*RESTOCK IN AUGUST* Yamakusa Balm

$30.00
sold out

50ml / 15ml

You might remember this as Banno Balm, just refreshed and renamed, but same formula!

In Japanese, Yama Kusa means “mountain plants.”

This is an all-purpose balm made from plants traditionally known for their skin-soothing properties:

  • 蓬 yomogi (mugwort)

  • 黒文字 kuromoji (Japanese spicebush)

  • ドクダミ dokudami (chameleon plant)

  • 琵琶の葉 biwa-no-ha (loquat leaf)

  • オオバコ ōbako (broadleaf plantain)

Use on minor skin concerns like dryness, itching, insect bites, and small wounds.

The medicinal herbs are steeped in cured sesame oil for several months without heat, creating a slow, potent infusion.
There are no essential oils used in this balm, it has a nice mild fragrance derived from the whole plants.

Ingredients
Cured cold-pressed sesame oil, mugwort (Artemisia princeps Pampan. & Artemisia indica), kuromoji (Lindera umbellata), dokudami (Houttuynia cordata), broadleaf plantain (Plantago major), loquat leaf (Eriobotrya japonica), wild beeswax, organic brown rice alcohol (trace amounts), natural vitamin E.


✹Made in the old volcanic lands of Mt. Daisen & the sea✹
