Answer the call of the wild without becoming the main course. 
Explorer Barrier Balm is meticulously formulated to establish a deeply conditioning, highly aromatic shield between your skin and the harsh elements. Whether you are navigating dense bush, hiking through tall grass, or relaxing by the campfire at dusk, this rugged balm is designed to keep you comfortable and protected from outdoor annoyances.
We start with a minimalist, skin-loving base of moisturizing sunflower oil and conditioning shea butter. Next, we fortify each batch with pure beeswax to lock in a long-lasting, sweat-resistant layer. Finally, we pack it with a powerhouse blend of nature’s most effective outdoor essential oils—Lemon Eucalyptus, Citronella, Cedarwood, and Geranium—and round it out with a smooth hint of natural vanilla. The result is a deeply absorbing balm that conditions rough skin while surrounding you with a crisp, deep-woods scent that pests simply detest. It's the clean, plant-based alternative your pack has been missing.

Directions for Use
Scoop a small amount of balm from the tin and warm it between your fingers. Apply a thin layer to exposed skin, dry patches, or pulse points (wrists, ankles, behind the neck) before heading outdoors. Reapply every 1–2 hours during long treks or heavy activity to maintain a strong, comforting aromatic barrier against bugs and the elements.
