Little Unction Balm

The Unction Balm is our modern interpretation of an ancient anointing ritual — a restorative balm created to comfort, replenish, and honour the skin. Inspired by ancestral traditions of protective skin anointing, this rich formula envelops dry, delicate skin in a dense veil of botanical lipids and protective waxes.

Formulated with black seed oil, valued for its naturally occurring fatty acids and antioxidant compounds, alongside GLA-rich botanical oils known for supporting skin softness and suppleness, the balm helps reduce feelings of dryness and reinforce lasting comfort. Protective beeswax creates a breathable barrier on the skin, helping to minimise moisture loss while giving the balm its rich, cocooning texture.

Upon contact, the dense balm softens into the skin, delivering emollient nourishment and a comforting ritual of care. Rooted in heritage yet refined through modern formulation, The Unction Balm transforms everyday application into a moment of intentional self-care — where ritual, nourishment, and quiet luxury meet.
