With Simplicity Blue Dew Beauty Balm

Important note on beauty balms

Beauty balms are typically oil- and butter-based formulas designed to nourish the skin and help support the skin barrier. Because they are more concentrated than many lotions or creams, only a small amount is usually needed.

When I evaluate beauty balms like this, I look for formulas that rely on simple, nutrient-dense oils and butters rather than fillers.

I also pay close attention to the ingredient list and avoid formulas that contain:

• undisclosed fragrance or parfum
• PEG compounds or ethoxylated ingredients
• petroleum-derived fillers such as mineral oil or dimethicone
• harsh preservative systems

Product description

Blue Dew Beauty Balm is a concentrated balm designed to help nourish and soften the skin.

The formula is built around camellia seed oil, shea butter, and ucuuba butter, ingredients commonly used to support skin moisture and help maintain the skin barrier.

Candelilla wax helps create the balm texture while allowing the product to melt easily into the skin when applied.

Botanical oils, including blue tansy, frankincense, myrrh, and carrot seed oil, contribute aromatic compounds and antioxidant properties that help support overall skin balance.

Because the formula is concentrated, a small amount can be used to help soften dry areas of the skin or provide additional nourishment when the skin needs extra support.

What I like

I like that this balm uses a very simple ingredient list built around plant oils and butters rather than synthetic fillers.

Camellia oil and shea butter are commonly used to help nourish and soften the skin while supporting the skin barrier.

The EWG analyzer rating for this formula is around a 1, which reflects a very low hazard profile based on the available ingredient data.

Things to keep in mind

Because this formula contains essential oils such as blue tansy, frankincense, myrrh, and carrot seed oil, individuals with very sensitive skin may want to patch test before regular use.

Essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on their sourcing and processing, which is why I prioritize brands that use third-party testing and adhere to ingredient quality standards to help minimize contaminants.
