PREIMELLE VARIN Manuka Honey Chamomile Tallow Body Balm

For the woman whose hands give her away first.

Manuka honey and chamomile, in a balm that stays on through hand washing.

Your face gets four products. Your hands, elbows and shins get whatever is left in the pump by the door, applied in a hurry, and washed off by eleven in the morning.

This is a balm rather than a lotion. It is mostly lipid rather than mostly water, which is why it is still there hours later. 🍯

✨ Why it behaves differently

Most body lotions are largely water with an emulsifier holding a little oil in place. The water evaporates within minutes and takes some of your skin's own moisture with it. That is why lotion feels good immediately and stops mattering by lunch.

A tallow balm has almost no water in it. What goes on stays on.

What it means for you: hands that still feel like your own after a day of washing them, and elbows and shins you do not have to think about between showers.

🌾 What's in it

🐄 Grass-fed tallow with shea butter A lipid base rather than a water base. What it means for you: one application in the morning rather than five through the day.

🍯 Manuka honey Naturally humectant and calming. What it means for you: comfort on the dry patches that have stopped responding to ordinary lotion.

🌼 Chamomile flower oil Soothing, and the reason this suits skin that gets easily irritated. What it means for you:something you can use on the parts of you that react to everything else.

🍊 Bergamot A quiet citrus finish, and the only scent in the jar. What it means for you: clean and barely there, so it does not argue with your perfume.

🤍 Getting the most from it

Apply to skin that is still slightly damp from the shower. A balm seals in whatever is underneath it, so give it water to seal.

It is dense in the jar and melts on contact. Take less than you think.

🕯️ The ritual

Elbows, knees, shins, hands, and the backs of the arms. Two minutes after a shower, and it holds through the day.
