The Balm Effect
No water at all. Organic mango and shea butters melt with squalane into a botanical-rich balm that glides on like a gel and sinks in clean: no heaviness, no residue, just soft, cushioned, luminous skin. Underneath, bakuchiol and paracress do the quiet renewing work. Eight ingredients, nothing else.
Directions
After cleansing and toning, warm a small pea-sized scoop between fingertips and massage onto face and neck. Add more as needed. Can be used day and night; most reach for it at night and in dry seasons.
Full ingredient list
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Squalane, Bakuchiol, Acmella Oleracea Extract, Tocopherol.
Everything in the jar, and why.
Rich enough to nourish. A little goes a long way.
A balm that does three jobs: cushions, renews, and absorbs.
Cushions
Organic butters deliver the fatty, cushioned moisture very dry and weather-worn skin is asking for. The deepest, longest-lasting hydration of anything we make.
Renews
Bakuchiol, the plant-based retinol alternative, brings renewal sensitive skin tends to welcome. Paracress lends its smoothing, tightening feel across expression lines.
Absorbs
A near-match to skin’s own oils. It is what lets a balm this rich glide on like a gel and settle in about five minutes with no greasy film.
Warm it, press it in.
A pea-sized scoop goes further than you think. Let your fingertips melt it first.
The seal
Over serum, as the last step. Warm a pea between fingertips, press into face and neck, and let bakuchiol and paracress work overnight.
The winter coat
When the heating comes on or the wind picks up, use it morning and night. A thin layer settles in about five minutes and sits fine under makeup.
The rescue
Flaky patches, chapped corners of the mouth, cuticles, elbows. Anywhere a compromised barrier needs sealing, a dab does it.
