Dr Botanicals describes the formula as 96% natural. It contains a combination of plant-derived oils, moisturising ingredients and other cosmetic formulation components.

9. What are the benefits of Sweet Almond Oil?
Sweet Almond Oil acts as an emollient, helping maintain skin softness and improve the feeling of dryness.
10. Does it contain real lemon?
The formula contains Lemongrass Oil, which has a citrus-like aroma. Lemongrass is a different plant from the lemon fruit, and the published ingredient list does not identify lemon fruit extract.
11. Can I use the balm every day?
Yes. The manufacturer recommends morning or evening application. You can incorporate it into your regular routine provided your skin tolerates it.
12. Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula contains Lemongrass Essential Oil and fragrance allergens, which may not suit everyone with sensitive or reactive skin. Patch testing is recommended.
13. Does it help dull-looking skin?
The moisturising oils and Glycerin help soften dry skin, which can improve the appearance of dullness and leave the complexion looking smoother and more radiant.
14. Can it help with fine lines?
Moisturising the skin can temporarily soften the appearance of fine lines emphasised by dryness. This product does not permanently remove wrinkles.
15. Should I use this before or after a facial serum?
Generally, apply a lightweight water-based serum after cleansing, then follow with the rescue butter as your moisturising step.
16. Can I use it underneath makeup?
Yes, although the richer texture may be more suitable for some skin types than others. Apply a small amount and allow it to absorb before applying makeup.
17. Is the Rescue Butter suitable for oily or blemish-prone skin?
Its richer formula may feel heavy on some oily or blemish-prone skin types. If this applies to you, start with a small amount and monitor how your skin responds.
18. Do I need sunscreen when using this product?
Yes. Rescue Butter is a moisturiser, not a sunscreen. During the day, apply a suitable broad-spectrum SPF as part of your skincare routine.

Pride Edition identifies this particular product presentation. Check the current manufacturer information for details of the edition rather than assuming that it contains different active ingredients.
