Description

Skin Barrier Balm

An uncomplicated, fragrance-free balm for dry, rough or easily irritated skin. The base is a simple plant-derived wax and oil blend, infused with Kawakawa, Mānuka and Calendula. No shea or mango butter. The result is a balm that glides on easily, melts in smoothly and leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable. No heavy or greasy residue.

There is no added fragrance. No essential oils. No vanilla. It smells faintly of the infused botanicals and oil base. Nothing strong. Nothing perfumed. The finish is clean and simple.

How it feels

On the skin, it feels rich but light. Silky. It melts in fast. Does not leave a heavy feel.
It works well on its own. For a minimal routine. Or with other products, if you use them.

Who it’s for

    • Dry, rough or easily irritated skin on face and body.
    • Elbows, knees, heels and other very dry areas.
    • Nappy areas for little ones (daily use).
    • Hands that need extra care from frequent washing.
    • Anyone who wants a fragrance-free, plant-based balm.
    • Outdoor adventurers, in the garden, camping, or hiking.

Product Colour – Seasonal Variance

Because Eckco formulas are crafted with natural ingredients, subtle variations in colour may appear from batch to batch. This is a natural characteristic of working with plant-based materials and cold-pressed oils.

How to use

Use a small amount on clean, dry skin.
Warm between your fingers.
Press or massage gently over the area that needs care.
Reapply as needed through the day.

For very dry or exposed areas (elbows, heels, hands, face in wind/cold), use a little more and massage in well.

Storage of Product
