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 to help retain moisture.

Full Ingredients
Skincare marketing often highlights only selected key ingredients, leaving the complete formula harder to find. We consider every ingredient a key ingredient, so we proudly list the full formula here, up front.
Ingredients: Simmondsia chinensis (Certified Organic Jojoba Oil), Oenothera biennis (Certified Organic Evening Primrose Oil, Virgin), Mangifera indica (Mango Butter), Cera alba (Beeswax), Tocopherol (Vitamin E).
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.
Allergy information: The Bare formulas are made without sweet almond oil, but our facility handles sweet almond oil. We do not claim they are nut-free or suitable for every allergy. Check the full ingredient list and ask your allergy clinician before use if you have a diagnosed allergy.
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? It is made without added fragrance or essential oils. It is a cosmetic moisturiser, not an eczema treatment. Ask your healthcare professional for advice if you have eczema.
Why does the balm sometimes feel grainy? Natural plant butters can re-crystallise during temperature changes. It is cosmetic only.
Does it contain added fragrance? No added fragrance or essential oils. If you have a diagnosed allergy, review the complete ingredient list with your allergy clinician before use.
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.
