ARCANA
Holocene Intense Repair Face Balm
$90.00 $
What is it? Its a rich, multi-tasking treatment balm for the face which addresses the negative impact of the environment on skin, including UV damage, wind, cold, bacteria, and pollution
Notes from the Curator: This nutrient-dense, hydrating formula includes sustainably-harvested Tucuma butter from the Brazilian rainforest for barrier defence and elasticity, Cacay seed oil and Bakuchiol for cell regeneration, and amino acids for pollution defence and tissue repair. Holocene protects, repairs, regenerates, and hydrates through a sumptuous blend of botanical ingredients.
Let’s Get Nerdy: Cacay seed oil, Carrot seed resin, and Bakuchiol extract offer retinol-like effects which are safer and gentler for sensitive skin. Tucuma butter helps skin retain water and contains antimicrobial properties which is more suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin than heavier butters or waxes. Pomegranate and Calendula help repair the effects of UV damage, making this balm an excellent post-sun soother. Elderberry extract is antibacterial, helping to eliminate bacteria which causes breakouts. Neroli, Frankincense, Sandalwood, and Vanilla essential oils are chosen for the skin regenerative properties in addition to offering mood-lifting aromatherapy.
