Herbal actions
Calendula
A go-to herb for active skin, calendula helps repair damage caused by friction, sun, wind, and sweat. Its antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties make it a powerhouse for recovery and resilience.
Comfrey Leaf
Traditionally known as "Knitbone," comfrey supports muscle and ligament recovery and speeds up skin regeneration. It’s especially helpful for scraped, bruised, or overworked skin.
Beeswax
We use premium, unrefined organic beeswax—naturally rich in propolis and pollen. It creates a breathable barrier that protects against chafing, dirt, and moisture, while offering antibacterial and antifungal support.
Cocoa Butter
This rich, plant-based butter deeply hydrates and helps lock in moisture. It forms a protective shield against the elements and supports skin healing—ideal for harsh weather and long sessions outdoors.
Lavender Essential Oil
More than just soothing, lavender fights bacteria and reduces inflammation—key for preventing irritation and infection in high-friction areas.
Mānuka Essential Oil
Uniquely grown in New Zealand, mānuka oil is packed with powerful triketones—natural compounds with exceptional antimicrobial and skin-healing strength. It’s your secret weapon for skin recovery in tough conditions.
