Aromatic Chest Balm

Aromatic Chest Balm

Aromatic balm

Two eucalyptus species, because one was never enough.

Globulus for depth and radiata for a softer top note, with rosemary, peppermint and tea tree behind them. Massaged onto the chest or the upper back, it does what a room full of gum trees does on a cold morning.

It is the most assertive thing we make, and the label says so plainly.

The formula

  • Jojoba Simmondsia chinensis

    A liquid wax rather than an oil, which is why it sits so quietly on skin and keeps for years.

  • Shea butter Butyrospermum parkii

    Unrefined, melting just under body temperature. It carries the structure of every butter we whip.

  • Beeswax Cera alba

    The firmness dial. Ten percent gives a soft salve, fifteen a firm balm, twenty a solid stick.

  • Vitamin E Tocopherol

    An antioxidant for the oils. It is not a preservative and we never treat it as one.

  • Eucalyptus Eucalyptus globulus and radiata

    Two species, not one. Globulus for depth, radiata for a softer top, both grown here.

  • Rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis

    Sharp and clarifying. Avoid in pregnancy or epilepsy without professional advice.

  • Peppermint Mentha piperita

    Cooling on contact. Kept well away from the face for a reason.

  • Tea tree Melaleuca alternifolia

    Australian, medicinal, and used at a low enough rate that it supports the eucalyptus instead of shouting over it.

How to use it
