Our signature formula contains only the plant-based ingredients.
No preservatives? Is it safe? How long will it last?
Yes. Because there is no water in the formula, there is nothing for bacteria to grow in, so no preservative is needed. Because it's made in small batches, it's not sitting on a shelf for months before it reaches you. The amber glass jar also acts as a freshness defense by blocking UV light. Use clean and dry hands every time to keep it pure, store in a cool dry place, and once opened, use within 12 months.
Is it greasy?
Nope.!It is rich but absorbs into a velvety, non-greasy finish, thanks to arrowroot, rosehip, and jojoba balancing the heavier butters. A little goes a long way.
Can I use it on my face?
Balm Butter is made for head-to-toe application. The scented versions use essential oils, but don't worry; the amount is considered safe for the face.
The formula is very concentrated, use less than you would other moisturizers. Less is more!
As with anything new, patch test first if your skin is sensitive.
Ingredients - INCI
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Maranta Arundinacea Root (Arrowroot) Powder, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.
Original Scent includes: Boswellia Carterii (Frankincense) Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil
DOESNT Contain
No Synthetic Preservatives. The formula is water-free, so there's nothing for microbes to grow in; rosemary extract (ROE) and vitamin E protect the oils naturally instead.
No Parabens. A category of synthetic preservatives; not used or needed here.
No Phthalates. Commonly hidden inside synthetic "fragrance" blends; your scent comes from real essential oils (frankincense, lavender, tea tree), not a fragrance-oil blend.
No Synthetic Fragrance. What smells good here is the essential oils themselves.
No Fillers. Every ingredient earns its place (moisture, structure, or scent); nothing's in there just to bulk up the jar.
No Emulsifiers. This isn't a water-based lotion, so there's no water phase to emulsify in the first place.
No Silicones. No dimethicone or similar; the silky finish comes from the oils and waxes themselves.
No Mineral Oil or Petrolatum. Moisture comes entirely from plant oils and butters (jojoba, mango, shea, rosehip, castor).
No Synthetic Dyes. Nothing artificially colored.
No Talc. Arrowroot powder does the job talc usually does - absorbing excess oil, smoothing texture.
How To Use
