Calendula Balm Plus™
The “Plus” your complexion deserves.
This isn’t your everyday calendula balm. We’ve taken what calendula does beautifully—calm and comfort—and amplified it with rosehip and sea buckthorn oils, plus a whisper of bee pollen. The result? A balm that doesn’t just soothe; it transforms.
Rich, golden, and concentrated. For skin that needs serious restoration. When moisturiser isn’t enough anymore.

Watch Your Skin Remember What It's Capable Of
You’ll feel it working from the first application. That tight, uncomfortable feeling disappears. Your skin drinks in the oils and looks immediately softer, more comfortable. There’s a luminosity that wasn’t there before—not greasy, just healthy and alive.
But the real magic happens over time. Those old acne marks that have been there forever? They start to fade. The uneven patches smooth out. Your skin begins to look younger, fresher, more resilient. It’s like watching your complexion remember what it’s capable of.
This works because we’ve matched what your skin naturally knows how to do. The rosehip oil contains the same vitamin A compounds your skin uses to renew itself. Sea buckthorn brings omega-7—that rare fatty acid that makes skin look plump and vital. The bee pollen adds proteins and vitamins that support your skin’s own repair processes. Together with our calendula-infused olive oil base, they create something your skin recognises and knows how to use.
Perfect for mature skin, healing skin, tired skin, or simply skin that deserves more.
Ingredients & Composition
Nature's retinol alternative. This precious oil contains vitamin A compounds that promote cell turnover and regeneration, visibly improving the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. Essential fatty acids strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture, while vitamin C brightens dull complexions and evens tone. The antioxidants fight free radical damage and support collagen production, softening fine lines and improving elasticity. Its anti-inflammatory properties calm reactive skin while supporting tissue renewal. Watch your complexion transform—smoother texture, more even tone, renewed radiance. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, powerful enough for visible repair.
Our signature infusion. We steep whole calendula flowers in extra virgin olive oil until it transforms into liquid gold—a process that captures the plant's full anti-inflammatory and regenerative power. This infusion calms irritated skin, from eczema to psoriasis, while supporting tissue repair and natural healing processes. The antioxidants fight free radicals and support collagen production, softening the appearance of fine lines. Rich in beneficial fats, it forms a protective barrier that locks in moisture and improves elasticity. Gentle enough for the most sensitive skin, potent enough to deliver visible results.
The omega-7 powerhouse. This vibrant orange oil delivers rare omega-7 fatty acids that strengthen your skin's barrier and maintain deep moisture. Packed with vitamins A, C, and E plus potent antioxidants, it fights free radical damage while improving elasticity and evening out tone. The carotenoids protect against UV and pollution damage, reducing the appearance of fine lines. Its unique fatty acid profile helps regulate oil production—balancing both dry and oily areas while supporting conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Watch dull skin transform into something radiant and resilient. This is the oil that makes your complexion glow from within.
Nature's protective seal. This golden wax creates a breathable barrier that locks in moisture and shields skin from environmental damage without clogging pores. Rich in vitamin A and antioxidants, it supports cell regeneration and collagen production, helping to soften fine lines while maintaining elasticity. The anti-inflammatory properties calm irritated skin—from eczema to rosacea—while its emollient nature keeps skin soft and hydrated. Despite forming a protective layer, beeswax remains non-comedogenic, making it suitable even for acne-prone skin. It helps minor cuts and abrasions heal while reducing itching and discomfort. This is what keeps all the beneficial ingredients working where they're needed most.
Nature's nutrient powerhouse. This golden treasure contains a complex array of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that nourish skin at the cellular level. Its potent antioxidants—including flavonoids and hydroxy acids—fight free radical damage while reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The anti-inflammatory compounds calm redness and irritation, while antimicrobial agents like pinocembrin help combat acne-causing bacteria. By promoting collagen production and strengthening the skin barrier, bee pollen improves firmness and elasticity. It stimulates blood flow to skin cells, supporting natural detoxification and repair processes. A concentrated source of skin-supporting nutrients that helps your complexion heal, renew, and thrive.
The dual protector. This powerful antioxidant works two ways—protecting your skin and preserving the formula. For your skin, it neutralises free radicals that cause premature ageing while strengthening the moisture barrier to prevent water loss. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated skin and help with conditions like eczema. By promoting collagen production and improving elasticity, it helps soften fine lines and even skin tone. For the formula, vitamin E prevents the precious oils from oxidising, maintaining their potency and extending shelf life naturally. It ensures every ingredient stays fresh and effective from first use to last—protection that works inside the jar and on your skin.

Preserved in Amber Glass
Why Amber Glass? Performance Through Protection.
When formulating our products, the vessel matters as much as what it contains. Amber glass represents our commitment to preserving botanical potency and delivering measurable results.
The Science of Preservation
Amber glass blocks 90-95% of UV radiation through iron and sulfur compounds integrated into the glass structure. This selective light filtration prevents photodegradation—the breakdown of active compounds when exposed to light. For formulations rich in antioxidants, essential oils, and botanical extracts, this protection translates directly to maintained efficacy.
Studies demonstrate vitamin C serums in amber glass retain potency three times longer than those in clear containers. Essential oils maintain their therapeutic properties. Botanical extracts preserve their bioactive compounds. This isn’t an aesthetic choice—it’s performance preservation.
Chemical Integrity
Glass is chemically inert. Unlike plastic containers that can leach plasticisers or react with essential oils, glass maintains absolute barrier integrity. No migration, no interaction, no compromise. Your formulation remains exactly as crafted, from first application to last.
The impermeable nature of glass also prevents moisture ingress and oxidation—two primary causes of product degradation. Combined with light protection, this creates optimal preservation conditions for our unrefined, organic ingredients.
Measurable Benefits
- Extended Potency: Active ingredients maintain efficacy throughout the product’s lifespan
- Texture Stability: Formulations retain their intended melt point and absorption rate
- Scent Preservation: Natural aromatic compounds remain true without oxidation
- Colour Integrity: Botanical ingredients maintain their natural hues
Sustainable by Design
Amber glass is infinitely recyclable without quality degradation. Each jar can be repurposed, recycled, or returned to the glass stream indefinitely. This aligns with our commitment to considered production—creating products that perform without environmental compromise.
Performance through protection. Results preserved in amber.
This balm is rich and concentrated—a little goes far.
Evening ritual: After cleansing, warm a pea-sized amount between your fingers until it melts to oil. Press onto slightly damp skin as your final step. For extra nourishment, layer over your serum of choice—the Restorative Phyto-Serum Oil™ for mature skin, Bio-Lipid Serum Oil for balance, or Hyaluronic & Vitamin C Serum for brightness. The balm seals everything in beautifully.
Targeted care: For marks, scars, or areas that need extra attention, massage a small amount directly onto the area using circular motions. Morning and evening for best results.
Intensive treatment: Once a week, apply a generous layer as a 20-minute mask. Tissue off excess or massage in the remainder. Your skin will look like you’ve had a facial.
Body care: Perfect for dry patches, elbows, heels, or anywhere that needs serious moisture. Especially good on stretch marks—be patient and consistent.
This “Plus” formula is designed for skin that needs more than basic care:
Perfect for: Mature skin seeking elasticity and radiance. Very dry or dehydrated skin needing deep nourishment. Skin with marks or uneven texture wanting visible improvement. Anyone whose complexion looks tired and needs revival.
Good for: Weather-stressed or environmentally challenged skin. As a targeted treatment for specific concerns. Layered with serums for a complete ritual.
Consider carefully if: Your skin runs oily—use as a targeted treatment only, not all over. You prefer lightweight textures—this is intentionally rich.
The balm works beautifully alone or as the final step after your favourite serum. Two or three good products are better than ten average ones.
Your balm is alive with botanical oils and natural compounds. Here’s how to keep it at its best.
Simple care: Store in a cool, dry place—heat can soften the texture more than intended. Keep the lid tight between uses to preserve the natural aroma. Use within 6-12 months of opening for peak potency, though it remains safe beyond that.
What makes it special: Every jar is slightly different. The golden-orange colour might be deeper or lighter depending on when we sourced the sea buckthorn. The texture might be firmer in winter, softer in summer. The natural scent varies with each batch of botanicals.
These aren’t flaws—they’re proof you’re holding something real. Mass-produced products are identical because they’re synthetic. Ours change because nature changes. The rosehip oil from spring harvest differs from autumn—the bee pollen’s colour shifts with what flowers the bees visited.
We see these variations as beautiful—each batch carries the character of its season. Your jar is genuinely unique, made from ingredients that were growing in soil months ago, not synthesised in a lab. That’s the difference between natural and “naturally-derived.”
If your balm feels firmer than expected, warm it between your fingers. If the colour seems different from the photos, celebrate—you have something no one else has. This is what real skincare looks like.
We use potent botanicals. Here’s what you should know.
Before first use: Patch test if you have sensitive skin—apply a small amount behind your ear or inner wrist and wait 24 hours. Your skin will tell you if it’s happy. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use. Listen to your skin; it knows best.
Important to know: This balm contains beeswax and bee pollen. If you’re allergic to bee products, this isn’t for you. All our products are made in the same workshop where we also use nut oils and essential oils. While we clean thoroughly between batches, those with severe allergies should be aware. Not for children under 3—these botanicals are formulated for adult skin.
External use only. Keep away from the eyes. Don’t ingest, no matter how good it smells.
Our promise: These are cosmetic products designed to improve your skin’s appearance and comfort. They’re not medicine. We can’t and don’t claim to treat medical conditions. If you’re pregnant, nursing, or have health concerns, check with your doctor first—bring our ingredient list.
Everything we say about our products is based on research, testing, and customer experience, but it’s not medical advice. We’re skincare makers, not doctors.
