Warm a pea-sized amount between fingertips to soften before applying. Smooth onto dry areas like hands, elbows, or cheeks for seasonal comfort. For a grounding ritual, use as a massage balm—the rich texture softens with warmth and slowly releases its spiced, earthy scent. Can also be layered over a serum or oil to create a protective veil during colder months.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Natural balms may soften in warm conditions and firm in cooler ones; this is normal. This formulation contains natural botanical ingredients, which may cause allergic or sensitization reactions in some individuals. We recommend performing a patch test before first use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. For external use only.
