Our Forager’s Balm shields the skin while these aromatic allies ensure your walk in the woods is a peaceful one: Cedar and Peppermint to placate, Eucalyptus to activate, White Sage to consecrate, and Geranium to invigorate. Wholesome Jojoba and Beeswax shields the skin and create the luscious texture of this balm.
A journey through the forest is one of life’s luxuries; for in the space between the trees lies the innermost secrets of the soul. To forage into the forest, enjoying your walk in the woods without being buzzed by fly-bys is always the goal. Our Forager’s Balm is formulated with lemony, camphorous-coniferous notes that let you enjoy the outdoors instead of shooing and swatting.
Directions: Forager’s Balm is most effective when used in combination with our Forager’s Cologne. Use the balm on exposed skin, behind the ears, on the face, on the hands, and at the nape of the neck. Avoid using on the eyes. This beautiful balm glides on skin, quenches dry skin and diminishes the appearance of rough patches and redness.
