I see these balms and think: "This will give me inflammatory acne." Just me?

I do have to share this about canning: My mom canned a shit ton of stuff, and froze alot, too. She was born in the mid 1920s, as was my dad, and tried to save wherever possible. That meant growing and making your own stuff whenever you could and preserving for later on. I had to help when I was growing up, and I hated it. I haven't done any of it since leaving home, but my daughter does. I gave her all my mom's recipes, cookbooks, jars, etc., when I cleared out the house after my dad passed away. As a SAHM of 4 she saves alot by growing her own stuff, then canning and freezing it. She's not trying to be trendy--she's not even into social media--she's just doing what works for her.
