✨ Ancient Crafted Treasure
Harvested manually from mature plants in top Turkish regions, balsam is collected via trunk incisions without felling trees or harming the ecosystem. Purified at low temperatures (no chemicals/heat) for full active ingredient retention, it is 100% pure, additive-free, and safe for sensitive/delicate skin per international safety standards.
This dark brown to reddish-brown viscous liquid has low fluidity. Silky and warm to the touch, it penetrates skin rapidly without greasiness, forming a breathable protective barrier. Its rich, long-lasting aroma centers on warm resinous sweetness, layered with subtle vanilla and woody notes—full-bodied yet mellow, it fosters a tranquil, soothing ambiance, ideal for evening skincare, aromatherapy meditation, and more, embodying the distinctive character of a premium balm.
