Inspired by the movie Midsommer. Scent described as suspiciously savory pie with bright notes of summer peach and candied ginger. Balm provides intense skin-softening protection from the elements for your cuticles, hands, feet, elbows - basically anywhere on your skin that could use some extra TLC! Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, this formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and free of gluten, tree nuts, soy, parabens, and phthlalates.
To Use:
Scoop a bit out of the tin with clean fingernails, or just rub to collect some on your finger, and apply anywhere you need protection & softness. For best effect, apply after hand-washing, or whenever your skin has gotten wet - this will lock in the hydration! Please note: if stored at higher temperatures, this balm may take on a "grainy" texture. This is completely natural & does NOT mean it has "gone bad." The "grains" (shea & mango butter) will melt into your skin on contact! To prevent graininess, store your balms in a cool place. For best quality, use within 4-6 months.
