For skin that’s tight, sore, cracked, irritated, or just plain fed up

With the weather getting colder, wetter and windier, our skin needs a bit of extra love and care.

Your skin acts as a natural barrier against the cold and wet. Constant temperature changes, harsh winds, and low humidity all draw out moisture and natural oils from your skin.

Now, more than ever, it is important to care for your skin.

Why not start by moisturising, and protecting what protect you?

WHY BALMS (THE SCIENCE BIT, BUT CUTE)

All of your balms are beeswax-heavy, which means they act as barrier creams.

Beeswax has magical properties:

  • seals moisture into the skin
  • protects against wind, cold, and water
  • helps prevent further moisture loss

That’s why balms often work better than lotions in winter or harsh conditions — they don’t just moisturise, they shield.

🍯 Honey Hush

Soft. Protective. Calm.

Gentle moisture + barrier support.

Our simplest balm for the most sensitive of skin to the roughest.
Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it helps draw moisture into the skin and hold onto it. That’s especially helpful when skin feels tight, cracked, or rough.
It’s also soothing and barrier-supportive, which makes it good for:

  • very dry or compromised skin
  • lips that keep splitting
  • sore patches that need comfort, not stimulation

Honey Hush is gentle, protective, and supportive — ideal when skin needs soothing, not fixing.

🌸 Coven Kiss

Gentle. Loving. Calm

Comfort for sensitive skin
Rose is known for its soothing and balancing properties. It helps calm irritation and redness, which often go hand-in-hand with dry skin.
Peony supports softness and eases that tight, reactive feeling.
Helpful when dry skin feels:

  • sensitive
  • irritated
  • overstimulated

Coven Kiss is less about “repair” and more about gentle comfort and softness, which matters when skin is sore and fed up.


🔥 Tough Love

Soothing. Repair. Warmth

Support for angry skin.

Calendula is well known for supporting skin repair and soothing soreness.
Turmeric helps calm irritation and supports the skin barrier. It’s used for dry skin, acne, and moisturising in holistic medicine.
Ginger encourages warmth and circulation, which can help when skin feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Cinnamon and geranium add balance to the mix.
Best for:

  • cracked or rough areas
  • hands, knuckles & cuticles – areas that take a beating in cold weather
  • skin exposed to cold, wind, or friction

When skin needs backup, not babying.
