Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Skin regenerator. Normalizes skin. Reduces puffiness and irritation. Healing. Mentally restorative and relaxing.

Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata var. genuina): Calming, uplifting aphrodisiac and euphoric. Balancing and regenerative for the skin.

Orange (Citrus aurantium amara): Creates a healthy skin tone and smells terrific! Uplifting.

I just wanted to let you know that, as a new customer, I am in love with your products. I use the balm (as any person in their right mind would!!!), and Perfect C, which leaves my skin feeling fantastic. Living in Australia can be pretty demanding on skin, and I’ve searched for a very long time to find a solution. You’re it.
It is such a joy to use products that are both healthy and beautiful. Thank you.

Let me start by telling, I’m an Esthetician/Business owner/Retailer. Out here in Colorado we have a very “unique” climate. Dry and dirty! We’re not a desert but its not to say we’re not almost as dry as one. Also, being so close to the SUN makes it a trying task to keep well balanced, healthy skin..
I’ve been searching for the “perfect” All Natural, apothecary line for the past year and a half.  I’ve been using By Nieves on my clients and at home for 3 months now.  And I’m EXTREMELY PLEASED!!!
I’ve found that The Balm works better on the face than on any other part of the body.  It seems it would be to oily but NOPE! The C Perfect Skin is amazing for drying skin in need of the C (being in Colorado or Anywhere!).
All in all, Nieves is great and I can’t wait til she comes out with more skincare!!!

I received a sample size of The Balm in a trial size gift box from a friend of mine.
I keep it on my nightstand and apply it to my lips and lightly under my eyes before bed each night.
It is so soft and soothing and the aroma helps calm me and prepare me for a good nights sleep!
I LOVE THE BALM!!!!

So my sister survived the vapassana meditation and i have only spoken to her briefly, but I had to tell you both that the first thing she said was “THE BALM SAVED MY LIFE!” she said she didn’t bring any beauty products besides the balm and everyday she put it on her elbows and knees and hair and hands. She was in so much physical pain from all the emotional release and endless seated meditation that the aromatherapy and soothing qualities made everything so much lovelier!

The Balm is the bomb!
I’m a ceramic artist, whose hands are constantly in clay, water and raw glaze materials that are intensely drying to skin.  Your vender at the Renegrade Craft Fair in Los Angeles (she was great!) actually came to our booth with a sample, knowing Me Like Clay (a ceramic artists’ collective also at Renegade) would fall in love with The Balm. BOOM! i’m hooked. i use it on my hands, face, feet, even hair! Sometimes i just put it on my lips and swipe a Balm mustache for my aromotherapy pleasure.
absolutely thank you,
