What it does: Repair + Restore + Strengthen

This creamy and emollient balm began its journey as scar balm but truly, it is a beauty balm that happens to be great for scars.  What can you say when you put bacuri butter in the same jar as pracaxi oil and bakuchiol? Seriously.  Resiliance is collagen encouraging, brazenly moisturizing (as in it is in it is obsessed with moisturizing your skin), it helps with rashes and redness and stretch-marks plus it's anti-bacterial. If you put it on before you go to sleep, you will still feel its velvety calling card when you wake up. Those shamans and ancient healers did not mess around. 

This balm is great for melsama, scarring, stretch marks, age spots, dark spots and more. Its core ingredients - pracaxi and bacuri -- have long been revered to cure many woes, including snake bites.  

NOTE: Balms, much like our skin, sometimes need a little extra TLC as they are particular to the weather changes! If your balm is a little melted upon arrival or being in your house, give it a little shake and place it in the fridge for about 20 minutes (try not to forget about it there!).  If you do happen to leave it in a little too long (or in a really cold car or on the airplane luggage hold), leave it out at room temperature overnight to thaw. And if its partially melted and a little bumpy, warm it up (and melt it fully) by placing in a sunny spot or running the jar (unopened) under very warm water for 30 seconds, then pop in the freezer to firm up. 

The best way to store a balm to maintain the perfect consistency is at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

What It Does

What makes Resilience different from other balms?
It’s more than hydration — it’s targeted repair. Each ingredient was chosen for its proven ability to improve scars, stretch marks, and visible skin damage.

Can it help fade discoloration or dark spots?
Yes. Bacuri butter’s natural melanin content helps even tone and brighten the skin while reducing hyperpigmentation.

Is it safe for post-treatment or post-radiation skin?
Absolutely. Its natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties help calm and protect compromised skin.

Does it work on the body as well as the face?
Yes — Resilience was formulated for versatility. Use it on any area where skin needs soothing, smoothing, or repair.

How does it benefit mature or thinning skin?
Its high concentration of essential fatty acids restores suppleness and strengthens elasticity, which can decline with hormonal shifts or aging.

Ingredients

What gives Bacuri Butter its dark, distinctive color — and why does it matter?
Bacuri’s deep tone comes from natural methionine and tryptophan, amino acids that aid in collagen synthesis. Its pigment-rich butter provides both nourishment and a luminous, warm glow.

How does Pracaxi Oil enhance healing and hydration?
Pracaxi, rich in behenic acid, improves elasticity and accelerates the fading of scars, stretch marks, and dark spots. It’s revered in the Amazon as a “miracle oil” for its skin-renewing power.

Why include Ucuuba Butter in the blend?
Ucuuba butter supports regeneration at the cellular level. It helps soothe inflammation and protects the skin barrier, making it ideal for sensitive or compromised skin.

What’s the texture like — heavy or light?
Despite its richness, Resilience absorbs quickly, leaving skin supple and comforted without residue.
