What’s Inside Our Balm?
The Core: Oils, Butters & Waxes
Base oils that feel like skin.
We blend MCT (fractionated coconut) and jojoba oils — light, fast-absorbing, and rich in fatty acids — with slow-infused botanicals like calendula and plantain.
They form the foundation: smooth glide, deep comfort, zero greasiness.
Butters that repair.
Shea butter delivers long-lasting moisture and barrier support while marshmallow root adds a soft, cushiony finish that helps calm sensitivity.
Natural wax that seals, not suffocates.
A touch of edible-grade beeswax creates breathable structure — the reason Nooks clings where it should and melts when it needs to.
The Actives: Calm, Heal & Defend
Antimicrobial botanicals.
Food-grade manuka oil works quietly to discourage unwanted bacteria and support recovery from irritation or micro-tears.
Antioxidant and barrier support.
Vitamin E, rosemary CO₂, and sea buckthorn protect against environmental stress while encouraging elasticity and repair.
Natural renewal.
A gentle hint of lactic acid (encapsulated for softness) and bakuchiol help keep skin smooth and balanced without the harshness of synthetic actives.
Calming agents.
Bisabolol (from chamomile) and chamomile CO₂ extract reduce redness, soothe flare-ups, and help reactive skin feel at ease again.
The Finishing Touch
Olive-derived squalane gives instant silk without shine, and a trace of vanilla oleoresin adds warmth — clean, subtle, and safe for lips.
