A super-moisturising organic reddish pink tinted balm with a naturally derived pinky red tint for lips and cheeks. Made with wild alkanet root, wild indigo root, madder root, and organic cold pressed olive oil. Thickened with naturally fragrant beeswax and scented with sweet orange and frankincense essential oils.
The balm is far darker in the tins and tubes than it will appear on the lips and skin, please note that the tint in this balm is very sheer and subtle, the red balm is darker, cooler, gentle and illuminating, accentuating the natural colour of the lips rather than giving a vivid or dense colour. It is an enhancer of natural beauty rather than layers of fake colour, but that is what natural makeup should be, a nod from nature to the natural.
The balm is packaged in eco-cardboard push up tubes, or 20ml slider tins which fit easily into a pocket. They contain quite a lot of product and should last a few months, even with daily use.
The tinted balms look different on different lip and skin tones so the result will depend on each individual, everyone who has tried it has different experiences because everyone has different skin. These are wonderful if you want a natural, dewy look, but will not have the pigmentation or staying power of a lipstick or powder blush.
The root of dyers alkanet, Alkanna tinctora, produces a beautiful deep red dye which has historically been used to dye clothing, and was used for gentle tinted makeup in Victorian times, and probably before.
Some say that burning alkanet root incense can bring protection against those who wish you harm, particularly in matters of money, and to invite luck in business. The root itself has a very particular kind of musty scent which doesn’t come through in the finished balm.
It is also wonderful for healing and cooling the skin, so useful for burns and scars from burning. This balm should not be restricted to use as a cosmetic product, it can be used as a skin healer and as a means to connect with the indomitable watery spirit of alkanet.
The colour of each batch varies slightly due to the natural colouring of the roots used.
The balms can also be used on eyelids and as a dewy highlighter for cheeks.
