Chrysalis Echinacea Cleansing Balm
SORRY! PAUSED FOR SALE DUE TO SUMMER HEAT!
LOOK FOR AN OIL CLEANSER SOON.
Melt away makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup with this lush, oil-based balm infused with echinacea - the monarch butterfly’s favorite nectar.
Unlike soap-based cleansers that can strip the skin’s protective barrier, this balm gently dissolves impurities while moisturizing and supporting barrier repair.
Originally named Chrysalis, this balm was inspired by the monarchs who visit my registered Monarch waystation, resting and feeding on the echinacea. The final formula emerged with the same soft green hue as a real chrysalis, a quiet affirmation of its purpose: to restore, protect, and prepare - like the monarch’s chrysalis, a tender shell where transformation begins.
Essential oil–free with a subtle, caramel-like scent. Doubles as a deeply reparative, nourishing mask.

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.
