Exfoliating Balm
Our Exfoliating Balm combines ultra-fine pumice with deeply nourishing ingredients like grass-fed beef tallow, jojoba oil, and calendula. Infused with calming essential oils including blue tansy, frankincense, and geranium, this balm gently buffs away buildup while supporting your skin barrier.
Skin feels smoother, softer, and more balanced, without redness or tightness.
Unlike harsh scrubs or peels, this balm hydrates as it exfoliates, making it ideal for sensitive, reactive, or dry skin types.
Why It Works:
-
Micro-fine pumice removes buildup and unclogs pores without damaging the skin’s surface
-
Tallow and jojoba deliver bioavailable moisture to restore balance
-
Blue tansy and calendula calm inflammation and support healing
A soothing reset for skin that needs clarity without compromise.
