Botanical Brightening Balm
A concentrated balm of golden botanicals for radiance, resilience, and gentle brightening.
This cheerful, clementine-scented balm is a little pot of sunshine, crafted with richly pigmented fruits, nourishing oils, and plant-based actives that help support skin clarity, tone, and long-term vitality.
We’ve chosen ingredients not for isolated doses of synthetic vitamin C, but for their whole-plant synergy - gentle, antioxidant-rich compounds that work in harmony to brighten the appearance of skin, improve elasticity, and restore glow over time.
Our Brightening Balm delivers skin support through lipophilic nutrients like carotenoids, essential fatty acids, phytosterols, and tocopherols, perfect for sensitive skin types who still crave results:
Rosehip CO₂ Extract
Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, tocopherols, and carotenoids, rosehip helps improve texture and tone while delivering gentle antioxidant protection.
Marula Oil
Traditionally revered in African skincare, marula oil is nutrient-dense and softening, with natural vitamin C in its fruit and antioxidant fatty acids in its oil. It nourishes without heaviness.
Raspberry Seed CO₂ Extract
High in alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid, raspberry seed extract supports elasticity, soothes dry or maturing skin, and helps minimize the appearance of fine lines.
Sea Buckthorn Berry CO₂ Extract
A vivid, antioxidant-rich oil from the whole berry—including pulp, seed, and skin. Packed with carotenoids and fatty acids to deeply revitalize and restore resilience to dry, damaged, or lackluster skin.
Amla Oil
Traditionally used to enhance brightness and reduce melanin production. Amla oil contains high levels of vitamin C (not extracted into oil) along with potent tannins and antioxidants that support overall skin clarity and smoothness.
Pomegranate Sterols
These deeply hydrating actives help reinforce the skin’s barrier while holding up to 2x their weight in water—softening, plumping, and protecting against collagen breakdown.
Dandelion Root & Leaf Infused Jojoba
Known for their soothing and detoxifying qualities, dandelion helps calm inflammation and supports clarity, especially for reactive or congested skin type
-
Whole-plant powered, no synthetic vitamin C or harsh acids
-
Gentle enough for sensitive or maturing skin
-
Rich in antioxidants that nourish and protect long-term
-
Softens, smooths, and supports natural glow
-
Melts into skin for lasting comfort without greasiness

Without Preservatives
Formulation
All HANDS products are anhydrous, meaning they are made without water. This allows formulations to be made without preservatives, emulsifiers or thickeners. As a result, these products may be a thicker/less watery consistency than commercial products you with which you are accustomed. This also allows the active botanicals to be more available to your skin, and presents the cleanest formulas possible. As a result, extra care also needs to be taken to not allow water to enter the jar.
