Formulator's Notes

The African Botanical Multipurpose Balm is a rich, fragrance-free botanical balm developed to nourish and protect dry skin on the hands, lips and body.

Formulated with African mafura butter, Kalahari melon seed oil and shea butter, this concentrated, water-free balm helps soften rough areas, reduce moisture loss and leave skin feeling smooth and comfortable.

Its blend of botanical oils, nourishing butters and plant-derived wax creates a protective layer that helps maintain skin softness throughout the day.

Ideal for everyday care of dry hands, elbows, knees, cuticles and lips.

Hands & Cuticles: Massage a small amount into clean, dry hands, concentrating on rough areas and cuticles.

Lips: Apply a thin layer to dry lips to soften and help protect against moisture loss. Reapply as needed.

Body: Gently massage into dry areas such as elbows, knees and heels until evenly distributed.

Daily Care: Use throughout the day whenever skin feels dry or needs extra nourishment. A little goes a long way.

Tip: Apply after bathing or handwashing while skin is still slightly damp to help retain moisture.

Formulated without:

- Petroleum jelly or mineral oil
- Liquid paraffin
- Added fragrance or essential oils
- Parabens
- Silicones

1. What is the African Botanical Multipurpose Balm used for?

This versatile botanical balm is designed to nourish and soften dry skin on the hands, lips and body. It is particularly useful for rough elbows, knees, heels and cuticles.

2. Can I use this balm on my lips?

Yes. The balm contains a blend of plant-derived butters, oils and waxes, with no added fragrance or essential oils. Apply a thin layer to dry lips whenever additional moisture protection is needed.

3. Is the balm suitable for sensitive skin?

The formula contains no added fragrance, essential oils, lanolin or mineral oil. However, individual skin sensitivities vary. We recommend patch testing before first use.

4. What makes this balm different from petroleum jelly?

Unlike petroleum jelly, this balm is formulated with African botanical ingredients, including mafura butter and Kalahari melon seed oil, alongside shea butter and sunflower oil. These ingredients provide emollient benefits while candelilla wax helps form a protective layer over the skin.

5. Can I use this balm every day?

Yes. Apply as often as needed, particularly after handwashing, bathing or whenever skin feels dry. Its concentrated, water-free formulation means a small amount is usually sufficient.

6. Does the balm contain fragrance?

No added fragrance or essential oils are included. The balm may have a subtle natural aroma from its botanical butters and oils.

Skin loses moisture continuously, particularly in areas exposed to frequent washing, friction and environmental conditions. This formulation was developed around a simple principle: effective skin care requires both replenishing surface lipids and reducing moisture loss.

I selected African mafura butter and Kalahari melon seed oil for their distinctive fatty acid profiles, combining them with shea butter and high-linoleic sunflower oil to create a nourishing blend of botanical emollients.

The water-free formulation delivers concentrated care without the need for added fragrance.

The result is a versatile balm designed to soften, condition and protect dry areas of the hands, lips and body.
