Buzzbox Barrier Balm

Buzzbox Barrier Balm – a not-so-secret silver bullet for irritated skin.

Buzzbox Barrier Balm is a slightly different take on the concept of a Kawakawa Balm. Sporting both New Zealand honey and New Zealand beeswax, it’s a sticky-sweet protective and healing balm designed to keep angry skin a little more sheltered than our more readily absorbed balms. Supported with New Zealand lanolin and a shot of lecithin, this barrier balm is ideal for chapped and cracked lips, grazes, cracked heels, windburn, raw elbows and knees, and anything else in need of a natural forcefield. It’s also great as a barrier in windy or wet environments, so slip a tin into your pocket on your next big outdoor adventure, or anywhere hard work is being done!

This latest batch is from the new & improved formula! It’s even more golden and more deliciously aromatic than Buzzbox batches to date thanks to the wonderfully rich beeswax that Buzzstop in Queenstown supplies. Additionally, the infused hemp heart oil blend now includes a dash of meadowfoam oil for additional stability and skin feel, and nearly double the kawakawa and horopito with an increased infusion time, giving this already epic balm a whole heap of extra firepower.

What the heck is Kawakawa Balm?

Kawakawa is a native New Zealand bush whose leaves have famously anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic properties. Buzzbox Barrier Balm infuses these leaves into skin-loving hemp heart oil, along with a bit of horopito and a few choice essential oils, and packaged in convenient, reusable tins/jars. It can help soothe and protect angry skin – bug bites, dry or cracked skin, chapped lips, cuts, scrapes, abrasions, eczema & psoriasis, razor burn, overwashed hands, and so much more. The limit is your imagination!

Why Buzzbox Barrier Balm?

A “honey balm” has always been on the cards for Treebrush Apothecary, owing to its soothing and healing powers – and the fact that it’s quite delicious. Yes, we went there, and we hope your lips do too. A barrier balm has always been on the cards as well, as a follow-up to the feedback that our classic kawakawa balms absorb so much more readily than other products on the market. Which is a good thing, mind!

This formula is a flavour and fragrance bomb, slightly heavy and sticky to the touch at first but excellent at shielding skin from the elements and allowing it to heal. It also contains our kawakawa and horopito infused hemp seed oil for a soothing, healing, anti-inflammatory kick, and a delightful mix of fragrant essential oils to complement the delicious honey and beeswax base note.

Why Buzzbox instead of Thuck, Thun, No Regerts or Mellow? While this balm is soothing and anti-inflammatory like the rest of the range, this balm contains lanolin, lecithin, honey and a higher percentage of beeswax than our other balms. As a result, it sits on the skin for longer and is ideal for protecting it in harsh environments, or as a barrier balm over angry and healing skin. It’s an excellent lip balm alternative, and is a little more waterproof than the rest of the range.

Which size to choose

One of the big differences between Treebrush Apothecary’s offerings and the rest of the pack, aside from superior texture and divine creaminess, is size options. Seriously. We understand that sometimes you just want to try a bit of everything, and sometimes you want to share a tub with the whole family!

10mL “Mini” tin: Aside from fear-of-commitment sized, our 10mL Minis are pocket-sized, lip balm-sized, whoops-there-you-are-sized, glovebox-sized, Santa mode-sized, take-on-an-adventure-sized! The most popular size sold. Grab this if you want to try before committing to a bigger vessel, compare products against each other, or want several to share around as gifts.

30mL tin: This is the one to get when you’ve got a favourite in the range, or want some mileage beyond just lips! If you’ve got quite a few places you like to load kawakawa balm onto, or you’re sharing, 30mL will last you a wee while. It’s also perfectly sized to slip into hiking packs, beach bags, or handbags for busy people and adventurers.

60mL amber jar: The serious business size. Some folks absolutely swear by kawakawa balm and use it in all manner of places. Some use it as a massage balm. Some have a pot for the whole family. In every case, this size is the one filling these boots!

 

To use: take a small amount of balm and gently massage into the affected area until it absorbs. If the balm is cold, you may find it easier to run your fingernail across it backwards. It can also be used as a lip balm – a little goes a long way.

Ingredients: Kawakawa and horopito infused hemp seed oil, beeswax, honey, soy lecithin, cetyl alcohol, stearic acid, meadowfoam oil, benzoin styrax, amyris essential oil, ginger essential oil, cedarwood essential oil, vitamin E.
