What kind of skin issues is this gel-balm actually meant for?

This herbal gel-balm is designed for mild, superficial skin irritation and damage. According to the product information, it's intended for skin that has been affected by heat, sun, cold, minor cuts, scrapes, or rough external conditions.

It can be used in typical, everyday situations where the skin barrier is temporarily disturbed, such as:

• Minor kitchen mishaps, like a small splash from hot oil or steam.
• Skin feeling tight and dry after too much sun exposure.
• Hands becoming irritated from exposure to household detergents or other harsh substances.
• General skin discomfort from weather conditions like frost or wind.

The gel-balm's texture is meant to spread easily and form a light protective film to help soothe this type of skin discomfort. It is not intended for serious skin damage. The source material specifically advises seeking professional medical attention if skin is badly blistered, deeply damaged, very swollen, or shows signs of infection.
