Sanctuary | Barrier Balm
Deeply Restorative • Strengthening • Soothing
A reparative face and neck balm that soothes inflammation, supports skin repair and strengthens the skin's natural resilience. Sanctuary is for skin that is sensitive, reactive or has become triggered by essential oils.
Enriched with essential skin lipids like Avocado and Macadamia and ceramides from Jojoba that work with whole plant extracts and local raw beeswax. Sanctuary delivers lasting hydration, encourages collagen renewal and nurture even the most delicate skin barrier back to balance.
Warm and herbaceous, grounded by the richness of our Amazonian butters. A nutty sweetness rises gently underneath - quiet, comforting, familiar, like something held close.
Whole Plant Philosophy
- At the base of this balm, Cupuacu butter delivers deep hydration, improving elasticity with its phytosterols and antioxidant compounds. It partners with Bacuri butter, revered for its natural anti-inflammatory properties, to fortify the skin barrier and alleviate hypersensitivity. Raw beeswax locks in moisture, sealing the skin in protective nourishment.
- Calendula, our favourite golden skin healer, supports microcirculation - gently clearing stagnation and soothing deep-seated inflammation. Rich in flavonoids, it strengthens the skin’s natural healing process.
- A revered botanical for skin regeneration, Gotu Kola, stimulates collagen synthesis and enhances elasticity over time. Its triterpenes work to firm, repair, and restore, offering long-term support for compromised skin.
- Comfrey, abundant in allantoin, nurtures the skin's repair cycle - encouraging cell proliferation while softening and fortifying delicate areas.
- Licorice is a potent anti-inflammatory that calms irritation while inhibiting hyperpigmentation, revealing an even, luminous complexion. Its rich glycyrrhizin content enhances the skin’s moisture retention, working in harmony with the Amazonian butters and raw beeswax to create a protective hydrating seal.
With our 42 day whole plant extraction process, our Sanctuary Balm offers comfort for stressed and overwhelmed skin, it soothes dryness, irritation and seasonal imbalances - returning the skin to its most vibrant and supported state.
