Hudsalva Balm.

I have just come back from the chemist witha handful of Hudsalva (and then snapped it in my bathroom on my phone; so, apologies for the photo). Like many great cosmetics, this has a wide range of uses. We originally discovered it when it was recommended to us as a foot balm; indeed, it was originally developed to soothe blisters on the feet of the Swedish army (it is called Forsvarets Udsalva, which means something like the Military Skin Cream). More recently it has become the go-to balm for sore Swedish lips; it is incredibly efficient. Almost every Swede we have encountered uses this during the winter to soothe their lips. It tastes and smells of a gentle vanilla; I really like the smell. It is also, apparently, good for frying food with, if all no other oil is available and is –apparently- sometimes used by the Swedish Army as a multi-purpose mechanical oil. It's only available at the Swedish national Pharmacy apoteket.se, although you may need to call them (or go to Sweden) as the website it difficult to navigate unless you live in Sweden/speak Swedish.
