IODEX: An Old-Fashion First Aid Remedy
From skinned knees to stubborn splinters, Iodex® has been a trusted part of the family home medicine chest since 1910. This old-fashion, time-tested ointment is the perfect first aid go-to remedy for cuts, boils, abrasions and more.
Historically known as a “black salve”, Iodex contains iodine which has both antiseptic and antibacterial properties essential for wound healing. Even the smallest cut can cause a “big ouch” when touched with iodine. Iodex eliminates the “ouch” and promotes healing painlessly through the slow release of iodine.
For over 100 years, families, including my own, have reported significant improvement when applying Iodex to cuts, scrapes, insect bites, rashes, carbuncles, sores and minor burns. Keep a jar handy in your home medicine cabinet, with your camping gear, in your car or at work. The sooner Iodex is applied to the affected area, the better the chances of reducing infection.
What is IODEX®?
Iodex ointment contains 4.7% Iodine which is a commonly used topical antiseptic. An antiseptic has the ability to reduce the possibility of infection. Iodex aids in fighting and inhibiting the growth of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microbes on the skin which can significantly improve the healing time of a cut, scrape, sore or splinter. When an infection is present in a wound, the area is often sore and painful. Applying Iodex to a wound combats the germs and relieves the pain and soreness surrounding it.
Iodine combines with a hydrating base to lock in moisture and allow the affected areas on the skin to remain soft and supple, promoting faster healing time. Unlike many other medicated ointments, Iodex will not burn or sting when applied.
Give your skin the protection it needs to restore itself to a healthy state.
What can IODEX® be used for?
Customers report that Iodex has been successfully used for:
- Minor Cuts and Scrapes
- Pimples, Lesions & Blisters
- Rashes & Minor Burns
- Splinters
- …and more!
We love hearing and reading about the many ways families have benefited from using Iodex ointment. Please feel free to share your personal stories and healing experiences.

Meet Nature’s Best Kept Secret, Organic Sweet Almond Oil
Baar’s Organic Sweet Almond Oil is a cold-pressed oil that has been extracted from the dried kernel of the Almond Tree. The therapeutic use of Almond Oil dates back to Biblical times, when it was mixed with fragrant herbs to create traditional ointments.
Today, Almond Oil is often used as a key ingredient in the cosmetic industry. Loaded with vitamins A, E and B, as well as Oleic and Linoleic essential fatty acids, Organic Sweet Almond Oil nourishes and revives dry skin and hair without clogging pores. Perfect for all skin types, this natural moisturizer deeply nourishes from head to toe while energizing your skin with its wonderful anti-aging properties.
Facial Cleansing and Moisturizing
Organic Sweet Almond Oil makes an excellent cleanser for those with acne-prone, oily skin. You may be thinking “How does an oil help cleanse oily skin?” Sweet Almond Oil is a superior emollient and has the ability to penetrate deep into skin and actually break up and dissolve excess sebum in the pores that is causing those unsightly blackheads and blemishes. Pamper and rejuvenate dry, itchy skin and restore your skin’s healthy glow with just a few drops. Massage a small amount of Organic Sweet Almond Oil onto the face for a few minutes then, gently pat face with a warm, wet face cloth. Rinse cloth and keep patting until oil has been removed.
To condition dry skin, a few drops of Almond Oil is all it takes to leave skin feeling soft, smooth and looking radiant. Gently massage the oil around the delicate areas of the eyes to help lighten dark circles and smooth wrinkles.
Organic Sweet Almond Oil Hair and Scalp Treatments
Many shampoos, conditioners and hair products on the market today contain harsh chemicals that strip away natural oils from our hair. This can make hair look dull and create split ends. Dry, damaged hair can benefit greatly from Sweet Almond Oil treatments. High concentrations of Vitamin E and Magnesium in the oil helps to strengthen the structure of the hair shaft, preventing breakage and split ends. Just put a few drops on the palm of your hands and rub it over those dead ends before styling. This may also help protect hair against heat damage!
A healthy scalp is key to healthy hair. Sweet Almond Oil treatments once a week provides the scalp with the nutrients and vitamins it requires to remain healthy. This pre-shampoo treatment also deep cleans the scalp clearing away excess sebum and product buildup that is blocking the pores. Part your hair into sections, add a few drops of Sweet Almond oil onto each section and massage for a few minutes. Allow the oil to nourish your scalp for an hour or two then shampoo.
Massage
Sweet Almond Oil is one of the best natural oils for massage due to its texture, light scent and high vitamin content. It is thinner than most massage oils which allows hands to glide easily over the skin. It absorbs quickly to hydrate and moisturize, keeping your skin soft, smooth and supple.
Revive your complexion, condition your hair and nourish your scalp with the nutrient-rich properties of Organic Sweet Almond Oil.

What are Others Saying?
“I just wanted to say that my entire family loves these products. The Palma Christi Bar Soap is the most amazing soap I have ever used. Lately I have seen all these commercials for body washes that have moisturizers in them and there is no need to moisturize after the shower and I always say, ‘Not for my skin’. I have very sensitive skin that dries easily. I skip my after bath moisturizer all the time. (Only really for right after shaving!!) My husband and daughter have used it and I can tell a noticeable difference after only one use!!!! I love it!!!” – D.C., Brooklyn, NY
“We have been using Palma Christi liquid and hand soap since we discovered it… Both are… very good for sensitive skin. My husband uses the liquid for hair care.” – J.R., Oakland, CA

Where did the name ‘Body Beautiful’ come from?
From the Cayce Readings:
“…give the body a good base for the stimulating of the superficial circulation; but the solution [Body Beautiful] will aid in keeping the body beautiful; that is, as to being free from any blemish of any nature.” (Edgar Cayce)
Cayce suggested to use the Body Beautiful formula after a warm bath. His idea was to stimulate the body with the warm water and a mild soap scrub for 15-20 minutes. Stimulating circulation allows the oils to absorb deeply into the skin, providing a nutritive boost.
Body Beautiful can be used in Many Ways!
Body Beautiful is much more than just an after-bath moisturizer. For an intense skin 
conditioning treatment, add a splash of Body Beautiful to your bathwater. A few drops on a piece of cotton will remove makeup while moisturizing the skin at the same time. Pat the face, legs or underarm area with Body Beautiful after shaving to prevent razor bumps and hydrate the skin. Body Beautiful is one of the best oil combinations for a therapeutic massage because of its unique ability to penetrate deeply nourishing muscles, ligaments and tendons.
