BIO Restore Balm + Glow

Waterless Restorative Facial Balm 

BIO Restore Balm + Glow was built for skin that has been through something. A cold season, a period of stress, a treatment, years of doing its best without quite enough support. Not broken, just in need of being met properly.

This is a waterless botanical balm with two distinct and deliberate purposes. Restore: a concentrated blend of skin-compatible lipids, barrier-supporting botanicals, and calming actives that give depleted skin exactly what it needs to recover and rebalance. Glow: oil-soluble Hyaluronic Pearls, an innovative form of sodium hyaluronate specifically engineered for waterless formulations, that plumps, smooths, and brings a visible luminosity that standard balm hydration simply cannot achieve.

Formulated by a certified organic skincare formulator, the lipid base draws on Sunflower, Jojoba, Marula oils and Mango Butter, structured with Beeswax for a balm consistency that melts cleanly on contact. Into that base: Rice Bran Oil for ceramide precursors and barrier repair.  Black Currant Seed Oil for its high gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content.  Squalane for skin-identical moisture and a Calendula Herbal Oil (Calendula Officinalis flowers infused in Extra Virgin Olive Oil) that concentrates the plant’s flavonoids and antioxidants directly into a skin-compatible lipid. Rich, calming, and irreplaceable in this formula.

The actives that complete this formula are what make it genuinely professional-grade. Sea Buckthorn CO₂ extract brings concentrated carotenoids and omegas for cell renewal and luminosity. Immortelle (Helichrysum Italicum), one of the most valued botanicals in restorative skincare, delivers regenerative and skin-calming properties alongside the warm, softly floral scent that defines this balm. Bisabolol ensures it remains comfortable on the most sensitized skin.

The scent is the quiet signature of Immortelle: warm, softly floral and lightly honeyed, lifted by Blood Orange and grounded by Frankincense, with a delicate rose note from Palmarosa. Subtle in a balm base. Elegant rather than perfumed.

BIO Restore Balm + Glow is suited to professional use in treatment rooms and equally at home in a daily skincare ritual. Use it as the final sealing layer over serums and creams, as a standalone nourishing balm, or as a comforting finishing step following aesthetic skin treatments. New to the BIOYOND range, offered at a launch price of $49

Key Ingredients:

Hyaluronic Pearls  |  Sodium Hyaluronate + Triolein + Glyceryl Dioleate

Standard hyaluronic acid is water-soluble, so it has no place in a waterless formula. These are oil-soluble pearls: sodium hyaluronate encapsulated in lipid carriers specifically engineered for anhydrous bases. The result is visible plumping, smoothing, and a luminosity that reflects healthy hydration from within the skin structure. The technical innovation that makes this balm genuinely different.

Immortelle  |  Helichrysum Italicum Flower Oil

One of the most prized botanicals in restorative skincare. Known for skin-regenerative and calming properties, Immortelle has a long history in professional skincare for supporting skin recovery and reducing visible redness and irritation. It also gives the formula its distinctive warm, softly floral scent — a byproduct of the active ingredient, not an addition.

Black Currant Seed Oil  |  Ribes Nigrum Seed Oil

Exceptionally high in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid often deficient in dry, stressed, and sensitized skin. GLA plays a direct role in maintaining the skin’s lipid barrier and calming inflammatory responses. One of the most effective botanical oils for compromised skin.

Calendula Herbal Oil  |  Olea Europaea Fruit Oil (and) Calendula Officinalis Flower

Not an extract, but a herbal oil: Calendula Officinalis flowers infused directly in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, concentrating the plant’s flavonoids and antioxidants into a skin-compatible lipid base. This delivery format preserves the full botanical profile. Rich, calming, and deeply nourishing, it quiets visible redness and brings a gentle softening quality to the formula.

Sea Buckthorn CO₂  |  Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit CO₂ Extract

A supercritical CO₂ extract, far more potent than a standard infusion. Concentrated in carotenoids, omegas, and phytosterols. Supports cell renewal, brightens uneven skin tone, and is a key contributor to the visible glow this formula delivers.

Marula Oil  |  Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil

Rich in oleic acid and antioxidants. Absorbs quickly and deeply without heaviness. Valued for its ability to improve skin suppleness and resist oxidative stress. Contributes directly to the balm’s silky, non-greasy finish despite the rich lipid base.

Rice Bran Oil  |  Oryza Sativa Bran Oil

A source of ceramide precursors and gamma-oryzanol, which support the skin’s natural barrier structure. Improves moisture retention, softens texture, and is particularly valued for barrier repair in stressed or compromised skin.

Bisabolol  |  Alpha-Bisabolol

Chamomile-derived and clinically recognised for calming and anti-redness properties. Ensures this balm remains comfortable on the most sensitized skin, and enhances the penetration of other active ingredients.

Who Is This For?

• Dry or dehydrated skin that needs deep nourishment and visible plumping
• Sensitive or reactive skin in need of calming, barrier-supportive care
• Stressed or compromised skin following environmental exposure or aesthetic treatments
• Mature skin seeking luminosity and a smoother, more supple surface
• All skin types as a final sealing layer to lock in hydration and enhance glow

Professional Use

BIO Restore Balm + Glow was formulated with professional use in mind. Its waterless, fragrance-minimal, barrier-supportive formula makes it suitable as a finishing balm following aesthetic skin treatments. The Helichrysum, Bisabolol, Calendula Herbal Oil, and Black Currant Seed Oil GLA provide calming and barrier-supportive properties appropriate for sensitized post-treatment skin. Always follow professional protocols and client skin assessment before use.

FAQ

What are Hyaluronic Pearls and why are they in a balm?

Standard hyaluronic acid is water-soluble, so it cannot be used in a waterless formula. Hyaluronic Pearls are an oil-soluble form of sodium hyaluronate encapsulated in lipid carriers, specifically designed for anhydrous balm and oil formulations. This allows the balm to deliver genuine hyaluronic acid activity, including visible plumping and smoothing, in a format that would otherwise be impossible. It is the technical innovation that earns the ‘Glow’ in the product name.

Can it be used after a facial or skin treatment?

Yes. The formula was developed with professional use in mind as a finishing balm following aesthetic skin treatments. Its waterless format means no water phase to irritate sensitized skin. The calming botanicals (Helichrysum, Bisabolol, Calendula Herbal Oil, Black Currant Seed Oil) are specifically chosen for their barrier-supportive and soothing properties. Always follow the professional’s guidance and your own skin’s response.

Can I use it instead of my regular moisturiser?

Yes, either as a standalone final step or layered over a serum. On very dry or mature skin it works beautifully alone. On normal to combination skin, most people prefer it layered over a lighter moisturiser or serum, using a small amount to seal and enhance. Start with a pea-sized amount and adjust to your skin’s needs.

Will it feel heavy or greasy?

No. Despite the balm format and rich ingredient profile, the lipid selection (Marula, Jojoba, Squalane) is chosen for skin compatibility and a clean finish. The Beeswax provides structure in the jar but melts immediately on contact with skin. Most users describe the finish as velvety and comfortable, not occlusive or heavy.

What does it smell like?

The dominant note is Immortelle (Helichrysum Italicum): warm, softly floral, and slightly honeyed. Lifted by Blood Orange (bright, citrus) and grounded by Frankincense (warm, resinous), with a gentle rose-like note from Palmarosa. In a balm base the scent is subtle overall. Elegant rather than perfumed, and fades gently after application. No synthetic fragrance of any kind.
