faq's

can this balm be used on both the face and body?

although this balm was originally designed for use on the body, it can indeed be used anywhere that requires soothing. our guys like to use it as a beard balm, too. for the lips, we recommend our lip butter.

my balm is too soft/too hard/just right

this balm is composed of some lovely ingredients that tend to soften or liquefy when the temperature rises. if your balm is liquid or too soft, pop it into the refrigerator for an hour or so to firm it up. if it's too firm, let it rest quietly in a warm spot (such as above the refrigerator) for a bit. do not place it in the microwave or in the oven - you'll burn the delicate oils and render them ineffective. and if it's just right - all is well with the world.

how is the balm used for scars?

Dr. Naidu provides all of her surgical patients with a jar of this balm after surgery. she recommends applying it when all sutures have been removed and the incisions are beginning to heal, typically at 10-12 days following surgery. the beeswax in the balm provides an occlusive coating to the incisions which helps to seal in hydration and keep the incision moisturized. massage a small amount onto the incision twice daily and allow to absorb. don't overdo it - a little bit goes a long way.

how else can I use this balm?

we've had customers tell us they use it for stubborn dry patches of skin, to protect and soothe fresh tattoos, to occlude skin treated with lasers, and even as a beard balm.

will the essential oils in the balm irritate my incisions?

no, we've used a very small amount of essential oil to provide a gentle fragrance upon opening the jar. lemon oil is a top note and will evaporate quite quickly. lavender oil has a middle to top note and will linger a bit longer to lend a relaxing touch to the balm.
