MEET HERBALIST & SKINCARE FORMULATORTori Lubbers, Cht RH
Hi, I'm the herbalist behind Balsam Herbals. This work blossomed out of my studies in Traditional Western Herbalism, a three-year Clinical Apprenticeship, and has its roots in my own healing journey with plant medicine.
After the years I spent working in our fast-paced healthcare industry, I’m happy to offer my community an unhurried, more personalized approach to care. Get to know me more below:
This moisturizing facial oil supports skin’s youthfulness and soothes dehydrated skin & dermatitis patches. It helps to reduce oxidative stress & inflammation and works to promote collagen production, all through potent botanicals including Rose hips, Gotu Kola, and Tamanu oil.
Size: 2 oz / 60 mL
GOTU KOLA As a rich source of antioxidants & anti-inflammatories, Gotu Kola can be found in many skincare blends. It can help improve skin's elasticity, soothe & repair dry patches, and reduce the effects of environmental stressors that contribute to aging.
TAMANU This rich nut oil from the evergreen Tamanu tree native to Southeast Asia has an extraordinary moisturizing capability, with 92% lipid content and a unique fatty acid called Calophyllic acid that helps to regenerate skin tissue.
