellular regeneration
• Carries its own antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that amplify the action of the plants
• Provides a solid texture at room temperature that melts gently with body heat, releasing actives exactly where needed

A beeswax and olive oil balm is, in itself, a small masterpiece of natural engineering: stable, effective and entirely free from artificial emulsifiers.

8 ointments, 8 solutions: the natural first-aid kit you've been looking for

Each Mas Entreserra variant addresses a specific need of skin and body. From the muscle relief of arnica ointment for bruises and contractures, to the regenerative power of rosehip and lavender balm for damaged skin, through propolis healing ointment, calendula for sensitive skin, the antifungal strength of tea tree balm, the triple anti-inflammatory of ginger, turmeric and arnica for arthritis and chronic pain, the deep nourishment of argan balm and the circulatory action of St. John's Wort with arnica for varicose veins and rheumatism.

All of them share the same commitment: chemical-free natural skincare, paraben-free, with no unnecessary ingredients. Only what works.

How to apply the ointments for maximum effectiveness

Preparing the area

Clean and dry the area to be treated thoroughly. Clean skin absorbs active ingredients up to 40% more efficiently. For medicinal-use ointments (arnica, St. John's Wort, propolis), the skin should be free from deep open wounds or undiagnosed lesions.

Application

Take a small amount with a fingertip or a clean spatula. The ointment melts with the warmth of your skin. Apply using a gentle circular massage to encourage penetration. For muscle and joint pain, massage for 3–5 minutes with moderate pressure.

Recommended frequency

• Therapeutic use (pain, wounds, fungal infections): 2–3 applications daily until improvement
• Cosmetic use (hydration, dark spots, anti-aging): 1–2 applications daily, preferably on slightly damp skin after showering
• Preventive use (repellent, hand protection): apply before exposure

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Beeswax is a natural preservative that ensures product stability. No refrigeration required.
