The Formula
The Balm’s composition is a crafted-with-care masterpiece, infused with the wisdom of traditional skincare. This enchanting formula features a blend of Shea and Cocoa Seed Butter, Sweet Almond, Coconut, Jojoba, and Olive oils, each element certified organic. Together, they nourish, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin with an airy touch that melts in your hands.
The Balm is scented with a delicate blend of Basil and Bergamot essential oils. A low concentration of natural oils unveils a gentle and refreshing aroma. Basil offers a spicy, herbaceous, and fresh notes, while Bergamot unfolds a sweet, floral, and herbal citrusy bouquet. These essential oils undergo rigorous CPTG (Certified Pure Tested Grade) testing to confirm the absence of synthetic fillers, guaranteeing the highest standards of quality.
Key Ingredients
Rich in vitamins A, E, and F, deeply hydrates and locks in moisture, leaving your skin soft, nourished, and glowing.
High level of antioxidants helps soothe and protect the skin from environmental stressors, promoting a healthy glow. Cocoa butter is often used to help heal chapped skin and contains compounds that can help improve skin elasticity and texture.
Abundant in vitamins A, B-7, D, and E, this highly emollient oil effectively balances moisture absorption and reduces water loss. Its rich nutrient profile improves the texture of tired or dull skin. Additionally, it contains omega-6 fatty acids, further contributing to its skin-nourishing properties.
Offers lightweight hydration and helps to balance the skin's natural oils for a smooth, silky finish. Its moisturising properties help to soothe dry skin, and its fatty acids can provide a protective barrier, reducing water loss and keeping the skin smooth and supple. Coconut oil's antioxidants may also contribute to a healthy, youthful skin by slowing down premature ageing and promoting skin elasticity.
Acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin's surface, making it an effective hydrator. It mimics the skin's natural oils, helping to regulate sebum production, and providing intense moisture without clogging pores. This helps maintain a plump, supple complexion while also encouraging collagen production for a youthful appearance.
Gentle exfoliation and healing properties promote a smoother skin texture. Its rich emollient properties can help maintain skin moisture and elasticity.

How to Use:
Melt small amounts between your hands. Massage into skin from neck to toes until fully absorbed, paying special attention to areas that require deep hydration.
For Best Results: Use morning and evening. To enhance moisture retention, apply a layer onto damp, towel-dried skin following your shower.
Contains nuts and essential oils. Patch testing is advised.
Tips:
- Elevate your self-care routine by using The Butter both in the morning and evening, ensuring your skin enjoys its nourishing embrace around the clock.
- When applying The Balm, a helpful tip is to do so while your skin is still damp after a shower. This not only makes the product easier to spread but also allows you to use less product since the water aids in evenly distributing it across your entire body. This enhances moisture retention, leaving your skin even more lusciously hydrated.
Cautionary
Note: We generally advise against applying The Balmr onto your face, especially if your facial skin tends to be oily or prone to breakouts. This is due to the presence of cocoa seed butter and olive oil, which can be comedogenic for some skin types. Instead, indulge in its luxurious texture on the rest of your body for a radiant, soft-to-the-touch skin.
While individual ingredients in The Balm are known for their potential benefits in addressing skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, we recommend caution when using it on sensitive or broken skin. Our product is not a medical treatment, and therefore, we advise patch testing and monitoring of skin reactions, especially in such cases. Please use discretion and consult a dermatologist in such cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Balm is generally well-tolerated by most. While the formula avoids aggressive and unnecessary additives, it does incorporate pure, CPRG quality-tested essential oils at very low concentrations. Since skin reactions can vary due to individual sensitivities, we detail all ingredients on our website to ensure our customers are well informed. To ensure your skin compatibility, we recommend a 48-hour patch test, even with this gentle formulation.
- CPTG, or "Certified Pure Therapeutic-Grade," is a quality certification established by DoTERRA to maintain exceptionally high standards for their essential oils, free from contamination and synthetic fillers. These standards even exceed those of organic products. These include:
- Third-party testing by external experts to guarantee quality and offer transparency.
- The oils are:
- Examined after distillation to ensure their chemical compositions are up to standard.
- Re-checked by DoTERRA production facility to confirm consistency.
- Finally assessed during packaging to ensure pureness remains before oils are shipped out.
- High Production Standards:
- Using plants from optimal climate and locations for the best medicinal benefits.
- Growing them sustainably in uncontaminated soil.
- Before sale, an additional test checks the oil’s potency and purity.

The Balm contains nuts and essential oils. If you have allergies, especially to ingredients in The Butter, it is best to avoid the product. We highly recommend a 48-hour patch test for compatibility. You can find the full ingredient list on our product page for more details.
It is essential to consider the unique nature of acne-prone skin, as ingredients like Cocoa Butter and Coconut Oil could be comedogenic for some. Even though the essential oils are pure and sparingly used, individual skin responses vary. For acne-prone skin, a patch test is advised. Alternatively, you can apply The Balmr to areas without sebaceous glands, like the soles of your feet or palms of your hands. These areas can still benefit from The Balm as they are often subjected to dryness and require deep hydration.
The Balm is designed primarily for body nourishment. Facial skin is delicate and may react differently. The formula is gentle, but its richness in oils means it has the potential to clog pores if used consistently on the face. Though it can serve as a temporary lubricant during facial Gua Sha massage, we advise rinsing it off afterward.
For noticeable improvements we recommend using it at least 3-4 times a week. For an extra boost, incorporate it into your daily routine, applying it in the morning and evening. Target dry areas as needed for deep hydration. To enhance moisturization, apply it to damp skin right after your shower or bath, locking in moisture and leaving your skin soft and supple all day.
This method also ensures you use less product overall!
The Balm absorbs into the skin within a few minutes, offering deep nourishment without a greasy feel. If your skin feels too oily, you might have applied more than your skin can absorb. Adjust accordingly to find the perfect balance. Using The Butter on damp skin ensures smoother distribution and typically requires less product.
While The Balm is not designed specifically for scars and stretch marks, its blend of nourishing oils and butters boosts skin elasticity and hydration. This can potentially improve the look of new scars and reduce the chance of new stretch marks forming for some.
Generally, dehydrated skin is susceptible to breaking, while well-moisturised skin is more pliable, flexible, and resilient. Moisturised skin may stretch with fewer tears that lead to stretch marks, but considering the unique nature of individual skin, responses can vary. Although some may notice subtle improvements with regular use, The Balmr will not remove existing scars or stretch marks, as it is not designed for that purpose.
While The Balm is gentle and its formula is free from common irritants, we advise against using it on broken skin, inflamed areas, or open wounds. Even soothing ingredients can be distressing for sensitive or compromised skin. To ensure your skin's safety, use The Butter only on fully healed scars and unbroken skin.
While many online home remedies suggest ingredients present in The Balm as beneficial for soothing conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis, we highly recommend seeking professional advice before applying The Butter to affected areas. We are not experts in that field, and while our formula is gentle and made with clean, high-quality ingredients, it is essential to approach with caution when dealing with skin conditions. If any irritation occurs, please discontinue use immediately. Your skin's health is our utmost priority.
While The Balm contains safe and clean ingredients, we have not conducted specific tests for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Since each pregnancy is unique, it is best to seek professional advice before using our product.
Absolutely! The Balm is vegan and cruelty-free, just like all of our other products. We are committed to clean and conscious beauty, and believe in harnessing the science of nature without causing harm to our furry friends.
Yes, colour variations are natural given our commitment to avoiding artificial colours. The hues of natural ingredients can differ, which may reflect in the product's appearance.
However, this does not compromise the product's quality or effectiveness.
The Balm's all-natural composition means it has a shorter shelf life compared to products with synthetic preservatives. We recommend using The Balm within 6 months of purchase to enjoy its optimal benefits. While this is the ideal "use by" timeframe, with proper storage, The Balm remains safe for up to a year.
To preserve its shelf life, it is best to store The Balm in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat, humidity, and excess moisture. Use clean, dry hands when scooping it out.
When expired, The Balm will show one or more of these signs:
● A strange or rancid odour
● A gritty or grainy texture
● Mould growth or discoloration
To ensure optimal quality, we recommend using The Balm within 6 months of purchase. When stored correctly, its shelf life can be preserved for up to a year.
The Balm contains only natural oils and butters. We have excluded water from our formula, as it can introduce risks of mould, bacteria, and fungal growth, especially in products without synthetic preservatives. Thus, The Balm is made solely from pure, certified organic ingredients. To maintain its quality, always ensure your hands are dry when scooping out the product.
Due to warm weather conditions, The Balm might sometimes melt during transit. If this happens, refrigerate or store it in a cool place for 30 minutes to an hour. While temporary melting will not impact its quality or effectiveness, for long-term storage, it is best to keep The Balm in cooler places to maintain its consistency and shelf life.
