Radiant Light Facial Balm is a concentrated, anti-aging moisturizer that is unique and gorgeous in color. The vibrant orange pigment comes from sea buckthorn and a red algae extract called astaxanthin. Theseextracts are antioxidants thatlend slight tinting to your complexion while shielding your skin from harmful UV rays. Intensely hydrating and nourishing, our facial balm is made of whole plant oils that are solid at room temperature yet instantly melt into your skin. Vitamin C boosts collagen to renew and rejuvenate your skin. The sumptuous scent includes rose and frankincense that provide skincare and aromatherapy benefits. Although this balm is brightly pigmented, it will not stain your skin. The pigmentsthemselves are antioxidant, skin-loving, and quickly absorbed into your skin. Lastly, Radiant Light Facial Balm is a Vegan product.
Radiant Light seals in moisture. It can be used as your primary moisturizer forboth day and nighttime skin repair. The occlusive nature of this balm helps lock in hydration for longer periods, making it a great choice for overnight use.
We recommend it for all skin types; normal, oily, combination, and especially dry. Sensitive skin also benefits. Being a highly concentrated product, you can also use it totarget specific areas of dryness, irritation, and hyperpigmentation.
HOW BALMS DIFFER FROM MOISTURIZERS
Balms are entirely composed of oil-based ingredients. Moisturizers are made of both oiland water-based ingredients. Usually, Moisturizers contain a higher percentage ofwater-based ingredients. Besides water, other examples include Aloe Vera, Rose Water, and Green Tea extract. This oil and water combination results in a moisturizer and is a noticeably different consistency than that of a balm. Moisturizers tend to absorb more quickly and feel lighter on the skin. Balms yield a thicker texture that in and of itself, is unique. Balms will feel heavier and more protective on the skin than moisturizers.
Highlights of this thicker texture can especially benefitdry or dehydrated skin.
Balms are excellent for use in cold and/or dry climates, where skin is prone to moisture loss. Using it during cold weather is especially comforting.
Shea and cocoa butter provide a rich and protective barrier that also relieves and calms skin. Using Radiant Light as an after-sun recovery treatment is a wonderful go-to. It issoothing and effective in reducing redness and irritation.
THE PROCESS
We make our balms in small batches that arehand poured. We then refrigerate themuntil they are shipped.
RADIANT LIGHT HELPS WITH HYPERPIGMENTATION
Radiant Light Facial Balm is also designed to help with hyperpigmentation. BothAstaxanthin and Sea Buckthorn extracts have been shown to help brighten skin andreduce dark spots plus improve overall skin tone. Specifically, these extracts:
Inhibits Melanin Production* – Astaxanthin can help regulate tyrosinase, an enzymeinvolved in melanin synthesis, which contributes to hyperpigmentation.*Melanin is the substance that your skin produces resulting in your skin pigment.
Protects Against UV Damage –It has photoprotective properties that help preventsun-induced pigmentation by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation caused by UVexposure.
Reduces Oxidative Stress – As a carotenoid (pigments that are in plants and algae),astaxanthin fights free radicals, which can worsen hyperpigmentation and cause unevenskin tone.
Improves Skin Barrier Function – By strengthening the skin’s defense, it can helprepair and prevent further pigmentation issues.
Rich in Vitamin C –Sea Buckthorn contains a high amount of vitamin C, which helps inhibit melanin production, leading to a brighter complexion and a reduction in dark spots.
Packed with Antioxidants –It has powerful antioxidants like vitamin E, carotenoids,and flavonoids (plant chemicals that produce the vibrant colors contained in plants thathave antioxidant properties) which helps fight oxidative stress (UV radiation that changesyour skin cell’s DNA and causes wrinkles, sun damage, dark spots) and reducepigmentation caused by sun exposure.
Promotes Skin Regeneration – The high concentration of omega fatty acids (omega-3, 6, 7, and 9) supports skin barrier repair, speeding up the healing of damaged skinand reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Hydrates and Nourishes –Its fatty acid content keeps skin moisturized, preventingirritation that can worsen pigmentation issues.
Reduces Inflammation –Sea Buckthorn has anti-inflammatory properties, helping tocalm redness, irritation, and acne-induced pigmentation.
RADIANT LIGHT PROVIDES LIPID BARRIER PROTECTION
The lipid barrier (also called the skin barrier or moisture barrier) is the outermost layer of your skin that acts as a protective shield. It consists of skin cells held together by lipids (like ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol), much like a brick wall where the skin cells are the bricks and the lipids are the mortar.
Functions of the Lipid Barrier:
Locks in Moisture – Prevents water loss (aka transepidermal water loss, or TEWL)and keeps skin hydrated.
Shields Against Irritants & Pathogens – Blocks bacteria, pollution, and allergens frompenetrating the skin.
Protects Against Environmental Stressors – Helps defend against UV rays,temperature changes, and harsh weather.
Maintains Skin Balance – Regulates oil production and keeps skin from becoming toodry or too oily.
Signs of a Damaged Lipid Barrier-If your skin has a damaged lipid barrier you mightnotice these issues:
-
- Dryness, flakiness, or tightness
- Redness or irritation
- Sensitivity or burning when applying skincare
- Increased breakouts or inflammation
- Dull, rough texture

Besides being recyclable, you can reuse these jars.For example, they canbe reusedforstoring bulk teas and fresh spices.
Additionally, facial balms are considered more sustainable than traditional moisturizersfor the following reasons:

Longer Shelf Life -Because balms lack water, they are less prone to bacterial growth,extending their shelf life.
Less Energy & Water Usage in Production - Manufacturing water-based moisturizersrequire more energy to process, emulsify, and preserve. Facial balms, being oil-based,require less energy and fewer resources for production.
More Concentrated & Less Product Needed -Since balms are highly concentrated, a smaller amount is required per application, leading to longer times between purchases.
No Harmful Ingredients to the Environment -Our facial balms contain natural, biodegradable ingredients.
Lower Carbon Footprint in Transportation - Since balms are more compact andconcentrated, less product volume is needed per unit, reducing shipping weight andemissions.
