Why You Need a Beauty Balm In Your Life

When it comes to everyday beauty essentials, few products are as versatile—or as glow-inducing—as a beauty balm. Whether you’re heading to yoga, meeting up with friends, or simply looking to add more hydration to your skincare, a natural balm is a must-have. Rich, restorative, and radiance-boosting, this multitasking hero belongs in every self-care ritual.

What is a beauty balm?

A beauty balm is a multitasking skincare staple designed to nourish, protect, and illuminate the skin—wherever and whenever you need it. Typically made with plant-based oils and butters, it melts on contact and delivers a concentrated dose of moisture to dry patches, hair ends, lips, and more.

YUNI’s Gliding Light Multipurpose Beauty Balm is a deeply replenishing blend of ethically sourced seed oils and natural, skin-loving ingredients that not only moisturize but also help your skin thrive.

Here’s what makes our formula so special:

Organic Kukui Seed Oil contains essential fatty acids that penetrate deep into the skin to help repair and nourish, leaving a healthy glow.
Fair Trade Turmeric Root is packed with antioxidants that help protect skin from environmental aggressors for a youthful, luminous appearance.
Organic Jojoba Oil offers incredible moisturizing benefits, acting as a natural barrier to lock in hydration and defend against harsh environmental stressors.
Shea Butter is rich in skin-loving vitamins A, E, and F, and essential fatty acids. This superfood softens, soothes, and supports cell turnover for a plumper, firmer look.
Ethically Sourced Mica is what truly sets YUNI’s Beauty Balm apart. This natural mineral reflects light to create a subtle, radiant shimmer that enhances your skin’s glow without any glitter. It's your goddess glow, bottled.

Infused with illuminating minerals that leave skin looking fresh and healthy, this balm melts seamlessly into the skin, delivering deep hydration while helping to soften the appearance of imperfections. Compact and multipurpose, it's the perfect travel companion, complete with a warm, luminous scent that captures the essence of a sunny day.

What is a beauty balm used for?

Think of beauty balm as your do-it-all glow-up tool. Its creamy texture melts like a solid oil and can be used head to toe—wherever you need a hit of hydration or radiance.

Here are a few of our favorite ways to use it:

As a daily moisturizer – Warm a small amount between your palms and smooth over dry skin, including arms, legs, elbows, and heels.
On cuticles and hands – Perfect post-manicure or to soften hands throughout the day.
To nourish dry hair – Tame flyaways, smooth frizz, and add shine. Great for sleek buns or natural texture.
As a body highlighter – Dab onto collarbones, shoulders, or legs for a subtle shimmer—your summer glow in a jar.
To soothe wind-chapped skin – Ideal for outdoor adventures like skiing or biking, it helps create a barrier against harsh elements. Follow this skincare for the slopes routine for inspiration.
Face or lip highlighter – Use a fingertip to gently tap onto cheekbones, lips, or eyelids for a luminous finish.
Before bed ritual – Massage into heels and hands for an overnight skin softening treatment.
As a subtle fragrance – Rub onto arms and chest for a delicate scent that lingers on the skin. The aroma is made with essential oils, and as always, non-toxic, plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free.

And yes, a little goes a long way—one jar will last you ages.
