infused oil balm concentrate
In a nod to our ancestors, this oil balm is a tribute to the way balms used to be made - and should still be made. We start with dynamic dried herbs, flowers and mushrooms, and steep them in our blend of warm organic oils for several days. This allows the plant properties to deeply infuse into the oils. Next, we melt down the wax of mimosa and jasmine flowers and infuse them into our luxurious oil. The result is an incredibly potent and soothing oil balm that smells absolutely divine.
The infused oil balm concentrate has been crafted to:
• intensely hydrate dry and dehydrated skin
• diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• heal and relieve irritation or redness
• support overall skin health promote a radiant glow
* Due to handcrafted construction, all vessels will have unique striations and color patterns.

FAQs
When we say all of our products are double sized, we mean that we took the market average size for each type of product and simply doubled it. The average size for a face balm was 1.6oz, so we made ours 3.3oz. This means you can use the products for twice as long and repurchase half as often!

Nice
I'm a bit of a skincare junkie. I've tried sooo many products, in search of my unicorn. Well, I can safely say my search is over! My face LOVES it more than anything I've tried thus far, including high-end brands. I feel comforted knowing the ingredients are of the best caliber, and I can pronounce them! Not only do I love what this company stands for and the ritual and love they put into their formulas, the vessels are what initially drew me in! I'm a sucker for a beautiful and unique presentation and this is just gorgeous! Thank you for these amazing products <3
Alright, gorgeous beings, let's talk about this absolute stunner of a face balm – it arrives in a branded wood box and then the handblown mushroom jar that's basically a piece of art for your vanity. But let's get to the real deal: this balm is like an elixir for wrinkles and dryness. I'm talking about skin so smooth and hydrated, you'll practically radiate light.
