Yasuni Face Balm
$100.00 $
What is it? Yasuni Face Balm is a light antioxidant and enzymatic balm without any essential oils. It is named after the Yasuni National Park in Ecuador to bring attention to the area which has experienced the consequences of drilling in the region.
Notes from the Curator: This is a unique balm with an unusual texture. It is designed to be harder than most balms so it doesn’t melt in transit. Yasuni sinks in and absorbs beautifully, brightening and refining the skin due the enzymatic action of just the fruit oils alone. It will suit most skin types and earned a spot in our Beauty Box.
Let’s get Nerdy: One of the ingredients in Yasuni is Açai oil. Says Ava, the creator, “The deep green, whole-fruit açai fruit oil we’ve sourced is also the acne sufferer’s dream come true: this very light, extract-like oil heals and dries up acne due to its enzymes and high vitamin C content, and unlike most other effective acne ingredients, it is nonirritating. The açai oil’s anti-acne action is supported by the astringent kokum butter (cold extracted from mangosteen kernels), which helps to minimize pores, speed healing of acne breakouts, and promote skin firmness”.

- About the Brand
Earthwise Beauty was created by Ava Zhan Ava grew in Poland and moved to the U.S. and worked as an editor for a major U.S. publisher. She felt compelled to make and share her love of natural ingredients and skincare crafted from medicinal plants, that felt more satisfying to her than the skincare she found in stores. And so Earthwise was born. Using Ava's products feels like walking deep into lush living forests.
- How to Use
Apply day and night all over the face or just on the more oily, acne-prone, and blackhead-prone areas. Yasuni may be blended with our Farizad's Veil Sun Reflector to add sun protection and to mattify the skin. Yasuni may also be blended with a few drops of a facial oil of choice for a looser, juicier balm.
Your balm may melt in transit, so open the jar carefully upon arrival. If it melts partially or completely, place it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes (just until it solidifies; don't leave it there for too long because then it tends to crack), then store at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Texture changes in 100% natural vegan products are natural under fluctuating temperatures, and do not in any way affect the product's performance or shelf life.
