A Dermatological Solution Rooted in Classical Wisdom
Persistent skin irritation requires more than just superficial care—it demands a thoughtful, targeted approach. Five Stone Balm is a modern interpretation of a classical Chinese dermatology formula, created to bring comfort and balance to skin experiencing redness, inflammation, burning, flaking, and itching. It is specifically formulated to address the complex needs of conditions like Seborrheic and Perioral Dermatitis.
 
This balm represents a bridge between ancient herbal traditions and contemporary skincare science. It leverages the potent properties of botanicals and minerals known in Chinese Medicine to clear heat, dampness, and wind, providing a holistic path toward calmer, healthier-looking skin.
 
Why It Works
We formulated this balm to offer multi-faceted support for distressed skin, moving beyond simple moisturization to address the underlying patterns of irritation.
Soothes Discomfort: Calamine and a blend of cooling herbs work to gently quiet the sensations of itching and burning.
Balances Skin: Key ingredients like Qing Dai (Woad Extract) and Wei Ling Xian (Chinese Clematis) help restore harmony to the skin's delicate microbiome.
Nourishes and Protects: Organic Shea Butter provides a rich, moisturizing base that nourishes the skin barrier without feeling heavy or occlusive.
Targeted Application: Its concentrated texture allows for precise application directly onto affected areas, delivering relief where it is most needed.
 
A Fusion of Herbal Traditions
The strength of Five Stone Balm lies in its intelligent combination of ingredients. Each component is chosen for its historical use and recognized properties, creating a synergistic blend that is both powerful and gentle. The formula integrates mineral ingredients from the "five stones" lineage of Chinese Medicine with botanicals recognized for their skin-calming effects.
 
How to Use
Incorporate this balm into your daily care routine for targeted relief.
Apply Sparingly: Take a small amount of balm on your fingertip.
