BOOSTS RADIANCE

"Smooth cured eczema on my legs and made my legs extra smooth! Amazing product!"- Erin O.

ADVANTAGES

Originally formulated to treat our founder’s dry, psoriasis-prone skin, SMOOTH goes beyond conventional balms and petroleum-based creams that merely coat the skin. Instead, SMOOTH blends deeply penetrating botanicals (not just surface occluders) that repair, calm, and stimulate collagen and texture improvement. Its deeply emollient yet fast-absorbing formula is ideal for the body, hands, feet, and lips. And while we cannot formally claim it as a "medication," the numerous testimonials from our customers confirm that SMOOTH is truly remarkable for conditions such as rash, psoriasis, eczema, and other skin imbalances.

ORIGINS

During college, LINNÉ’s founder struggled with dry, itchy skin and recurring psoriasis plaques. While topical steroids and UV therapy provided temporary relief, she sought a gentler, more holistic approach. Alongside lifestyle choices that support skin health from within, she formulated SMOOTH to soothe irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and prevent discomfort from dryness and sensitivity.

Years later, she remains plaque-free, crediting a combination of targeted skincare and internal wellness. SMOOTH has since helped countless others find relief from eczema, rashes, burns, and abrasions, delivering bioavailable nutrients that restore comfort and resilience.

INSTRUCTIONS

Massage SMOOTH into the skin (body, hands, feet, and lips are all fair game) for a radiant glow and lasting hydration.

As a balm cleanser: Apply a pea-sized amount to dry skin, massaging gently to dissolve makeup and impurities. Remove with a warm, damp cloth for soft, clean skin. For deeper nourishment, apply more generously and leave on as a treatment before rinsing off.

As a hair treatment: Warm a small amount between your palms and smooth over dry ends to condition and tame frizz.

A Routine For SMOOTH

For The Face | For The Body

SMOOTH is your rich, comforting finishing balm — the perfect final step for dry, dehydrated, or compromised skin. Its creamy texture restores softness, reinforces the barrier, and locks in lasting moisture. For best results, pair it with CLEANSE and RENEW to create a nourishing, resilience-building face ritual.

Step 1: Massage CLEANSE onto the skin to gently lift impurities while keeping the complexion soft, hydrated, and balanced. Rinse and pat dry.

Step 2: Apply RENEW to hydrate, brighten, and support renewal. This lightweight serum delivers daily skin-strengthening benefits and boosts moisture retention.

Step 3: Warm a small amount of SMOOTH between your palms and press it into the face, neck, and décolleté. The balm melts in easily, cocooning dry skin with a comforting, protective finish that leaves it supple and calm. To use as an overnight mask, apply a slightly thicker layer of SMOOTH as your final step — sealing in hydration for a deeply replenished morning glow.

The result: Soft, nourished, resilient skin with long-lasting comfort — perfectly protected through dry seasons and changing conditions.

SMOOTH is your instant skin rejuvenator, a silky, buttery balm that melts in easily to soften, condition, and protect the skin without any greasiness. For best results, pair it with ACTIVATE and REFRESH to create a revitalizing body ritual that polishes away dullness, replenishes minerals, and seals in moisture for lasting suppleness.

Step 1: Massage ACTIVATE onto damp skin. This exfoliating cleanser uses fine volcanic pumice and invigorating botanicals to smooth roughness, brighten tone, and awaken circulation. Rinse well and pat dry

Step 2: Mist REFRESH generously over the face, neck, and décolleté. This mineral-rich formula delivers trace elements, humectants, and soothing plant extracts to replenish and prepare the skin.

Step 3: Warm SMOOTH between your palms and glide it over the skin, starting at the extremities and moving toward the heart. This fast-absorbing balm softens the skin, supports elasticity, and creates a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss.

The result: smooth, conditioned, and comfortably nourished skin from head to toe, restored with daily care and long-lasting protection.

FAQs

Is SMOOTH suitable for the face?

Yes! SMOOTH deeply moisturizes, strengthens the skin barrier, and promotes cellular renewal. With avocado, palmarosa, and cypress, it enhances tone, elasticity, and radiance, making it a luxurious treatment for both face and body.

How does SMOOTH help with psoriasis?

While psoriasis is an autoimmune condition, maintaining skin hydration, barrier integrity, and inflammation control is key to managing symptoms. SMOOTH is formulated with clinically studied, bioavailable botanicals that help soothe irritation, reduce dryness, and support skin regeneration. Many customers with psoriasis, eczema, and chronic dryness have reported that SMOOTH provides lasting relief where other products have failed, helping to soften plaques, soothe discomfort, and restore skin health.

How can I use SMOOTH as an oil cleanse?

You can use it SMOOTH as an oil cleanser and makeup remover. To double cleanse, use circular motions to gently massage SMOOTH into your skin for about a minute. Give special attention to the hairline and jawline where makeup tends to build up. Use a warm, damp washcloth followed by a lukewarm rinse to remove the balm. Don’t worry if there is some residue, the second cleanse will remove this. Keep your skin damp for the second cleanse with PURIFY or CLEANSE. Again, massage the product in for about a minute, covering the same areas. Rinse, pat dry and immediately follow with your LINNÉ treatment products.

What is “slugging” and how do I do it?

Slugging is the process of applying an occlusive product (in this case oils and waxes) to form a physical layer on your skin. This helps improve the skin barrier function and prevent trans-epidermal water loss. Adding an occlusive to your skincare routine can be particularly beneficial for those with dry, dehydrated, sun damaged or injured skin. As a protective agent they can also prevent irritation from environmental stressors such as wind and pollen. Applying an occlusive, aka slugging, is often done as a final skincare step before bed but is perfect for day time use especially in cold or dry climates. While occlusives prevent moisture loss they aren’t necessarily humectants themselves so you’ll need to first treat your skin to a hydrating step. We recommend a generous misting of REFRESH mineral mist followed by RENEW serum. If you like you can also apply a face oil prior to slugging for additional nourishment. Finally apply SMOOTH or NURTURE balms liberally to seal everything in.

Where does SMOOTH fit in my routine?

SMOOTH is a Step VI. For best results, apply after cleansing, misting, and serums to lock in moisture and provide deep nourishment and barrier support. Use morning and night or as needed for extra protection and replenishment.
