Living Libations Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever Balm 30ml

$92.00

The oil, set solid.

Same idea as the Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever, same jojoba and seabuckthorn at the heart of it, thickened with laurel wax and beeswax into a balm. It softens on contact with warm fingers and melts across the skin like butter. Turmeric goes in here too, which the oil doesn't have.

The balm is the better makeup remover of the two. It has enough substance to sit on a made-up face and dissolve what's there, and mascara comes away without scrubbing. Mixed with water it turns milky and rinses clean, or you can simply wipe it off with a damp cloth and leave it at that.

Balm or oil comes down to preference. The oil is faster and lighter. The balm gives you more control over how much you use, travels without spilling, and suits dry, wind-worn or chapped skin better. A jar of balm and a bottle of oil is not a redundant pairing, and plenty of people run both.

Contains beeswax, so not vegan.

Who it's for

Dry or chapped skin. Anyone who wears makeup and wants it off in one step. Anyone who travels. Gentle enough for children.

How to use it

Warm a small amount between your fingers, then smooth over dry skin, face and neck. Work it over the eyes to lift mascara.

Wipe off with a damp, wrung-out cloth. Rinsing is optional. If you'd rather rinse, wet your hands and work it until it turns milky, then rinse clean.

If skin wants more afterwards, press in a little more balm, or a few drops of a Best Skin Ever or serum.

It also works on lips, cuticles, elbows and the ends of hair.

Ingredients

Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba), Hippophae rhamnoides (Seabuckthorn), Myrica pubescens (Laurel Wax), Cera alba (Beeswax), Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender), Chrysopogon zizanioides (Vetiver), Cymbopogon martini (Palmarosa), Citrus paradisi (Grapefruit), Curcuma longa (Turmeric).

Wildcrafted and organic, made in small batches.
