Rough Patch | For Skin in Motion

This balm has a firm, dense texture thanks to the Beeswax and Arrowroot Powder.

To use, gently scrape the balm with the back of your fingernail and collect a small amount. You don’t need much. Apply the balm to a small area of the affected skin and rub it in, allowing the warmth of your skin to melt it. Wait a moment for the balm to absorb naturally, then rub the area again to complete absorption and prevent any excess residue.

Shea Butter Softens thick, dry skin and helps restore flexibility.

Virgin Beeswax Forms a breathable protective barrier that helps reduce moisture loss while shielding skin from friction.

Mango Butter Rich emollient that supports skin repair and helps smooth rough texture.

Ucuuba Butter Traditionally valued for dry, cracked skin; adds firmness to the balm while contributing nourishing fatty acids.

Cupuaçu Butter Excellent water-binding properties that help dry skin stay supple longer.

Blueberry Seed Oil Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants that support the skin barrier.

Tamanu Oil Traditionally prized for stressed, weathered, and overworked skin because of its conditioning and soothing properties.

White Kaolin Clay Absorbs excess surface oil, leaves a clean finish, and helps the balm stay comfortable on hardworking skin.

Arrowroot Powder Improves the finish and reduces tackiness so the balm can be used during the day without feeling greasy.

Vitamin E Protects the oils from oxidation while also conditioning the skin.

What makes Rough Patch different from a typical body butter?

Rough Patch was designed for areas of skin that experience repeated contact, friction, dryness, or exposure throughout the day. Rather than melting away immediately like a soft body butter, the composition settles into the skin more gradually — remaining present through movement while still feeling breathable and balanced.

Where on the body is Rough Patch meant to be used?

Anywhere the skin feels overworked, exposed, roughened, or repeatedly irritated by daily life. Elbows, heels, hands, bug bites, dry patches, knees, and areas exposed to cold weather or outdoor activity are all natural places to use it.

Does the balm feel greasy or overly heavy?

No. Although the composition is rich and protective, arrowroot and white kaolin clay help soften the finish so the balm settles into a more velvety, balanced texture rather than remaining slick on the skin.

Why use beeswax in a barrier balm?

Our virgin beeswax helps create a flexible, breathable layer that stays present on the skin while still allowing it to move naturally. Rather than sealing the skin off completely, it helps support moisture retention while remaining comfortable through daily wear.

Is Rough Patch intended for everyday use?

Yes. Rough Patch was composed as a daily-use barrier balm for skin shaped by movement, exposure, weather, work, and repeated contact with the world. It can be used occasionally for targeted support or kept close for regular daily tending.
