If your skin feels tight, flaky, or easily irritated, your barrier is asking for support. The barrier is your body’s frontline shield against moisture loss, microbes, and environmental stressors, and when it becomes compromised the result can be dryness, redness, and flare-ups that feel difficult to soothe. What helps is nourishment from nutrient-dense, whole-plant actives that replenish lipids, calm inflammation, and restore balance.

SMOOTH Body Balm was designed for this purpose. Rich in cold-pressed organic avocado, shiso, and meadowfoam oils, it provides bioavailable nutrients the skin can readily absorb. These living oils deliver essential fatty acids that replenish the barrier and antioxidants that help defend against free-radical damage. The formula is further enhanced with organic essential oils of cypress, geranium, palmarosa, rosemary, and furanocoumarin-free bergamot. Beyond their subtle, fresh fragrance, these botanicals have been studied for their ability to support epidermal cell turnover, reduce visible inflammation, protect against microbial overgrowth that contributes to blemishes, and minimize the look of cellulite and textural irregularities. Some of these compounds even display antiviral and antibacterial activity, including the capacity to disrupt bacterial communication, which is a fascinating emerging area of microbiome science.

Though suitable for all skin types, SMOOTH was formulated with special care for those with dry, eczema, and psoriasis-prone skin. Its richness helps soften rough patches and soothe visible irritation, yet it remains light enough for blemish-prone skin, offering deep replenishment without clogging pores. For melanated skin, SMOOTH helps prevent the dull, ashy look that can follow moisture loss, leaving a luminous finish without heaviness.

While called a body balm, SMOOTH is truly a multitasking essential for the entire family. It can dissolve stubborn mascara when used as a pre-cleanse, serve as a lip balm or cheek highlighter, condition cuticles and elbows, smooth the ends of hair, and calm rashes on little ones. For best results, apply after showering while skin is still damp or keep a jar by the bedside to nourish hands and feet before bed. In summer it provides a healthy, non-greasy glow, and in winter it shields cheeks from harsh winds. The travel size is an ideal companion for everyday life, especially as frequent hand sanitizer use continues to challenge the skin.
