Sanctuary Barrier Balm

Description

Live Botanical Sanctuary Barrier Balm offers refuge for dry, sensitive skin, providing comforting moisture and a soft, breathable finish. This essential oil-free balm is thoughtfully formulated with nutrient-rich Amazonian plant butters and oils that melt effortlessly into the skin, creating a soothing final step in any skincare ritual.

Featuring naturally occurring plant sterols, unrefined phospholipids, and tropical botanicals like cupuaçu, ucuuba, and buriti, this balm helps support the skin’s natural barrier while maintaining hydration. The rich texture forms a protective layer that cushions the skin against dryness and external stressors. With regular use, skin feels soft, calm, and comfortably moisturized.

HOW TO USE IT

Apply as the final layer in your skincare routine. For best results, ensure the skin is damp to improve moisture function. It can also be used as a restorative night mask by applying a thicker layer, allowing a slow absorption while you sleep.

During warmer months or when not as dry, mix in your palm with a hydrating serum to create a day cream for a lighter application.
