Cleansing Balm

I first made this balm because I wanted a facial cleansing product that could be made quickly. Soap takes 4-6 weeks to saponify and, sometimes I lack the time and space for that!  To use, you simply massage it into your skin and then wipe it off using a damp cloth. The recipe recommends a damp muslin cloth (likely because it's so fine it will catch all of the balm) however, I have found other cloths work well too. It's extremely gentle, so ideal for people with delicate skin. It also can be used as a balm for skincare, so, you can leave it on overnight and then wipe off in the morning.

This balm contains: Argan oil, Rosehip oil, Shea nut butter, Beeswax with essential oils of Bergamot, Cypress and Frankincense. 

N.B. I only offer products that are certified organic, wildcrafted in their natural habitat, grown using organic practices in cases where organic certification is unavailable or impractical (e.g. the plants I grow or the tallow I buy from the small farm in which we are co-owners).

If you'd like to make this balm yourself, please see my substack for the recipe. I sell all the oils needed to make it (so naturally recommend my products!). For the Organic Shea Butter, I recommend these people. For beeswax, I have found most suppliers are great. If you know a small scale local producer of honey, I'd also recommend asking them as many are not interested in refining the wax. I have only refined wax once and, personally, finished the experience in the same way I did when refining tallow thinking "I'll get a finished product from now on!". However, doing it certainly makes you value others' work!
