Frankincense, Myrrh, and Spikenard — the world's most revered botanicals, named through centuries of worship, anointing, and healing. Now rediscovered by modern science for the way they soothe, revive, and visibly transform the skin. The Healing Balm carries all three sacred restoratives into the skin through a gentle complex of shea, jojoba, and vitamin E that calms, strengthens, and softens. What time and stress wear down, it helps restore.

Apply to cleansed face, neck, or any area in need of nourishment. Warm a small amount between fingertips and press gently into the skin. Best used in the evening before bed, when the skin does its deepest repair, for maximum absorption.
For external use only. Perform a patch test prior to use. Discontinue if irritation occurs. This product contains essential oils — consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or have sensitivities.
Solid at rest. The moment warmth meets it — the heat of your hands, the temperature of your skin — it releases. Not an oil. Not a cream. The balm.
Upon contact, the aroma blooms into its final form: herbaceous frankincense opening bright and camphorous, giving way to fig, resin, and a spice the memory cannot quite place. It absorbs immediately and dries down slowly, leaving warmth, a soft gloss, and the scent of sacred earth.

Biblical heritage. Biological intelligence. Modern science.
Three Ingredients. Centuries of Use.
Skin science rooted in millennia of use.
Frankincense, Myrrh, and Spikenard appear at the most significant moments in human history. Modern science has spent decades confirming what the ancient world practiced without question. Combined as a triad, their effect on skin is greater than any one alone.
Frankincense · 01
Boswellia Frereana
Resin Oil Somaliland · Certified Organic01
The King of Frankincense — the highest grade, prized above the common varieties most skincare uses. Its monoterpene complex delivers real antioxidant defense against the environmental stress that ages skin, while supporting the barrier and visible renewal — the firmer, smoother, more even-looking complexion of skin working as it should.
Burned in temple worship and carried as one of the three gifts to Christ — revered for over 4,000 years.

Spikenard · 02
Nardostachys Jatamansi
Root Extract Himalayan Range · Wild Harvested02
The rarest of the three, wild-gathered from the high Himalaya. Among the most studied of all calming botanicals — its sesquiterpene alcohols, led by spathulenol, work to soothe the look of reactive, stressed, and reddened skin and restore a settled, even calm. Its deep, meditative aroma grounds the senses as the actives work, the quiet anchor beneath frankincense and myrrh.
Worth a year's wages — the oil Mary poured over Jesus Christ's feet in an act of profound devotion.

Myrrh · 03
Commiphora Myrrha
Resin Oil Somaliland · Certified Organic03
The resin of restoration — for thousands of years myrrh was used to dress wounds and in anointing, burial, and sacred use, its name spoken at the most solemn moments of human history. Rich in curzerene and furanoeudesma-diene, it brings real antioxidant defense and a soothing, astringent character that calms and tones the look of distressed, weathered skin. Where frankincense renews, myrrh restores.
One of the three gifts carried to Christ, present at His birth and His burial — where some seventy-five pounds of myrrh and aloes were brought to anoint Him.

The Most Precious
BelovedSpikenard
Poured from an alabaster jar by Mary to anoint Jesus Christ — an act of devotion He said would be remembered wherever the gospel is told. Spikenard was among the most precious substances of the ancient world, costing as much as a year's wages. Its rarity confined its use to anointing the sacred, honoring the beloved, and celebrating the departed. Nard was prized as one of the finest perfumes of the age.
An ingredient of wonder, it grows in a single region on earth — the alpine Himalayas, between 9,000 and 16,000 feet. Its roots yield a rare concentration of sesquiterpenes long valued to quiet the look of stressed, sensitive skin and restore a visible sense of calm.

A paradox betweenrich and light.
Solid at rest. The moment warmth meets it, it releases to the heat of your hands and the temperature of your skin. Nothing quite like it exists. Not an oil. Not a cream. The balm. Upon contact with skin, the aroma blooms into its final form. Open it to meet the scent of sacred earth.

I LOVEDDDDD my healing balm, I use it every night and sometimes in the morning. It is the only skin care I use other than washing my face with soap. My skin is soft and glowy and I love knowing that everything is non toxic as that is so important when women are so exposed to chemicals in the aesthetic industry. Will be purchasing again. It has an earthy sent to it but it's all natural so that's as to be expected.
