Key ingredients

• Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil — cold-pressed and organic, rich in Omega-6 linoleic acid, low comedogenic rating, absorbs quickly without leaving a residue
• Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax — plant-derived wax, forms the balm's protective, occlusive layer on the skin's surface
• Maranta Arundinacea (Arrowroot) Root Powder — helps lighten a rich balm's texture

Best suited for

• A multi-purpose protective balm — dry patches, lips, cuticles, or anywhere skin needs a protective barrier
• Anyone wanting a plant-based alternative to petroleum jelly
• All skin types, given the minimal, clean-screened formula
