Nourishing Calm | The Balm

Deep, comforting care for skin and self

The Balm

Deeply nourishing, protective care 

for skin that needs balance and calm.


A sensory ritual - 

massage gently into dry or stressed areas, 

or wherever your skin calls for comfort.


Works beautifully alone, 

or paired with Aloe Melt in our rituals.

As temperatures drop and the air dries, your skin works harder to stay comfortable.


Harsh winds, heating and cold weather can strip away natural moisture, 

leaving skin tight, rough, and easily irritated.

The Balm is your protective shield.

 

Rich and waterless, it melts into skin to deeply nourish, restore softness, seal in moisture and soothe sensitivity - creating a comforting layer for dry, chapped, weather-worn skin.

What's Inside The Balm?

Beeswax

Sea Buckthorn

Mango Butter

Beeswax pellets in a wooden bowl and a wooden spoon close by.

A natural wax produced by honeybees, beeswax adds structure and stability while helping to seal in moisture. It creates a breathable barrier that keeps skin soft, smooth and comforted.

Mango Butter, a rich natural emollient, helps hydrate and soften the skin without clogging pores. Its lightweight texture absorbs easily and leaves skin feeling soothed and deeply hydrated.

For wherever care is needed

Ways the ritual unfolds

  • Cleanse - Melt away make-up and the day's residue, then rinse with a warm cloth.
  • Moisturise - Nourish face and body as skin needs.
  • Blend - Blend a touch with foundation or blush for a natural, dewy glow, or mix with clay for a face mask.
  • Highlight and Shape - Shape brows for soft hold and subtle sheen, or highlight cheekbones, nose and under the arch of eyebrows to brighten. 
  • Soothe - Apply after time outdoors or whenever skin feels dry, sensitive, or adjusting to seasonal shifts.
  • Pause - Warm, press, and inhale the sensory journey of Illumine, our natural signature scent.


Reduce the clutter of endless jars and tubes. Fewer products. Deeper nourishment. A calmer routine.


A single ritual to keep skin calm, senses soothed, and your day flowing.
