SHEA BUTTER
ROSEHIP
EVENING PRIMROSE
BEESWAX
Key Ingredient
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter
Shea butter delivers a dense profile of stearic and oleic acids that integrate into the intercellular lipid matrix of the skin. This supports cohesion within a compromised barrier and improves elasticity in dry or fragile complexions. Within this balm it functions as a primary lipid replenisher, restoring flexibility and reducing tightness overnight.
Key Ingredient
Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Oil
Rosehip oil is rich in linoleic acid and antioxidant compounds that support regeneration behaviour and barrier repair. These fatty acids assist in restoring suppleness and improving tone consistency in weather exposed or depleted skin. Its inclusion elevates the balm beyond simple occlusion by contributing to progressive resilience.
Key Ingredient
Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil
Evening primrose oil contains gamma linolenic acid, a fatty acid known for its role in reinforcing barrier function and calming dryness. It supports improved moisture retention and comfort in reactive skin types. Over time, this contributes to greater tolerance and reduced recurrence of irritation linked to lipid deficiency.
Key Ingredient
Cera Alba (Beeswax)
Beeswax acts as a natural occlusive, forming a breathable layer that reduces transepidermal water loss without sealing the skin under synthetic film. Its structure allows moisture retention while maintaining normal barrier exchange. In this formulation it anchors the balm’s protective architecture and enhances durability in harsh climates.
What makes this balm different from a standard moisturiser?
Unlike water based creams that rely on humectants and emulsifiers, this balm is entirely lipid based. Its concentrated composition of plant oils, butters and beeswax works to restore the intercellular lipid matrix rather than simply adding surface hydration. This approach reduces transepidermal water loss and reinforces barrier resilience overnight, making it structurally different from conventional moisturisers.
How does it support compromised or damaged skin?
Dry or weather affected skin often reflects a depleted lipid barrier. The blend of essential fatty acids, antioxidant rich oils and breathable waxes replenishes lost lipids while shielding against further moisture loss. Over time this helps improve flexibility, comfort and tolerance to environmental stress.
Is it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes. Vanessa Megan Intensive Dermal Repair Moisture Balm is dermatologically tested and composed of certified organic botanicals selected for their calming and barrier supportive properties. Calendula and chamomile assist in reducing visible redness while lipid rich oils support repair. As with any active botanical formulation, patch testing is recommended for highly reactive skin.
Can it be used during the day?
It may be applied in a thin layer during the day when additional barrier protection is required, particularly in cold or dry climates. Due to its richness and occlusive structure, most users prefer it as a restorative evening treatment.
Will it clog pores or feel heavy?
The balm forms a breathable occlusive layer rather than a synthetic film. When applied in an appropriate amount for your skin type, it supports barrier repair without unnecessary congestion. Its density is intentional and designed for compromised or very dry skin.
How long does one tube last and is it good value?
When used 1-2 times per week as an intensive treatment, a 50ml tube typically lasts 5+ months or more depending on application volume and areas treated. Even with more frequent use during periods of dryness, only a small amount is required per application. The concentrated lipid composition delivers performance efficiency through nutrient density, ensuring longevity without excessive product use.

Let customers speak for us
Customer service that is hard to find these days and makes you want to be a loyal customer.
So wonderful to find natural products for my highly sensitive children. After doing a lot of research I am so pleased to be completely sure that there are no nasties or worries about using Intentionally Natural Products. Such great service & totally feel like I can trust the product & this company to look after the little things in life that make the biggest difference. Definitely recommend trying these products.
I love that this brand is packed with all natural ingredients that leave you and your little ones feeling amazing. It is so hard to find 100% natural products free of nasty chemicals and toxins. Thank you so much, I will definitely be back for more :)
Great gifts! Especially when you know they are natural, free of chemicals and toxins.
Omg, I am so glad I found your website!! Your website is not only stunningly beautiful, it also has every thing I need for my combination-semi-tantrum skin and dry scalp/oily hair situation. I have been on the hunt for good natural products for ages! I keep lapsing back to the chemicals as it’s so hard to find a reliable stockist (where natural is their main game) and for them to have available what I need. Some of these brands you carry are my faves and at such great prices. I’ve just placed an order and look forward to being a regular. Thank you! Also, cool that you have recipes - I am going to try making that gorgeous beet salad!
