A practical multi-purpose balm for nourishing and protecting dry, normal, and sensitive skin, with uses across the face, body, lips, hands, and hair.

🌿 Concentrated plant-based care — The formula combines organic shea butter with organic coconut, jojoba, and sweet almond oils. These ingredients make it particularly relevant when nourishment, softness, and protection are the main selection criteria.

💛 One balm for several needs — It can be used as everyday face and body care, on dry areas and lips, or as an overnight mask. Its listed application areas also include the hands and hair, reducing the need for several separate products.

🫧 Melting, non-greasy finish — The balm has a silky texture designed to melt into the skin and absorb without leaving a heavy, greasy finish. This makes a rich balm more practical for regular use.

🔥 Warm resinous scent — Frankincense, myrrh, vanilla, and benzoin create a warm, balsamic, woody profile. It is a suitable choice for readers who prefer softly perfumed care with resinous rather than fresh or floral notes.

✅ Clearly documented formulation standards — The product is listed as 100% natural origin, vegan, cruelty-free, and free from endocrine disruptors. Its live certification records include COSMOS Organic and COSMOS Natural.

🇫🇷 Made in France — The product is developed and crafted in Loiret, France, giving readers a clearly identified production origin.

A rich but melting balm that nourishes, repairs, soothes, and protects dry, normal, and sensitive skin — on the face, body, lips, hands, and hair.

🌿 Deep nourishment for dry skin — Organic shea butter, rich in fatty acids, is blended with organic coconut, jojoba, and sweet almond oils. The combination replenishes skin that feels tight or rough and leaves it soft and supple, with a particular affinity for dry and very dry areas.

🛡️ Repairs and shields exposed areas — The plant oils support the natural renewal of the epidermis, while the balm's texture stays on the surface long enough to protect the places that take the most wear: lips, hands, elbows, and weather-exposed skin.

🌸 Gentle enough for sensitive skin — The formula is soothing and free from endocrine disruptors, and its fragrance comes entirely from natural sources. Limonene and geraniol appear on the label because they occur naturally in those essential oils, not as added synthetics.

💧 Absorbs without a greasy film — Jojoba esters together with sunflower seed and acacia flower waxes give the balm its silky, melting feel. It softens on contact with the skin and sinks in, so a rich texture still works for daily use and under clothing.

🔥 A scent that settles the mind — Frankincense opens, myrrh carries the heart, and vanilla with benzoin closes it: warm, resinous, and balsamic. Applied slowly, it turns an everyday step into a moment of calm and emotional balance.

🕯️ One jar, many uses — Daily face and body care, a targeted treatment on dry patches and lips, a rich overnight mask, or a smoothing touch on hands and hair ends. Tocopherol, a natural vitamin E antioxidant, helps keep the oils stable through repeated use.

Four key ingredients define this balm — a nourishing butter, three complementary plant oils, frankincense resin, and vitamin E as a stabilizing antioxidant.

Organic Shea Butter (Vitellaria paradoxa)

• Moisturizes and nourishes both skin and hair, with a composition rich in fatty acids.
• Particularly recommended for dry and very dry skin.

3 Organic Plant Oils — Sweet Almond, Jojoba & Coconut (Prunus amygdalus dulcis · Simmondsia chinensis · Cocos nucifera)

• Together, they nourish the skin and support the renewal of the epidermis.

Frankincense Resin (Boswellia carterii)

• Hand-harvested resin tears from trees growing on the rocky plateaus of Somalia.
• Brings warmth, comfort, and softness — and, in the words of those who created this balm, connects us to our divine spark.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

• A natural antioxidant that protects the plant-based oils in the formula from oxidative degradation and supports the balm's stability over time.

A warm, resinous scent — deep, comforting, and skin-close. The Organic Balm – Baume de Galaad is delicately scented with the warm aromas of frankincense, myrrh, and vanilla, resting on a soft benzoin base. 100% natural origin — only the botanical character of the plants themselves.

🌿 Shea Butter — Africa's Most Sacred Fat

Butyrospermum parkii — the shea tree — grows wild across the savannah belt of West and Central Africa and can live for up to 300 years. Shea butter is extracted from the fatty kernels inside the fruit, cold-pressed and traditionally processed by hand in a labor-intensive process passed down by women for generations. It is one of the richest plant butters known to cosmetics: composed primarily of oleic acid (40–60%) and stearic acid (20–50%), it deeply nourishes and repairs the skin barrier without clogging pores, with a natural fraction of unsaponifiables — triterpenes, tocopherols, phytosterols — that gives it its regenerating and anti-inflammatory reputation.

Did you know? — The shea tree cannot be cultivated on a plantation scale — it produces its first fruit only after 15 to 20 years and only bears significant yields after 45. Every kilogram of shea butter you apply to your skin begins with a tree that was already standing before you were born.

🔥 Frankincense — The Resin of Kings

Boswellia carterii produces its resin as a defence response to injury: when the bark is cut, the tree bleeds a milky sap that hardens into the amber-brown tears collected by hand on the rocky plateaus of Somalia and Ethiopia. Frankincense has been burned in temples, traded along the incense route, and used in embalming and ritual for at least 5,000 years. In modern dermatology, boswellic acids — the resin's active compounds — are studied for their anti-inflammatory and skin-regenerating properties, consistent with this balm's Repairing and Soothing profile.

Did you know? — At the height of the ancient incense trade, frankincense was worth more than gold by weight in the Mediterranean markets. The word itself comes from the Old French franc encens — "pure incense" — reflecting its status as the finest of all aromatic resins.

🪵 Myrrh — The Heart Note With 4,000 Years of History

Commiphora myrrha is frankincense's companion in both botany and history: both are resin-producing desert shrubs of the Burseraceae family, both were among the most precious trade commodities of antiquity, and both appear in the same ancient texts — from Egyptian embalming formulas to the Book of Exodus. In cosmetics, myrrh resin is recognized for its astringent, toning, and skin-conditioning action. In this balm it contributes the warm, balsamic, slightly smoky heart that bridges the bright opening of frankincense and the sweet, lingering base of vanilla and benzoin.

Did you know? — The product name, Baume de Galaad, is a direct reference to a biblical passage (Jeremiah 8:22 — "Is there no balm in Gilead?") describing an ancient healing resin from the region of Gilead (present-day Jordan). The original Balm of Gilead is thought to have been a resin from Commiphora gileadensis — a close relative of the myrrh tree used in this formula.

🍯 Benzoin — The Resin of Calm

Styrax benzoin is a tropical tree native to Sumatra and Java whose resin — collected by tapping the bark — has been traded in Asia and the Arab world for centuries under the name lubān jāwī, "Javanese frankincense." In European medicine it entered through Arabic trade routes and became a fixture of old pharmacopoeias: Friar's Balsam, still used today as an antiseptic inhalant, is a benzoin-based preparation. In perfumery, benzoin absolute is prized as a fixative and base note for its warm, vanilla-like, balsamic sweetness — in this balm it anchors the olfactory trail and extends the longevity of the frankincense and myrrh accord on skin.

Did you know? — The vanilla-like scent of benzoin comes primarily from vanillin — the same compound responsible for the scent of vanilla — which is naturally present in the resin. When combined with actual vanilla in the base of this balm, the effect is self-reinforcing: two botanically unrelated resins converging on the same aromatic molecule.

🌻 Sunflower Wax — The Balm's Architecture

HELIANTHUS ANNUUS SEED WAX is the structural backbone of this balm's texture. Sunflower wax is obtained by dewaxing sunflower oil — separating the solid wax esters that remain naturally present in the crude oil. It melts at skin temperature, giving the balm its characteristic melt-on-contact feel, and forms a protective, breathable film on the skin surface without the heaviness of petrolatum-based alternatives. It is entirely plant-derived and biodegradable.

🌸 Mimosa Flower Wax — The Unexpected Softener

Acacia decurrens flower wax (ACACIA DECURRENS FLOWER WAX) is one of the more unusual ingredients in this formula. Extracted from the flowers of black wattle — a mimosa native to southeastern Australia — it is used in cosmetics for its exceptional skin-softening and film-forming properties. It has a faint, warm, powdery floral character that contributes subtly to the balm's sensory signature. It also belongs to the Caesalpinioideae subfamily, making it botanically distant from the Asteraceae oils elsewhere in the formula — a reminder of how geographically diverse the ingredient sourcing is.

🌰 Jojoba — The Oil That Isn't

Simmondsia chinensis seed oil is technically not an oil at all — it is a liquid wax, composed almost entirely of long-chain wax esters similar in structure to the skin's own sebum. This structural similarity makes it exceptionally stable (it does not oxidize or go rancid like true oils), highly skin-compatible, and non-comedogenic. It originates from the Sonoran Desert of the US–Mexico border region, where indigenous Tohono O'odham people have used it for centuries for skin and hair care. In this balm, jojoba contributes to the non-greasy, fast-absorbing texture.

Did you know? — Jojoba wax esters are so structurally similar to sperm whale oil — once used extensively in cosmetics and industrial lubricants — that the plant was actively investigated in the 1970s as a sustainable alternative when sperm whale hunting was banned. It is now one of the most widely used cosmetic ingredients in the world.

🛡️ Tocopherol — Vitamin E as Guardian

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) is the last active ingredient in the INCI list, present in small quantities but with a precise function: it acts as an antioxidant stabilizer, protecting the polyunsaturated fatty acids in the oil base from oxidation. Without it, the natural oils in this balm would become rancid far more quickly. It is a common but critical ingredient in oil-based formulations — a silent guardian of shelf life and formula integrity.

What is Baume de Galaad?

In ancient times, the Balm of Gilead was a rare perfume and symbol of healing that the Queen of Sheba offered to King Solomon. Aimée de Mars draws on that heritage for this 100% natural, multi-purpose face and body balm — certified Cosmos Organic and Cosmos Natural, developed and crafted in Loiret, France.

What does it do?

It repairs, nourishes, and protects. Its silky, melting texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin satin-smooth. It can be used as a daily face and body moisturiser, as a targeted treatment on dry areas and lips, or as a deeply nourishing overnight mask.

What are the key ingredients?

Organic shea butter is the base, blended with three certified organic vegetable oils — coconut, jojoba, and sweet almond — all rich in fatty acids. Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) resin tears are hand-harvested from rocky plateaus in Somalia. The formula also contains vitamin E (tocopherol) as an antioxidant, and a natural perfume composed of frankincense, myrrh, and vanilla.

Why frankincense?

Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) resin is hand-harvested from trees on the rocky plateaus of Somalia. Warm, resinous, and slightly spicy, it brings depth and a sense of calm. Its trail is subtle, soothing, and enduring — and has been used in skincare traditions for centuries.

What does it smell like?

Warm and resinous with sweet, balsamic accents — frankincense, myrrh, and vanilla. The scent is enveloping without being heavy and lingers softly on the skin.

Which skin types is it for?

Dry, normal, and sensitive skin. Its richness makes it especially suited to dry and very dry skin, but the non-greasy, melting texture means it absorbs well without leaving a film.

Will it feel greasy?

No. Despite the richness of shea butter and the plant oils, the texture is silky and non-greasy — it melts on contact and absorbs without residue.

How do I use it?

Apply to face and/or body as a daily moisturiser, or focus it on particularly dry areas (lips, hands, elbows). It also works as an overnight mask: apply a more generous layer at night and let it work while you sleep.

Where on the body can I use it?

Face, all body, lips, hands, and hair. It is a true multi-use balm.

Can I use it on my hair?

Yes — it is suitable for all hair types, from very dry to oily, fine to thick. Use a small amount on dry ends or lengths as a finishing or treatment step.

What are the skincare goals it targets?

Nourishing, protecting, repairing, softening, soothing, and plumping.

Does it contain allergens?

Yes — limonene and geraniol, both naturally present in the plant extracts and natural perfume used. They are not added synthetically. Full details are listed in the Precautions section.

Is it certified organic?

Yes — it is certified Cosmos Organic and Cosmos Natural. It is 100% natural origin, free from endocrine disruptors, vegan, and cruelty-free.
