Velvet Ylang Ylang Hand Balm

Velvet Ylang Ylang Hand Balm
Nourish + Hydrate

A soft, fast-absorbing balm that melts into dry, hard-working hands, leaving them soft, smooth and comforted. Wrapped in a warm floral scent that is beautiful, long lasting and comforting.

Why you’ll love it

Cold, wind, stress and frequent hand-washing can deplete your skin’s moisture barrier, leaving hands dry, tight and easily upset, at any age. This balm replenishes lost oils, supports the barrier and slows moisture loss through the day, so hands feel cushioned and more resilient. It’s especially welcome through perimenopause and menopause, when skin tends to turn drier and more reactive.

What it’s good for

• Dry, hard-working hands

• Hands that take a battering through washing, weather, work

• Dry and rough spots: cuticles, elbows, heels, shins etc.

• Plant-based care with no synthetic preservatives or colours

What’s inside, and why

• Shea Butter (organic) - rich and cushioning; seals in moisture and helps replenish the barrier.

• Sweet Almond Oil (organic) - rich in vitamin E; softens, conditions and tops up skin’s natural oils. Gentle on sensitive skin.

• Camellia Oil (organic) - silky and antioxidant-rich; sinks in to soften and replenish without feeling heavy.

• Olive Squalane - mirrors skin’s own moisturisers; reinforces the barrier and reduces water loss.

• Jojoba Oil (organic) - remarkably close to skin’s own sebum; locks in moisture and leaves skin comfortable and balanced.

• Vitamin E + Rosemary Antioxidant CO₂ - protect the precious oils and keep the balm fresh.

The scent

Creamy Ylang Ylang at the heart, softened by Palmarosa and Rose Geranium, and grounded by Frankincense Serrata, Vanilla and Benzoin. Warm, contemporary and beautifully comforting.

How to use

Massage into clean, dry hands and any dry spots until absorbed. Reapply through the day, especially after washing your hands. Do not get any water in the balm. A little goes a long way.

Storage & shelf life

Store below 25°C, away from heat and sunlight (not in the bathroom or car), with the lid tightly closed. As this balm contains no synthetic preservatives only use clean, dry fingers or the spatula to get the balm out, as water in the jar shortens its life. It may soften in warm weather and firm up when cool. Shelf life: approximately 12 months.
