LEPAAR - Night Milk Contour Balm - Rejuvenating Face Refine

This is one close to my heart – I wanted to work with milk for so long but I'm no fan of cows milk, sheep milk has a very funky smell, and freshly powdered goats milk is just impossible to get hold of in this country. I did suggest catching the wild goats wandering around our forrest at some point, but Christo said that's a step too far.

Then I came across Australian camel milk one day. I had forgotten about the large wild herds roaming the Australian outback, causing terrible damage to the fragile native eco system. Over the past few years, a few visionary farmers have started domesticating the herds to get them off the land, and build wonderful small businesses selling Camel milk with a nutrient profile far superior to any other milk around. - Johanna, the founder of Lepaar

In skincare formulations, camel milk is appreciated for its naturally occurring AHAs, vitamins, minerals, and immunoglobulins, which contribute to its smooth, creamy texture and distinctive scent.

This balm combines camel milk with a harmonious blend of sun-infused botanical extracts, Peruvian jojoba oil, and sumac wax to create a soft, comforting balm-like formula. The composition also includes iris root, edelweiss, cherry blossom, and pearl extract, bringing together a selection of botanicals traditionally used in beauty rituals.

Designed as a gentle part of an evening routine, this blend offers a luxurious, aromatic experience and a rich, nourishing feel on the skin.

Essential oil free

Skin Type: Women + men. Especially benefits sensitive, dull-looking skin.

Fragrance Profile: Christo said it smells like being back in the Omani desert, drinking milky Karak tea – not too sweet, with a lingering Vanilla spice and a dance of Frankincense. Something alpine, herbacous coming through and a faint note of the violet/licorice hued Iris root. Something  that reminds me of my childhood, something that's imprinted in my DNA, a balsam that comforts my soul and heals my heart. I feel safe. - Johanna, the founder of Lepaar

Amount of Essential oils in this composition: None (0%).

All Lepaar extracts are made by sun-infusing whole plant material into early harvest virgin cold pressed biodynamic Olive oil. First harvest, unripe Olives yield a beautifully nutrient oil with spectacularly high phenolic content, which stabilises and naturally preserves not only their extracts but also our skin.

In this ancient method of bioactive botanical extraction, at Lepaar they co-infuse all the compositions botanicals together, so they commune and synergise, enhancing each other's potency and bioavailablity.

Each plant component has a specific purpose that is intrinsically linked to other compounds. There is massive evidence now that synergistic whole plant extracts are much more powerful than isolated, single components.

Composed to use overnight. Massage a small amount into damp warm skin. Settle with your fave Mineral face toner.
