When I first made a water-based balm, I quickly realised it needed preservatives to keep it shelf-stable. But the more ingredients I added, the less healing it felt — and I knew it wasn’t something I’d want to use on my own family, especially the little ones.
We’re not ones for a cupboard full of complicated skincare and products. We prefer to keep things simple and natural, so it can be used by the whole family with confidence.

That’s when I discovered the power of water-free skincare.

Without water, there’s no need for preservatives or stabilisers, which means the balm stays pure, concentrated and gentle on the skin.
This approach honours the plants we use and keeps the formula free from unnecessary nasties that fill so many store-bought creams.
When you choose water-free balms, you choose real, natural care, something your skin will truly thank you for.

Why We Chose a Water-Free Approach

• Skincare doesn’t need to be complicated; it just needs to be real.
• Adding water means adding preservatives, stabilisers, and synthetic emulsifiers.
• These extra ingredients can overwhelm and irritate sensitive skin.
• We wanted a slower, more intentional path that respects both nature and your skin.
• Staying water-free lets us focus on purity and potency without fillers or shortcuts.

Why Water-Free Matters

Without water, there’s no need for preservatives. Instead, you get a concentrated blend of carefully selected plant oils, butters, and herbal infusions – each chosen for its nourishing, soothing, and repairing benefits. This means pure, effective skincare and healing protective balms and butters that work in harmony with your skin’s natural needs.

💧 Without water, there’s no dilution.

A little truly goes a long way, and every ingredient in our formula serves a purpose to nourish, soothe or repair. No fillers, no fluff. Just real ingredients that your skin can recognise and use.

🌿 Rich and highly concentrated

These balms melt into the skin and work deeply without clogging pores or feeling heavy. You’ll find yourself needing less product, less often.
✨ Best of all, this is real, natural care. No preservatives. No parabens. No synthetic fragrance. Just skin-loving botanicals, made in small batches with care and intention.

Because what we put on our skin matters, often more than we realise.
Our skin acts like a second mouth, absorbing much of what we apply. So why use anything you wouldn’t feel comfortable putting inside your body?
That’s why we choose ingredients you can recognise, trust, and feel confident using every day.

A balm shouldn’t be a mystery.

We know how overwhelming it can be to decipher ingredient lists packed with long, synthetic names, many of which can clog pores, harm your skin’s natural barrier, or even disrupt hormone balance over time. A balm should be soothing, healing, a blend your skin recognises and welcomes – gentle, natural, and nourishing with every use.
Crafted from pure, thoughtfully selected ingredients like organic shea butter, beeswax, calming calendula, antioxidant-rich rosehip oil, soothing chamomile, and nutrient-packed avocado oil, our balm works in harmony with your skin to soothe, protect, and replenish.
Every application feels like a quiet celebration of nature’s finest, free from unnecessary additives or chemicals.
When we say our balms are water-free, it’s more than a technical detail. It reflects a slower, more mindful and beneficial approach, one that honours both the plants we use and the skin we care for.
Water-free skincare means a more concentrated, preservative-free way to nourish and heal you and your skin with no unnecessary fillers, stabilisers or compromises.
