Calm Balm for Body, Beard & Hair, 2 oz

Dulce de Donké was founded in 2014 by Walt and Saundra Traywick in Luther, Oklahoma. Their family's search for donkey milk during their daughter's illness led them to raise American Mammoth donkeys and develop a farm-based skincare business. The family's work centers on caring for its herd, making small batches by hand, and helping families through its donkey-milk mission. That personal beginning continues to shape a practical, hands-on approach to making skincare.

Calm Balm for Body, Beard & Hair, 2 oz

Calm Balm is a multipurpose leave-in conditioning and styling balm for hair, beards, and dry skin. The 2-ounce jar brings beeswax, botanical oils, vegetable glycerin, and arrowroot powder together with lavandin, rosemary, and peppermint essential oils. Despite the maker's donkey-dairy roots, this formula contains no donkey milk.

Choose this balm when you want one jar for a beard-grooming routine, leave-in hair styling, or a small amount of skin conditioning. It is a leave-in product rather than a wash-off soap. Its essential-oil blend has an herbal, minty character, so review the ingredients before choosing it for a fragrance-sensitive routine. The jar shown is the product; photographs featuring several jars show alternative views and do not indicate a multipack.

Country of origin

Ingredients

Arrowroot powder (Maranta Arundinacea), palm-free vegetable glycerin, beeswax (Cera Alba), unrefined coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera), castor oil (Ricinus Communis), apricot kernel oil (Prunus Armeniaca), neem oil (Melia Azadirachta), lavandin oil (Lavandula Hybrida), rosemary oil, peppermint oil, and sunflower-derived vitamin E oil. The maker identifies selected botanical ingredients as organic; this is not a claim of whole-product organic certification. Contains no donkey milk.

Beeswax is an animal-derived ingredient, so this formula is not vegan. Read the delivered label before use, particularly if you avoid specific botanical oils, bee products, or fragrance ingredients.

How to use and choose

The maker recommends warming a small amount between the palms until it softens, then distributing it evenly through wet or dry hair. Use sparingly for beard styling or small areas of dry skin, and follow the jar's directions. Keep away from the eyes because the formula contains peppermint essential oil. Replace the lid after use and keep water out of the jar.

Test a new skincare product on a small area before adding it to your routine, and stop using it if it causes irritation. The American Academy of Dermatology explains how to test a new skincare product.
