The Balm

About

The Balm by Sorella Apothecary is a decadent, deeply nourishing overnight balm-moisturizer designed to restore hydration, support skin renewal, and deliver anti-aging benefits while you sleep. It’s ideal for skin that’s dry, stressed, or showing early signs of aging — working overnight to leave skin plump, softer, smoother, and more resilient by morning.

What It Is

This is a rich, emollient balm-moisturizer formulated with a blend of potent peptides, botanical extracts, nourishing oils, and barrier-supportive emollients. Rather than a simple light lotion, The Balm is a “treatment-level nighttime moisturizer/balm” — combining barrier repair, deep moisturization, antioxidant defense, and wrinkle-targeting actives in one luxurious step. 

Key Benefits

• Deep hydration & skin softness — The Balm locks in moisture with rich oils and emollients, helping skin feel supple, smooth, and comfortable rather than dry or tight.

• Supports overnight skin renewal & barrier repair — As you sleep, the balm helps skin repair and recover, supporting healthier skin barrier function and resilience.

• Reduces visible signs of aging — The formula’s peptide complexes help target fine lines and wrinkles, supporting firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

• Improves skin firmness, smoothness & plumpness — Users often wake with a more “plumped,” smooth complexion — helping skin look rested and refreshed.

• Rich nourishment & antioxidant protection — Botanical oils, fruit and plant extracts provide antioxidants and fatty acids that help protect against environmental stress, support elasticity, and boost glow.

Key Ingredients & What They Do

Here are some of the standout ingredients — and why they matter:

• Peptides (e.g. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-37, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 / Argireline) — These actives help support skin firmness, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and stimulate skin renewal for smoother, more resilient skin.

• Black Currant Extract — Rich in vitamin C and fatty acids, helps reduce inflammation, supports hydration, and contributes to skin’s moisture-binding and brightness.

• Antioxidant-rich botanical extracts (e.g. Acai Berry, Gotu Kola, Licorice Root, Chamomile, Centella Asiatica, Rosemary Leaf) — Provide antioxidant defense, help calm and soothe skin, support barrier health, and protect against free-radical damage.

• Nourishing oils and emollients (e.g. Sweet Almond Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Shea Butter / plant butters + Beeswax / emollient base) — Deliver deep moisturization, restore lipid barrier, soften skin, and lock in moisture for prolonged softness and resilience.

• Humectants & hydrating agents (e.g. Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate) — Help draw and retain water in the skin, promoting plumpness and helping skin stay hydrated and bouncy overnight. 

Why It Stands Out

The Balm stands out because it bridges luxury moisturization with results-driven skin care — not just serving as a rich cream, but delivering active anti-aging peptides, antioxidant botanicals, deep nourishment, and barrier support in a single, elegant step. For skin that’s aging, dry, or barrier-compromised, it offers a potent overnight repair that supports long-term skin health.
