The Healer

All purpose balm. Skin care staple. Beloved moisturizer & barrier balm. The Healer was originally formulated for an active lifestyle: a balm to speed up the healing of cuts and scrapes, soothe bug bites, moisturize hands and come on any adventure. Along the way our community discovered The Healer’s incomparable virtues as a facial moisturizer. The Healer nourishes your skin and bequeaths a botanical bounciness.

The Healer has 6 ingredients. Each one is nourishing and purposeful. Suntrap sources all of our herbs from small, organic farms, mostly in the Northeastern North America.

Calendula: A golden flower with myriad skin supporting properties. This is The Healer's key herb. Read more about Calendula here.

Chamomile: A yellow and white delight of a flower. A skin soothing herbal powerhouse that lends its potent aromatics and anti-inflammatory properties to the balm. Read more about Chamomile here.

Plantain: This vibrant green leaf offers toning and soothing properties along with a whole lot of nourishment. Read more about Plantain here.

Marshmallow: A juicy root that delivers deep hydration. From the farm to your face. Read more about Marshmallow here.

Sunflower Seed Oil: We believe in using organic, local, cold pressed oils for the freshest infusions possible. We source our oil from the finger lakes region of NY. Sunflower seed oil is highly absorbent, non-comedogenic, and contains oleic acid, vitamin e, sesamol, and linoleic acid.  Read about sunflower seed oil here.

Beeswax: A small amount of aromatic beeswax is added to stabilize the balm. It has been studied to prevent water loss and support the all important skin barrier. This ingredient comes from ethical beekeepers who are doing work to care for our pollinators and the planet. Read about beeswax here.

To use this botanical balm in your skin routine you will need to first cleanse your face with clean hands, water, and a clean washcloth (or however you like to cleanse), spritz your face with a toner such as our Botanical Waters hydrosol so that your face is damp, and then massage a tiny amount of The Healer gently and lovingly into your face and neck. If you have extra dry skin, you might benefit from spritzing the Botanical Waters hydrosol on your face again after applying The Healer. Allow the balm to soak in! If you are running out the door and don’t have the 20 minutes or so it will take to fully absorb on it’s own - you can always lightly dab with a clean washcloth to get matte. The most important thing to note: always apply The Healer to damp skin for maximum absorption.
