Salves, balms, and all-in-ones are among my favorite things. The lush, multitasking, mega-moisturizing formulas you can slather on lips, cuticles, dry patches, and even unruly eyebrows. The True Botanicals Everything Rescue Balm fits squarely into that category. Occlusive without feeling greasy, impressive results in a single application, and a faint pleasant scent. It has quickly become one of my most reached-for products.
What is the Everything Rescue Balm?
The True Botanicals Everything Rescue Balm is a solid balm-to-oil formula with a mighty goal. It promises to moisturize, nourish, calm, and protect compromised, irritated skin. The brand's motto is ‘make it better faster' and in most SOS situations, a single application delivers exactly that.
What’s in the True Botanicals balm ?
First and foremost, the Everything Rescue Balm comes in solid form but softens easily with the heat of your fingers. The Shea Butter base is infused with an Olive, Jojoba, and Sesame Oil blend. If you’re wondering what contributes to the beautiful orange hue of this formula, it’s a mix of Marigold Extract (soothing, healing, and an anti-inflammatory) and Astaxanthin (repairing, moisturizing, free-radical fighting antioxidant).
My favorite INCI callout goes to Punica Granatum Sterols, aka Pomegranate-derived emollient, which helps boost cellular regeneration and strengthens the skin barrier. Other nourishing botanicals include Mango Seed Butter, Aloe Leaf Extract, and Coconut Oil.
Is there a scent?
Yes. And it’s lovely. The Everything Rescue Balm contains a sprinkling of essential oils from Rosemary, Lavender, Immortelle Flower, and Eucalyptus Leaf. As I type out these fragrant oils, I want to assure you the scent is much lighter than it sounds. Think herbal and mind-soothing with slightly more prominent notes of Lavender and Rosemary (to me at least).
How do I use it?
The short list of reasons I keep reaching for my tin: it’s user-friendly and versatile. Most importantly, it’s effective. And since the tin is so light and compact (yet packs 50ml of product), it moves with me from bedside to computer to bag whenever I leave the house. It’s my go-to on the lips before a morning walk and then again at bedtime.
I am also happy to report the orange hue has not stained the pillowcase. Since the formula exhibits no stickiness, I’ve been dabbing it on my cuticles and knuckles throughout the day (compulsive hand washer here).
Do you need it?
Yes. I'm not a body care fanatic (face care is another story) but the Everything Rescue Balm is fantastic. Is it a miracle? Nothing in topical beauty is. This is however an excellent solution for dry, itchy, or chapped skin whenever it strikes. Lips, cuticles, dry patches — it handles all of it without fuss.
