NIGHT MILK CONTOUR BALM / Rejuvenating Face Refine
This is one close to my heart – I wanted to work with milk for so long but I'm no fan of cows milk, sheep milk has a very funky smell, and freshly powdered goats milk is just impossible to get hold of in this country. I did suggest catching the wild goats wandering around our forrest at some point, but Christo said that's a step too far.
Then I came across Australian camel milk one day. I had forgotten about the large wild herds roaming the Australian outback, causing terrible damage to the fragile native eco system. Over the past few years, a few visionary farmers have started domesticating the herds to get them off the land, and build wonderful small businesses selling Camel milk with a nutrient profile far superior to any other milk around.
Used in skincare, the natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), immunoglobulins, vitamins and minerals unique to Camel milk deeply penetrate the skin to repair oxidative damage, get to the heart of inflammatory conditions and enhance collagen production. And it smells amazing!
I paired the milk with a synergistic mix of sun-infused botanical extracts, Peruvian Jojoba Oil, Sumac Wax, to bring you a rejuvenating face balm, composed to gently exfoliate, deeply hydrate and refine. Infused with elastin boosting Iris root, super antioxidant rare edelweiss, hydrating cherry blossom, and re-mineralising pearl extract.
Super powered by our signature SACRED TRINITY CHARGE™ of Frankincense, Myrrh, Vanilla, Saffron, Light Root and 24k Gold to balance body-soul-spirit alignment.
I hope you'll love this as much as I do!

Christo said it smells like being back in the Omani desert, drinking milky Karak tea – not too sweet, with a lingering Vanilla spice and a dance of Frankincense. Something alpine, herbacous coming through and a faint note of the violet/licorice hued Iris root. Something that reminds me of my childhood, something that's imprinted in my DNA, a balsam that comforts my soul and heals my heart. I feel safe.

*Certified organic **certified Demeter biodynamic ^wildcrafted “non-nano/cert cosmetic. Extracts are sun-infused for a minimum of 4 months in Demeter certified biodynamic olive oil. Botanicals are hand picked, air dried or sun cured. Resins are fair trade.
All our extracts are made by sun-infusing whole plant material into early harvest virgin cold pressed biodynamic Olive oil. First harvest, unripe Olives yield a beautifully nutrient oil with spectacularly high phenolic content, which stabilises and naturally preserves not only our extracts but also our skin.
In this ancient method of bioactive botanical extraction, we co-infuse all the compositions botanicals together, so they commune and synergise, enhancing each other's potency and bioavailablity.
Each plant component has a specific purpose that is intrinsically linked to other compounds. There is massive evidence now that synergistic whole plant extracts are much more powerful than isolated, single components.
