balms for sensitive & rosacea-prone skin
The most important thing for me when I shop for any organic skincare is that it be gentle on my rosacea-prone skin. There’s nothing worse than having a reaction to a product because our skin doesn’t agree with an ingredient!
Below I’m sharing some of my favorite balms that have worked really well for me but as always, you’ll have to test these for yourself as your skin may react differently than mine.
Although this is a round-up of balms for rosacea-prone skin, I feel that they are also great for sensitive, thirsty skin, especially if you need extra hydration in cold winter months.
Quick tips to shop smartly:
✩ Ask for samples, it’ll save you money in the long run
✩ Talk to your holistic facialist and ask what she recommends for your skin
✩ Always patch test
✩ Read the ingredients, organic and natural doesn’t mean “gentle” especially if you have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin

Calm Skin Calendula
After testing SO MANY balms on the market and never finding one that contained ALL the ingredients I wanted to soothe my rosacea-prone (redness, dryness, itchiness…) I decided to create… my own!
The Calendula Balm with Rose EOS is deeply nourishing and calming to inflamed skin.
I added a few drops of PURE Rose essential oil (even though it is THE MOST EXPENSIVE essential oil on the market!) because Rose is the Queen of Flowers with powerful healing properties.
I chose the ingredients intentionally as I wanted you to experience the ULTIMATE in balms (not all balms are made equal) and treat your skin to the best, most active botanicals.
The carrier oils were infused with Calendula (grown in my garden!) for over 6 months for maximum potency.

Blue Goddess Anti-Redness + Extreme Hydration Balm
The Blue Goddess Anti-Redness + Extreme Hydration Balm comes to the rescue to ease inflammation, reduce redness and quench the most thirsty skin.
This balm, formulated as a non-occlusive, waterless and waxless concentrate, invites you to pamper your skin and ease your mind thanks to Blue Tansy’s calming properties. As you warm the balm into your hands, it will transform into an aromatic facial oil that will penetrate deeply.
Blue tansy acts on a cellular level, where she relieves heat to reduce skin inflammation and redness.
Applied topically, the Blue Goddess works her magic to help clear blemishes, rashes, psoriasis, rosacea, and all forms of acne.
You may call upon Blue Goddess when your skin is in need of soothing, cooling, and quenching.
As an aromatic essential oil, Blue Tansy is known to help uplift low mood, reduce anxiety and enhance deep, rejuvenating sleep.
