Spotlight On Rescuing Body Balm
As we ease into September’s swing and cooler air begins to settle in, our skin and body call for a seasonal shift. It is the perfect moment to trade light, breezy formulas for richer, more cocooning textures. Think velvety creams, nourishing balms, and decadent body oils. During the transition from summer to autumn, consider shortening your showers to protect the skin’s natural barrier, while introducing gentle exfoliation. It’s a time for renewal, for restoring softness, and syncing our rituals with the rhythm of the seasons. Our Rescuing Body Balm captures this essence beautifully and was made for this moment of gently nurturing the skin.
Skin-cycling, simplified. Soothe, renew, reveal, reawaken in a single action.
Our award-winning Rescuing Body Balm lives up to its name. An opulent all-in-one product that promotes skin cell renewal, deeply hydrates, calms inflammation, addresses fine lines, and supports the skin barrier.
The combination of nutrient-rich oils, cushioning emollients, and essential barrier-repair ingredients like Shea butter and Glycerin works together to provide deep hydration. This blend not only fortifies the skin barrier but also improves overall texture, leaving your skin looking and feeling its best. Complementing it is Babassu seed oil valued for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits, along with Glycerin, a powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin for lasting hydration. The addition of Sunflower and Apricot seed oils introduces lightweight nourishment, rich in vitamins A and E. Beeswax helps to seal in moisture and protect the skin barrier, while cucumber provides a refreshing and cooling effect that eases inflammation and minimises puffiness.
At the heart of the Rescuing Body Balm lies Rosehip Seed oil, revered for its rich content of essential fatty acids and antioxidants, particularly Vitamin A, which is crucial for skin regeneration and elasticity boost. It’s also known for its impressive ability to fade scars and blemishes.
The therapeutic trio of Arnica, Calendula, and St. John’s Wort, three perennial herbs long celebrated in traditional medicine and natural skincare, works synergistically to strengthen the skin’s resilience, ease inflammation, and speed visible recovery from redness and irritation. Calendula extract is recognised for its ability to soothe irritated skin and promote healing, while Arnica Montana Flower extract has been used to address bruising, muscle pain, and inflammation. St. John's Wort Oil is known for calming irritated skin and is beneficial for burns, wounds, and even nerve pain.
Additionally, Sea Buckthorn fruit oil is rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidants, promoting skin regeneration and elasticity. The inclusion of Retinyl Acetate, a gentler form of Vitamin A, enhances regular cell turnover and improves skin texture and pigmentation without the harsh effects associated with traditional retinoids. Mild yet effective, it helps diminish signs of sun damage, making it particularly suitable for skin that is recovering from summer exposure. Together, these elaborately combined ingredients create a versatile and unique formulation that hydrates, restores, and visibly enhances the skin, offering both comfort and correction in one luxurious step.
A multisensorial experience that thoughtfully resets your skin and mind.
The simple ritual of massaging Rescuing Body Balm into the skin is enough to signal the body to return to a place of calm and restoration. Its ultra-nourishing and indulging texture melts effortlessly upon contact, leaving behind a naturally radiant, dewy finish that revives lacklustre skin. To fully reap all the benefits of its high Vitamin A content, ensure the skin is dry, not damp. To begin, apply a thin layer of the balm by warming a coin-sized amount between your palms until it softens. Next, smooth the product onto the skin using gentle, upward motions to minimise any tugging.
It can be applied to the entire body for overall renewal or concentrated on specific areas. Targeted zones include the upper arms to improve texture and address keratosis pilaris (those harmless small bumps which can develop on your arms, legs or bottom from excess keratin production), the chest and décolleté to enhance toning and firmness, as well as the knees, elbows, and thighs to mitigate the appearance of crepiness. Rescuing Body Balm is also remarkable as a hand and foot treatment to maintain their youthful appearance.
As you take this time for self-care, remember to gently massage your skin with the heartfelt intention of nurturing and transforming it.
Beyond its topical benefits to unveil your most luminous skin, the Rescuing Body Balm instantly envelops the senses in a reawakening aroma. Infused with essential oils of Sandalwood, Bergamot, Jasmine, and Lemongrass, its spa-like fragrance strikes the perfect balance between grounding and uplifting. As the balm melts onto the skin, the scent adapts to your unique body chemistry, evolving into a sensual, lingering veil that elevates your sense of self.
Essentially, Rescuing Body Balm paves the way for body care with a holistic vision focusing on the skin-mind approach, and with glowing and smooth skin as part of a renewed self-care commitment.
