A little bit of History
So what is it you may ask? Homeoplasmine is a plant-based, homeopathic ointment to relieve red and chapped skin and facilitate its healing. Formulated with antiseptic and plants extracts such as Calendula Officinalis, it was first formulated to alleviate the irritation of nasal membranes commonly affected by colds and rhinitis, allergies and freezing temperatures, which is why is it is still commonly used on nose and lips in winter in France.
