About Aura Balms
Aura Balms makes simple moisturizing care with a short ingredient list. Every formula uses a few familiar ingredients, each with a clear purpose.
Care notes
Keep water out of the glass jar. Heat softens the balm. For a longer guide, read How to use tallow balm or What’s in the jar.
Good to know.
Does this smell like beef?
It has a quiet fat note closer to butter than dinner. A loud beefy smell is a quality problem. Write us.
Is this a treatment for a skin condition?
No. We make simple moisturizing care. We do not treat, cure, or heal skin conditions. We cannot diagnose a skin condition. Ask your clinician. Patch test.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes. Start with a pea-size amount and keep it away from the eye area and broken skin.
How much do I use?
Start with a pea-size amount for the face and a little more for hands.
Will it feel greasy?
It is a rich balm. Use a thin film. If you see frosting, you used too much.
How should I store it?
Keep water out of the glass jar and store it away from heat, which can soften the balm.
Is it vegan?
No. It contains rendered beef fat and honey.
What about honey allergies?
Contains honey. Honey can cause allergic reactions. If you know you react to honey or other bee products, skip this jar. Everyone else: patch test on a small area first.
Can I use this instead of the chapstick?
Use the balm on face, hands, and body. The chapstick is made for lips and comes in a slider tin.
Can I return it?
Unused items may be returned within 14 days of delivery. Read our return policy for details.
