Calm Body Care
Summer Calm
With all the hustle and bustle that summer brings, long days, packed schedules, and sun-soaked adventures, I often have to gently remind myself to pause, breathe, and truly rest.
Last night, I did just that. I carved out a quiet moment for myself and indulged in one of my favourite rituals, a long, restorative soak in the bath.
As the water filled the tub, I began with a gentle exfoliation using our Calm Body Scrub, working it in with upward circular motions to help stimulate circulation and leave my skin feeling fresh and renewed. Then, I dropped in a couple of bath bombs from our Calm Gift Set and sank into the stillness, letting the warm water and botanical aromas wash the day away.
To finish, I cocooned myself in our Calm Balm, massaging it into my skin slowly and mindfully. The rich, comforting texture melted in effortlessly, and I felt the tension dissolve. That night, I had the most restful, nourishing sleep I’ve had in a while, the kind that leaves you feeling grounded and ready for whatever the next day may bring.
So, let me ask you, when was the last time you made time just for yourself?
The magic behind our Calm Balm
Let’s take a moment to talk about the true heart of this ritual, our Calm Balm. It’s more than a skincare essential; it’s a moment of stillness in your day, a chance to reconnect with yourself.
This balm is packed with some of nature’s most beautiful ingredients, each chosen to calm the body and soothe the mind. Let me introduce you to three of my favourites:
Shea Butter - nature's rejuvenator:
Let's start with Shea Butter, often referred to as "Nature's Rejuvenator." This incredible ingredient is high in Oleic Acid, an essential fatty acid that nourishes and restores your skin. It's also a source of Vitamin A, a potent antioxidant known for its rejuvenating properties. Shea Butter not only hydrates and moisturizes your skin but also helps it regain its youthful glow. If you're looking for a natural way to address signs of aging and promote skin vitality, Shea Butter is your secret weapon.
Hemp Seed Oil - deep hydration and balance:
Next on the list is Hemp Seed Oil, a true superstar in the world of skincare. This oil provides deep hydration and effectively balances your skin's moisture levels. What sets Hemp Seed Oil apart is its impressive anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal choice for soothing irritated and red skin. It's a natural solution to maintaining skin balance and ensuring your complexion stays beautifully hydrated.
Borage Seed Oil, 20% GLA - the essential fatty acid hero:
Last but certainly not least is Borage Seed Oil, boasting an impressive 20% Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), a key essential fatty acid. This hero ingredient supports your skin's natural barrier, helping it remain healthy, radiant, and resilient. Borage Seed Oil is your go-to solution for maintaining a strong and vibrant complexion.
By combining these powerhouse ingredients, our Calm Balm becomes more than a moisturiser, it’s a ritual of care, connection, and calm. Whether you’re unwinding after a day in the sun, soothing tired limbs post-hike, or simply craving a moment to yourself, this balm is your invitation to slow down and come home to your body.
So this summer, I hope you’ll find little ways to recharge…even if it’s just 10 minutes with warm water, soft music, and a balm that reminds your skin (and your spirit) that it’s safe to rest.

I love the body balm . Particularly the lavender, which has a beautiful natural smell of lavender. Not only do I use it as a body moisturiser, but also as a hair serum. The balm doesn't leave my skin greasy, but leaves my skin feeling moisturised until my next shower.
