How much would you price this?

I have a group of four second level players that I encouraged to play the characters they wanted to play rather than filing traditional roles. As such, the group has no healer. To compensate I make sure to give the group access to healing while in cities as well as extra healing potions. However, I also wanted to give the group an option to clean up those minor wounds without having to burn a potion up so I created the following:

Missionary Balm - A magical enhanced alchemical Balm used by priests to heal minor injuries and afflictions on missionary excursions to disaster areas, battle fields, famine areas etc. A container contains 8 applications and heals 2hps of damage over the course of an hour period. A second application can be applied simultaneously although the effects are diluted. A double application provides 3hps of damage in 45 minutes. A triple application provides 3hps of damage in 30 minutes. There are no noticeable additional benefits from a quadruple or more application. A simultaneous heal check (DC15) increases the healing properties by 1hps.

So I have given my group a container of this to start off with, but I am trying to figure out how much to price it at in case they want to purchase some later. I am thinking about 40gps. So is that too much, too little? Curious what other people thought of it along with its usefulness?

Well i would say your aboute right there. I would only wind up buying about two or three of them, and other things would use healing postions. I would charge aboute 50 gold. As said befor, it is rather hard to abuse them.
