You’re viewing a MUNTED Treebrush Apothecary product.
What’s Munted?
Either a batch hasn’t gone to plan, the product is shipped in recycled or damaged packaging, or for some other reason it wouldn’t be sane to charge full price.
Why’s this one Munted?
Heat soak fail! This handful of No Regerts and Thun 10mL tins were subjected to enough heat that they briefly melted, then slowly re-solidified. The slow re-setting sometimes causes “beads” of the butter portion of the formula to separate out of the balm. It still works just the same, and the butter beads melt at skin temperature, but some people aren’t fond of the texture!
These beads of butter will melt pretty much immediately on the skin. These batches were made in November 2022 as well, so they’re brand spankin’ new. Want yourself a fresh Treebrush Apothecary balm at a discount? This is an absolute killer deal if you don’t mind some funny-lookin’ beads.
What the heck is Kawakawa Balm?
Kawakawa is a native New Zealand bush whose leaves have famously anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic properties. Treebrush Apothecary balms infuse these leaves into a skin-nourishing carrier oil, then blend with natural butters and waxes, a few choice essential oils, and packaged in convenient, reusable tins/jars. It can soothe and help to heal all manner of 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!
So…which balm?
Each balm’s blend of carrier oil, butter and essential oil is formulated with a texture, fragrance and general use in mind. All Treebrush Apothecary kawakawa balms are intended to help with soothing angry skin, so you can’t go wrong there!
