About Just Herbal, Natural Skin Care

Just Herbal was created in 2003 by James and Helen. James is a qualified Medical Herbalist. Helen is a Physiotherapist and Acupuncturist and self trained in Aromatherapy. We both have a passion for holistic health, all things natural and chemical free.

When our first son was born we used cloth nappies and wanted a good Natural and Safe Barrier Ointment to prevent and treat nappy rash. And so the experimenting began! Our midwife at the time was a bit concerned when she saw us wiping something from a Tikka Masala jar on our little newborn baby!!! When we explaned what it was she was intrigued. And so our Calendula Barrier and Healing Ointment was born.

It is our biggest seller and proves time and time again to be successful for preventing and healing nappy rash, as well as a whole host of other skin ailments! We even have customers using on their horses and dogs skin ailments with GREAT success!

Here is one of many of the wonderful feedback statements that we have recieved recently......
"Thanks the CALENDULA BARRIER OINTMENT seems like a miracle ointment for our babies nappy rash, we have had ongoing problems for ages with sensitive skin and have tryed LOTS of diff creams and within 2 days of using this her rash is almost completely gone :-)"


In response to a need for affordable, pure, simple, chemical free, natural and effective skin care products and after discovering that other "commercial" products were laden with harmful chemicals, our love for nature and knowledge of its health secrets helped us continue to develop our Natural Skin Care product range. Our product range incorporates a wide range of wonderful natural ingredients, all of which feed, nourish, heal and compliment the skin. We offer an extensive range of affordable natural face and body products as well as a growing range of Medicinal Herbal creams and ointments.
