A deep-blue, balm-like moisture mask for skin that stays thirsty all winter. Raw honey, hazelnut and milk thistle oils, avocado butter and nutrient-rich algae pull moisture into the skin and help it stay there, so skin looks plumper, softer and calmer after one use.
Who it's for: Dry to very dry skin that struggles to hold hydration, skin that feels tight or rough from cold wind and dry indoor heat, and anyone who wants a slow, cozy self-care night. Milk thistle oil helps keep oil in balance, so congestion-prone skin can enjoy it too.
Key ingredients: Raw honey is a natural humectant that draws in water and gently refines the surface. A microalgae extract supplies skin-identical lipids and helps skin take up water. Fermented mayapple and schisandra berry add antioxidant support. Oregon-grown hazelnut oil and milk thistle oil support the skin's lipid barrier and a clear-looking complexion. A whisper of Douglas fir and cedar makes the ritual feel grounding.
Why we carry it: Live Botanical is made by an herbalist in small batches in Portland, Oregon, mostly from plants grown across the Pacific West. We first carried the line in 2018 and are so happy to have it back on our shelves.
How to use
Two ways. To condition: massage a small scoop onto wet skin, tap lightly with your fingertips for a minute or two, and leave on for 20 minutes or longer. For extra hydration: mix a small scoop with a few drops of water to make a light blue cream, apply a thick layer and leave on for at least 10 minutes. Either way, wipe away with a warm, damp cloth; the honey comes off and the nourishing oils stay behind.
