Universal Balm (20ml)
About
The Universal Balm is a deeply nourishing, all-natural salve crafted to hydrate, soften, and protect skin from dryness, environmental stress, and moisture loss. Originally formulated as a winter-salve for hands, its rich, skin-conditioning formula makes it ideal for use all over the body — and gentle enough even for face or lips. For clients with dryness, sensitivity, seasonal stress, or compromised barrier function, this balm delivers intense comfort and long-lasting nourishment.
What It Is
This balm is a minimalist, botanical-rich moisturizer: a blend of cold-pressed butters, oils, and aromatics designed to deliver deep hydration and skin repair. It's a skin-barrier–focused treatment rather than a typical cream — meant to seal in moisture, support skin health, and deliver antioxidant protection. Though marketed as a “hand balm,” it’s versatile enough for full-body, face, or lip use.
Key Benefits
-
Deep, long-lasting hydration & moisture sealing — the rich butter and oil base helps lock in moisture, protecting skin from dryness and dehydration even in harsh weather.
-
Softens and smooths texture — regular use leaves skin feeling supple, smooth, and more comfortable.
-
Supports skin barrier and reduces water loss — the balm helps reinforce skin’s lipid layer, helping prevent transepidermal water loss and promoting resilience.
-
Antioxidant protection & nourishment — with botanical oils and butters rich in nutrients, the balm helps shield skin from environmental stress and free-radical damage.
-
Versatile use — face, hands, body, lips — a single product you can apply wherever skin needs a boost, making it especially useful for travel, post-treatment care, or as an overnight skin support.
Key Ingredients
| Ingredient | Function / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Mango Butter (cold-pressed) | A deeply nourishing butter high in antioxidants and essential fatty acids — helps soften skin, restore lipids, and provide long-lasting hydration. |
| Grapeseed Oil (Vitis Vinifera) | Lightweight oil that helps deliver hydration and antioxidants; supports skin softness without heaviness. |
| Organic Beeswax (Cera Alba) | Acts as a protective emollient — creates a gentle barrier on skin to lock in moisture and shield from external stressors. |
| Neroli Oil (Citrus Aurantium var. amara) | Offers rejuvenating, regenerating, and anti-inflammatory properties; helps soothe skin while providing a delicate, luxurious scent. |
| Sandalwood Oil (Santalum spicatum) | Contributes a grounding, wood-rich scent while supporting skin nourishment and providing a calming effect. |
| Hinoki Oil (Chamaecyparis) | Known as a healing, antiseptic essential oil with calming, balancing benefits — supports skin health and barrier function. |
| Black Pepper Oil (Piper nigrum) | Adds a subtle warming/activating quality to the balm — may help stimulate circulation and skin vitality. |
Why It Stands Out
The Universal Balm stands out because it fuses luxurious, deeply nourishing botanicals with a simple, intentional formula focused on skin health — not gimmicks or heavy preservatives. Unlike many creams that rely on water-based or synthetic fillers, this balm uses a skin-loving oil/butter base that truly nourishes and repairs. Its multi-use versatility (hands, body, face, lips) and high-quality aromatic oils (neroli, sandalwood, hinoki, black pepper) make it feel like a ritualistic treat, not just moisturization. For clients looking for a minimalist yet deeply effective balm to support barrier health, hydration, and skin comfort — this balm delivers a true “skin-first” experience.
