This multi-functional balm has become a signature favorite in the Laurel Skin line, a staple that is reached for as a remedy for a wide spectrum of concerns from extreme dryness, eczema, perioral dermatitis, painful cystic acne, and sensitive allergy-prone skin to the occasional cut, scrape, bug bite, or rash. Formulated with 15 whole plants, Recovery Balm begins with a three-month infusion of traditional wound healing herbs slowly steeped into fresh, unrefined oils. Calendula, Comfrey, Yarrow, Self Heal, and Marshmallow are among the skin-healing allies chosen for their ability to calm inflammation, encourage new cell growth, and help regenerate distressed skin. At the center of the formula is vibrant emerald Tamanu Oil, long valued for its ability to reset and rebalance compromised skin. Its rare plant compounds help calm visible redness and irritation while restoring equilibrium to the skin’s microbiome and lipid barrier. The essential oils in Recovery Balm are microdosed for their therapeutic effects. Lavender, Helichrysum, and Lemon Balm each have an affinity for inflamed and compromised skin, boosting the skin’s natural healing response. Recovery Balm is our only vegan, beeswax-free balm and is especially well-suited for reactive or easily-congested skin.
