Face
Face balm was first whipped up in the middle of a postpartum hormone storm to temper an unstoppable cycle of chronic reaction. It’s created to be easy to absorb, gentle, straight forward, and calming.
Each batch of Face is created to suit the season using ingredients that are easily synthesized by the body into bio reactive compounds the body (positively) responds to.
Kalahari Melon oil’s vitamin E content acts like a backstage pass to the skin’s intercellular matrix. The key is the oil’s lipophilic tocopherols (γ-Tocopherol and a-Tocopherol) which slide below the surface to offer up antioxidant and anti inflammatory benefits.
When Kalahari Melon oil is not available, we use cucumber oil and meadow foam oil. Cucumber oil is rich in linoleic acid and is easily absorbed into the skin. Meadowfoam seed oil is a relatively new oil that contains long chain fatty acids essential for cellular regeneration.
Raw Cupuacu butter is the polymath of the cosmetic butter world. It contains just the right ratio of long chain fatty acids that take on all the roles: a skin softening emollient; a protective occlusive; and a humectant – drawing moisture to the skin.
