Mummy Balm

The personal inspiration

Mummy Balm is my working name for a personal body-balm experiment. My aim is a simple, all-natural formula that makes an everyday moment of care feel considered.

What is currently recorded

Earlier development notes explore a simple anhydrous balm using tallow, jojoba and beeswax. I have since become interested in exploring cacao butter and its connection to Mexico. These are working directions, rather than one final formula.

Questions guiding the next stage

• Which ingredient direction gives the texture I am looking for?
• How will the formula behave in different temperatures and packaging?
• What independent safety and formulation review is needed before sharing it?
