Microbiome-Conscious Intensive Recovery Balm with MCT, Squalane, Neem & Tamanu
A concentrated, water-free intensive skin balm for stressed, reactive, combination and blemish-prone skin, made with a carefully considered blend of lightweight lipids, protective waxes and concentrated botanicals.
The Recovery Balm takes a different approach to traditional botanical balms. Rather than relying on large quantities of conventional plant oils, the formula is built around Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (MCT) and squalane, creating a lightweight, skin-conditioning lipid base structured with candelilla wax.
This streamlined foundation is enriched with neem oil, tamanu oil, German chamomile extract and vitamin E, alongside carefully controlled amounts of tea tree, lavender, myrrh and oregano essential oils.
The result is a rich yet considered balm designed to soften, condition and protect dry or stressed-feeling skin without an overly heavy, greasy finish. It can be used on the face or body and works particularly well as targeted evening care for areas that need additional nourishment.
A Microbiome-Conscious Approach to Skin Care
Our skin is home to a complex ecosystem of microorganisms collectively known as the skin microbiome. That ecosystem includes bacteria and fungi that naturally coexist on healthy human skin.
For example, Malassezia yeasts are normal residents of human skin and are notably lipid-dependent, while research into atopic skin has found associations between increased Staphylococcus aureus, lower bacterial diversity and impaired barrier function.
That does not mean healthy skincare should attempt to sterilise the skin or eradicate its natural microorganisms. The microbiome is considerably more complex than that.
The philosophy behind Recovery Balm is therefore simple: thoughtfully selected lipids + physical barrier support + concentrated botanical ingredients, rather than positioning the formula as an antimicrobial treatment.
Why You'll Love It
MCT & Squalane create a lightweight, silky emollient base that helps soften skin and reduce the feeling of dryness.
Candelilla Wax gives the balm structure while leaving a protective layer over the skin.
Neem & Tamanu Oils bring the formula its distinctive botanical character and make it particularly suited to targeted problem-prone areas.
German Chamomile Extract complements the formula with a gentle, skin-conditioning botanical component.
Vitamin E provides antioxidant support to the oils within the formula while helping condition the skin.
Tea Tree, Lavender, Myrrh & Oregano are included in carefully controlled quantities as part of the balm's concentrated botanical blend.
Ideal For
