How to use

No matter the type of trouble spots that might pop up, you're covered!

THE SPECIALIST

METHOD #1: SPOT TREAT

To quickly tackle targeted congested spots, apply a thin layer to the site as a leave on. Do not use this method for more than 3 days. Wash hands after use.

METHOD #2: NIGHTLY SERUM

Add one drop to your serum or moisturizer step and mix for a gentle, nightly exfoliating experience to keep skin congestion free.

METHOD #3 ONCE A WEEK WASH-OFF MASK MOMENT

For a more potent experience, after your cleansing step, apply a thin layer to dry skin and let it sit for 10 minutes of me-time. Wash-off and follow with the rest of your normal routine.

BALM VOYAGE

SPOT TREAT

Pesky dry spots can happen to anyone, any skin type, anywhere at probably the most inconvenient moments. Spot treat with Balm Voyage wherever and whenever (lips, chin, elbows - get creative!) to quickly get skin back up to speed.

SLUGGING/EMBALMING METHOD

The balm is designed to melt beautifully and absorb onto skin with a nourishing, non-greasy finish. Apply a thin layer all over face as an overnight mask and wake up to dewy, hydrated skin.

Pssst...did you know?

In the new and improved Balm Voyage, the chemists hand-picked a special type of shea butter that has been clinically tested to improve dry, cracked, chapped lips in just two days!

Ingredients List & Actives Profiles

You shouldn’t need a degree in chemistry to take care of your skin. But, to be clear, someone needs the degree.

Barrier Helper
oil texture close up

1% Ceramide NP

A natural waxy component of skin that is key to a healthy moisture barrier to help support your skin barrier over time. This is the secret sauce that makes Balm Voyage special and not just another quick-fix balm!

Occlusive
waxy goo texture

The chemists' strategic blend, centered around improving the texture of gold standard petrolatum with squalane and flower wax, helps seal in moisture and relieves skin of dry patches caused by pesky outside aggressors without the shiny, greasy finish.

AHA + BHA

18% Mandelic Acid

Mandelic acid is the biggest of the AHA molecules (aka. most gentle). This underrated exfoliant comes with some great testing on its ability to tackle oily skin woes and keeping skin smooth and bright.

2% Salicylic Acid

This infamous chemical exfoliant gets its oily skin benefits because of its unique ability to penetrate pores and target congestion and blackheads.
