A face balm that earns its place on reactive skin.
Most face balms contain something your skin does not need. Fragrance. Essential oils. Synthetic preservatives. Bare Face Balm is built without any of them. Five ingredients, no fillers. A concentrated waterless balm that nourishes, cushions and seals without giving sensitive skin one more thing to react to.

Jojoba
A stable liquid wax ester that supports barrier feel and helps the balm melt smoothly.
Evening Primrose
A long-trusted oil for dry and eczema-prone skin, chosen for its fatty acid profile.
Mango Butter
Cushions dry skin and helps the balm melt smoothly without a greasy finish.
Beeswax
Creates a light protective seal to hold moisture close while respecting the skin barrier.
Vitamin E
Added to support oil freshness in a waterless formula.
Botanist note
Made with pure oils and butters and no synthetic stabilisers, you may notice slight batch-to-batch variation in colour or texture. Any graininess is cosmetic only and resolves easily with gentle warming. Read our guide here.
How to use
Warm a small amount of balm between fingertips. Press into clean, damp skin. Use morning, night or as needed for dry patches. Use with Bare Face Oil for a complete two-step ritual.
Who it's for
Sensitive, reactive, eczema-prone or fragrance-sensitive skin. If you prefer a balm with light botanical aromatherapy, try the Botanical Face Balm.
How it's made
Cold-blended in small batches in Victoria using certified organic ingredients. Free from synthetic fragrances, preservatives and fillers. Always cruelty-free.
FAQs
Is this suitable for eczema-prone skin? Yes. It is free from common eczema triggers in skincare. Patch test first.
Why does the balm sometimes feel grainy? Natural plant butters can re-crystallise during temperature changes. It is cosmetic only.
Can I use this if I have a fragrance allergy? Yes. No fragrance of any kind, including no essential oils.
Is this made in Australia? Yes. Cold-blended in small batches in Victoria.
Why our skincare looks different
Most skincare is 70 to 80% water. Once it dries, what's left is fragrance, preservatives and a thin film of actives. We remove the water entirely.
Every Skin Botanist formula is anhydrous - concentrated botanical oils, butters and waxes, with nothing diluted. Cold-blended by hand in Victoria, Australia, in small batches small enough that we notice if a butter sets differently or a scent lifts stronger. The texture is richer. A little goes further. Skin feels nourished, not coated.
