A velvety face balm for skin that can't make up its mind: dry and tight one week, congested the next. Root extracts and light, fast-absorbing oils give dry skin the moisture it needs without the heavy feel that can lead to clogged pores. It sinks in to a soft, velvet finish with a hint of glow.
Who it's for: Dry or combination skin that's also prone to congestion and the occasional breakout, and anyone who wants a richer morning layer under sunscreen in the colder months.
Key ingredients: Adaptogenic astragalus, licorice, echinacea and marshmallow root help skin handle stress and calm the look of redness. Grapeseed, babassu, cacay and cranberry seed oils absorb quickly and bring protective antioxidants. A touch of mango butter and beeswax holds moisture in. Blue tansy, lavender and frankincense give it a calming, spa-like scent.
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
Warm a small amount between your fingertips and press it on as the last step of your routine, ideally over a hydrating serum or mist. Use it morning, night or both, depending on how dry your skin feels. On congested weeks, pair it with the Illuminating Exfoliating Serum a couple of nights a week.

Good to know
30 ml / 1 oz. A calming herbal scent from blue tansy, lavender and frankincense. Contains beeswax, so it is not vegan. The balm is a soft green-blue. If tiny butter beads form when the temperature changes, they melt right in as you massage.
