Wild Nectar Face Balm is an intensely nourishing botanical treatment created to improve the look and feel of dry, dull, mature, uneven, or environmentally stressed skin. At the heart of the formula is Buah Merah (Pandanus conoideus), the vivid red fruit native to Papua, combined with sea buckthorn, pomegranate, rosehip, neem, and turmeric for a concentrated source of carotenoids, essential fatty acids, tocopherols, and antioxidant plant compounds.

Designed to support smoother texture, more even-looking tone, improved suppleness, radiance, and the appearance of fine lines, Wild Nectar brings together fruits, seeds, roots, flowers, woods, leaves, and resins—each chosen for what the plant can contribute to the skin.

Key Benefits

 

Buah Merah / Red Fruit Oil (Pandanus Conoideus): Native to Papua, this intensely red fruit is naturally rich in carotenoids, tocopherols (vitamin E), and unsaturated fatty acids including oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. These nutrients help protect against oxidative stress while replenishing the lipids needed for soft, resilient skin. Buah Merah is particularly interesting for mature, dull, sun-stressed, and uneven-looking skin, and research has explored its carotenoids in relation to pigmentation, photoaging, and collagen. It helps support a brighter, smoother, more supple and youthful-looking complexion.

 

Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii): Traditionally used to protect skin from harsh sun, wind, and dryness, shea is rich in oleic and stearic fatty acids and unsaponifiable compounds. It helps strengthen the moisture barrier, soften rough texture, and plump the appearance of dehydration-related fine lines.

 

Olive Fruit Oil (Olea Europaea): Rich in oleic acid, squalene, tocopherols, and polyphenols. Olive oil deeply conditions dry and mature skin, improves flexibility and softness, and helps protect against environmental oxidative stress that contributes to visible aging.

 

Neem: Used extensively in traditional Ayurvedic skin preparations for blemishes, irritated skin, wounds, and other troubled-skin concerns. Neem contains fatty acids and bioactive plant compounds with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity, making it particularly interesting for blemish-prone, stressed, or unbalanced-looking skin.

 

Sea Buckthorn: Exceptionally rich in carotenoids, tocopherols, phytosterols, and skin-supporting fatty acids. Certain sea buckthorn oils contain notable levels of omega-7 palmitoleic acid. Traditionally used for damaged and irritated skin, it helps support barrier repair, elasticity, softness, and a more vibrant appearance—especially beneficial for dry, mature, sun-stressed, or depleted skin.

 

Pomegranate Seed Oil: Distinguished by its high concentration of punicic acid, a rare fatty acid, along with antioxidant phytochemicals. Pomegranate is particularly suited to mature, dry, and environmentally stressed skin, helping improve suppleness and supporting a firmer, smoother-looking appearance.

 

Rosehip Fruit Oil: Rich in linoleic and alpha-linolenic fatty acids and naturally occurring carotenoids. Rosehip has become especially valued for uneven tone, visible marks, sun-damaged appearance, fine lines, and rough texture. It helps support skin renewal and a smoother, brighter, more even-looking complexion.

 

Turmeric Root Extract (Curcuma Longa): Used for centuries in Ayurvedic skin rituals for complexion, inflammation, and wound care. Its curcuminoids provide potent antioxidant activity and make turmeric particularly interesting for redness, blemish-prone skin, dullness, uneven tone, and post-blemish discoloration.

 

Bergamot Peel Oil (Citrus Aurantium Bergamia): Traditionally incorporated into preparations for oily, blemish-prone, and congested skin. Its citrus terpenes have antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, making bergamot useful for supporting a clearer, more balanced-looking complexion.

 

Pepper Seed Oil (Schinus Terebinthifolia): Brazilian pepper has traditionally been used for wounds, inflammation, and skin complaints. Its terpene-rich botanical compounds have demonstrated antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity, making it especially interesting for stressed, blemish-prone, or irritated-looking skin.

 

Jasmine Flower Extract (Jasminum Sambac): Traditionally used to condition dry, sensitive, and irritated skin. Jasmine helps improve softness and suppleness, making it especially valuable when dehydration exaggerates rough texture and fine lines.

 

Lavender Oil (Lavandula Angustifolia): Historically used topically for minor burns, bites, wounds, and irritated skin. Lavender's naturally occurring compounds have demonstrated antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity and can help support calmer-looking skin, temporary redness, and blemish-prone complexions.

 

Juniper Wood Oil (Juniperus Virginiana): Traditionally incorporated into preparations for troubled or oily skin. Its sesquiterpene-rich profile makes it especially interesting for congested, blemish-prone, dull, or uneven-textured skin.

 

Vetiver Root Oil (Chrysopogon Zizanioides): Traditionally used on the skin for cooling and soothing purposes. Its antioxidant-rich root compounds help support stressed, mature, dry, or environmentally exposed skin, promoting a calmer and smoother appearance.

 

Patchouli Leaf Oil (Pogostemon Cablin): Traditionally used for cracked skin, wounds, irritation, and various skin complaints. Its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory plant compounds make patchouli especially relevant to rough, blemish-prone, stressed, or uneven-textured skin.

 

Vanilla Fruit Extract (Vanilla Planifolia): Naturally rich in vanillin and related antioxidant compounds that help defend against oxidative stress associated with collagen degradation, dullness, fine lines, and premature visible aging.

 

Benzoin Resin Extract (Styrax Benzoin): Traditionally incorporated into preparations for chapped, cracked, irritated, and damaged skin. Benzoin is particularly complementary to dry or compromised-feeling skin, helping support a smoother appearance where dehydration makes texture and fine lines more visible.

 

Sandalwood Oil (Santalum Album): Sandalwood has centuries of traditional use for acne, inflammatory skin complaints, rashes, and complexion care. Rich in santalols, it is particularly interesting for blemish-prone, red, uneven, or mature-looking skin and helps support a calmer, clearer, more even-looking complexion.

 

Who’s it for

Perfect for dry, mature, dull, uneven, blemish-prone, sun-stressed, or moisture-depleted skin, particularly when concerns include:

fine lines + wrinkles • uneven tone • rough texture • dullness • visible discoloration • loss of suppleness • dryness • blemishes • temporary redness • environmental + sun stress

 

Usage

Warm a small amount between fingertips and gently press into clean skin. Use alone or as the final step over a facial mist, serum, or oil.

For mature or very dry skin, massage over the face, neck, and décolleté at night as an intensive botanical treatment.

Because Wild Nectar is concentrated and waterless, a little goes a long way.
