Why we stand behind it
Intense Skin Repair Balm is packed with a powerful proprietary blend of soothing and effective vitamin-based and revitalizing active ingredients, locking moisture into the skin.
This multipurpose, balm is formulated with a nourishing blend of Mafura, Mango, Squalane and Shea butters to moisturize and enhance skin when natural hydration levels have diminished due to environmental conditions, hormonal changes or other skin stressors.
The sensually uplifting oils of Jasmine, Rose, Immortelle and Bergamot help to relieve tension and stress, while Marula's high level of antioxidants helps calm inflammation.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.
