Ingrediants
Organic Apricot Kernel Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Botanical Essential Oil Blends
Our balm begins with organic, cold-pressed apricot kernel oil and organic, unrefined jojoba oil. Chosen for their lightweight feel and natural character, these botanical oils form the foundation of every batch. We scent our balms exclusively with Aura Cacia essential oils, creating simple botanical fragrances without synthetic perfumes or fragrance oils.
Unrefined Shea Butter, Natural Cacao Butter
We use unrefined shea butter sourced from Nigeria and natural cocoa butter made from Peruvian cacao beans. Chosen for their rich texture and natural character, these ingredients help give our balm its smooth application and balanced consistency.
Unfiltered Beeswax
Our unfiltered beeswax is sourced from Northern Alberta, Canada, far from commercial farming and industrial development. The wax is collected from hive frames without harming the bees, then separated from the honey and formed into blocks. Because it remains unfiltered, each batch retains its natural character, including subtle variations in color, aroma, and appearance.
Jars & Tins
We chose premium violet glass for our full-size balms because it combines timeless beauty with practical benefits. Designed to help protect light-sensitive ingredients, these distinctive jars are durable, reusable, and made to be enjoyed long after the balm is gone. Our travel tins offer the same commitment to thoughtful packaging in a convenient size that slips easily into a pocket, purse, or travel bag.
Why We Started
Blue Cove Botanicals started with one simple goal: to make a balm we truly wanted to use.
Suzanne wanted a balm made with carefully chosen ingredients, but even the products we liked never felt quite right. Some were too soft, others too firm, and many contained ingredients we would have preferred to avoid. So we decided to make our own.
As time went on, we created different versions for ourselves. Suzanne preferred a firmer balm, while Matthew liked a softer one. The balm we offer today is the result of countless small adjustments and falls right in the middle: rich enough to protect, yet still smooth and easy to apply.
We took great care in choosing every ingredient and supplier, always searching for the highest quality we could find. Not every ingredient is certified organic, but each one was selected intentionally based on its quality, sourcing, and performance.
As friends and family began trying our balms, we found ourselves giving away more and more jars. What started as a personal project gradually became something larger. Sharing our balms with others made us realize we had created something special, and we loved the idea of building something together - a product we genuinely use, believe in, and are proud to share.
Today, we still make every jar of Blue Cove Botanicals balm in small batches, with the same care and attention that went into those very first jars we made for ourselves.
