When we formulated our Calendula & Sea Buckthorn Lip Balm, we knew it was special. What we didn't expect? Just how many ways our customers would find to use it. Here are six of our favorites — including one that might surprise you.
1. Dry, chapped lips (the obvious one)
Let's start with the classic. Calendula soothes and calms irritated, flaky lips while Sea Buckthorn's rare omega-7 fatty acids replenish moisture at a cellular level. Apply morning and night — or any time your lips need a rescue.
2. Sunburn relief on the face
This is the one that surprises people most. Calendula is a well-known anti-inflammatory herb that has been used for centuries to calm irritated, sun-stressed skin. A thin layer of this balm applied to a mildly sunburned nose, cheeks, or forehead provides immediate soothing relief and helps support the skin's natural healing process. No harsh chemicals, no synthetic fragrances — just botanicals doing what they do best.
3. Dry skin patches
Got a dry patch on your chin, around your nose, or on your brow? This balm glides on and creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture while the Sea Buckthorn and Calendula get to work underneath. Perfect for winter skin.
4. Cuticle care
Dry, ragged cuticles meet their match. Rub a small amount into the base of each nail before bed and wake up to noticeably softer cuticles. The vitamin E and omega-rich oils absorb beautifully overnight.
5. Under-eye dryness
The skin under your eyes is some of the thinnest on your body — and it shows dryness fast. A tiny dot of this balm patted gently under the eye area provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration without irritation. Safe for sensitive skin.
6. Eyebrow grooming
A clean-beauty alternative to brow gels — use a very small amount to tame and shape brows while conditioning the hairs and the skin beneath. Bonus: no synthetic hold agents or alcohols.
Why it works for so much more than lips
The secret is in the ingredients. Calendula is one of the most versatile botanical healers in skincare — anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich, and gentle enough for the most sensitive skin. Sea Buckthorn is packed with vitamins C, E, and omega-7, which actively support skin repair and hydration. Together, they create a formula that works wherever your skin needs a little extra love.
