Firm in the jar, soft the moment it meets warm skin. Rich, without the greasy film.
Why a balm, not a lotion
Made to stay where it's needed.
A lotion is a mix of water and oils. A balm has no water at all, just butters and oils, so it stays on the skin that needs it. Slide to see what happens when it meets your hand.
The ritual
Two minutes, every night.
Warm
Scoop a small amount and warm it between your fingertips until it softens.
Massage
Work it into clean, dry heels, elbows and knees with slow, firm strokes.
Rest
Let it sink in overnight. With steady use over a few weeks, skin feels softer and smoother.
