Face Balm was created in 2018 when my skin was in yet another chronic cycle of reactivity. It was impossibly dry, tight, red, and explosive all at once. 

Face Balm's ability to quiet angry skin can be linked back to [Cupuaçu Seed Butter](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4495740/?ref=persephonesball.com)'s amazing line up of sterols, fats, and polyphenols and Kalahari Melon Seed Oil's Vitamin E content. Face Balm is waterless, doesn't need a preservative, and its two ingredients (just two) are both filled with essential fatty acids that slip beneath the surface of the skin to aid in cellular regeneration. 

Fast to absorb, Face Balm offers regenerative building blocks without overwhelming skin's intricate chemistry with factory-made chemicals. Used in conjunction with Yarrow Hydrosol, Face draws water into it – creating a barrier that slows TEWL. 

There are a few methods to using Face Balm depending on what your face might experience. 

On windy, chilly mornings: Use as a nourishing shield. 

After washing: apply to wet skin in circular motions from the center line of your face outward. 

Before Bed: try two applications.
