The formula

Nine ingredients, in order of weight

Every tin is made in one small batch. This is the whole list — nothing held back as a “proprietary blend.”

Ingredients flat lay
  • Organic beeswax

    Organic beeswax

    Cera alba

    Sets the balm. It's what makes the salve firm in the tin and slow to melt on skin.

  • Shea butter

    Shea butter

    Butyrospermum parkii

    The richest emollient in the formula. Softens and conditions dry skin.

  • Fractionated coconut oil

    Fractionated coconut oil

    Cocos nucifera

    Thins the wax just enough to spread. Absorbs faster than whole coconut oil.

  • Hemp seed oil

    Hemp seed oil

    Cannabis sativa seed oil

    Cold-pressed from the seed. A light carrier oil that leaves a matte finish.

  • Jojoba oil

    Jojoba oil

    Simmondsia chinensis

    Closest of the plant oils to skin's own sebum, which is why it sinks in instead of sitting on top.

  • Eucalyptus oil

    Eucalyptus oil

    Eucalyptus globulus

    Scent, plus the clean cool feeling on application.

  • Peppermint oil

    Peppermint oil

    Mentha piperita

    Scent. Used at a low percentage so it reads fresh rather than sharp.

  • Vitamin E

    Vitamin E

    Tocopherol

    Keeps the plant oils from turning. This is the only preservative in the tin.

why a balm and not a lotion

A lotion is mostly water held together with emulsifiers, which is why it needs a preservative system and why it disappears in seconds. This salve is anhydrous — no water at all. Beeswax and butters do the structural work, and the only thing keeping it stable is vitamin E.

The trade-off is that you have to warm it between your fingers first. That extra ten seconds is the point.

Three steps

how to use it

  1. Warm a small amount

    Scoop a pea-sized piece with a fingertip and rub it between your hands for a few seconds. It goes from solid to oil quickly.

  2. Massage into clean, dry skin

    Work it in for about thirty seconds, until the matte finish appears. A little covers more than you would expect.

  3. Reapply as you like

    Safe to use morning and night. Wash your hands afterwards and keep it away from eyes and broken skin.
