As much as we love to fill our beauty cabinets with lotions and potions, there’s something magical about finding a miracle multi-tasker like the Comforting Body Balm, an offering that works overtime to make sure your skin feels nourished and like it’s glowing from within.

With ingredients like camellia seed oil and avocado oil, the aptly named Comforting Body Balm helps moisturize and soothe dry skin. Once you’ve experienced Comforting Body Balm for yourself, you’ll want to have it at arm’s reach everywhere — on your nightstand, in your bag, tucked into your desk drawer… Consider it a staple in your winter body care ritual.

WHAT IS THE COMFORTING BODY BALM?

The Comforting Balm is a multipurpose, M.D.-developed must-have. We teamed up with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Renée Snyder, M.D. to find the perfect mix of ingredients to help soothe, smooth, and comfort your skin — everywhere. When your skin is craving moisture and hydration, reach for Comforting Balm.

Our Goddess-in-Chief Alicia Keys also swears by this beloved product offering. “No BS, this is a serious favorite product for me! Comforting Balm can be used all over the body and quenches thirsty skin anywhere,” she said.

NOURISHING INGREDIENTS IN THE COMFORTING BODY BALM

CAMELLIA SEED OIL AND AVOCADO OIL

We also used nourishing ingredients like avocado oil and camellia seed oil to level up the cozy comfort the balm helps provide to skin.

New Orleans-based dietician and holistic nutritionist Amy Davis sings the praises of avocado oil. “Avocado oil is rich in fatty acids that are not only great for heart health and overall wellness, but may be especially beneficial for your skin.”

Camellia seed oil also gets a vote of confidence from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Renée Snyder. “Camellia seed oil has been used for centuries, and it’s very nourishing for the skin due to the omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants,” Dr. Snyder explains. “These along with avocado oil help revitalize the look of dull and dehydrated skin for dewiness.”

SHEA BUTTER

This rich butter from the nut of the Central African shea tree is high in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, and has been used in cosmetics for centuries, dating back to the days of Cleopatra.

Not only does shea butter contain nourishing vitamins A, E, and F, it also provides a boost of hydration to help soften the skin, and its moisturizing powers make it a perfect companion to Comforting Balm’s nourishing oils.

ROSE OF JERICHO

Rose of Jericho is a plant that is celebrated for its ability to restore itself. Nicknamed the “resurrection plant,” this New Mexico native has a long-standing history of symbolizing power, happiness, abundance, and peace — and protection from bad juju.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COMFORTING BODY BALM?

Think of it like comfort food for the skin. Lighter than a cream, thicker than a serum, and its non-greasy feeling, the Comforting Balm can be used practically anywhere on the face and body (Remember to avoid contact with your eyes.)

Apply to rough elbows, dry cuticles, and more. Another plus? Its delicate vanilla aroma is deliciously light.

HOW TO USE THE COMFORTING BODY BALM

Before you break out the Comforting Balm, repeat these words of affirmation: “I surround myself with things that are good for me.” Know that this small act of ritual is just the beginning of all the good you deserve. Savor a moment of extra self-loving care and spritz on our rose water-infused Reviving Aura Face Mist beforehand.

Then, gently unscrew the cap and simply scoop up this soothing skin balm with your fingertips. Apply generously to lips, elbows, cuticles and heels — or anywhere your skin feels dry or like it needs some TLC. Reapply as you desire, anytime your skin is craving a comforting boost of hydration.
