Isles Body Balm
100ML | 3.38 Fl OZ
A solid oil concentrate made to repair and protect the driest, most troubled skin. Infused with coastal seaweed and wild balsam fir, this balm nourishes the body with trace minerals, fatty acids, and protective waxes that strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. Its creamy texture melts on contact, absorbing into the skin to restore elasticity, seal in hydration, and soothe post-bath or wind-weathered skin.
Formerly the Holiday Body Balm, I began making this balm from local beeswax and conifer needles to help friends and family with problematic skin conditions such as eczema and wounds that wouldn't heal, and received wonderful feedback. I decided to share this with my large Dark Harbor Skincare Family.

BENEFITS
Seaweed — rich in trace minerals, amino acids, and polysaccharides that remineralize the skin, improve elasticity, and restore natural hydration.
Balsam fir — calms the nervous system and eases muscular tension while stimulating surface circulation for a sense of warmth and renewal.
Cupuaçu butter — deeply hydrating and rich in phytosterols to restore firmness, resilience, and moisture retention without greasiness.
Jojoba oil — biomimetic to the skin’s natural sebum, balancing barrier function and preventing transepidermal water loss.
Beeswax — creates a breath
