Product Description (No Prototypes accepted)
Composed of only six ingredients, of which 99.88% are from upcycled sources, this vegan, multi-use balm can be used by those with all skin types – including babies and those with sensitive skin – on the face, body, and ends of the hair. With a balm-to-oil texture, the formula is water-free, silicone-free, and perfume-free. Its ingredients include upcycled grape seed oil, rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants to help support the skin barrier and improve softness without heavy residue; upcycled apricot kernel oil, offering comfort for dry and sensitive skin; upcycled avocado oil, a nutritive lipid source that helps protect and condition very dry areas; upcycled rice bran wax, a plant-based wax that creates a protective film and gives the balm its stable balm-to-oil melting texture; upcycled mirabelle plum oil, an emollient fruit oil for suppleness and sensory comfort; and natural vitamin E to support skin conditioning.
