Introducing Our Intensive Skin Defence Balm – Your Ultimate Winter Skin Saviour
As the chill of winter sets in, we welcome the season of crisp mornings, woolly jumpers, roaring fires, and comforting hot drinks. There’s a nostalgic beauty to winter, from festive gatherings to cosy nights spent indoors. However, with all its charm, winter also brings along a familiar and unwelcome companion—dry, uncomfortable, irritated skin. Whether it’s chapped lips, flaky cheeks, or sore, red hands, cold weather can be brutal on your skin.
Understanding this seasonal struggle, we’re proud to introduce our newest creation here at Procoal: the Intensive Skin Defence Balm. Designed specifically to address the challenges of winter skin, this multipurpose balm delivers deep nourishment, restores moisture, and supports even the most sensitive skin types—including those prone to eczema, psoriasis, and other dry-skin conditions.
In this article, we’ll walk you through why our Intensive Skin Defence Balm is your must-have skincare companion for winter and beyond. From its carefully chosen ingredients to the multitude of ways you can use it, this is more than just a balm—it’s a complete skin rescue.
❄️ Why Winter Wreaks Havoc on Your Skin
Before diving into what makes our balm so special, it’s important to understand what happens to your skin during the winter months.
Colder weather brings lower humidity, which causes moisture to evaporate more quickly from the skin’s surface. Combine this with harsh winds, indoor heating systems, and the occasional long hot shower (we get it—it’s cold!), and your skin barrier can quickly become compromised. This leads to a host of issues, including:
Dryness and flakiness
Tightness and itching
Cracked lips and hands
Eczema flare-ups
Increased sensitivity
These symptoms can be frustrating, uncomfortable, and sometimes even painful. That’s where our Intensive Skin Defence Balm steps in—to soothe, replenish, and protect.
💧 Why the Intensive Skin Defence Balm Is a Game-Changer
Formulated with a powerful combination of vegan, natural, and dermatologist-approved ingredients, our balm is not just a moisturiser—it’s a full skin defence system in a jar.
Here’s what sets it apart:
Deep Hydration: Penetrates the skin to replenish moisture lost to dry, cold air and indoor heat.
Barrier Protection: Strengthens and reinforces the skin’s natural barrier to prevent further moisture loss.
Soothing Relief: Reduces inflammation, redness, and irritation caused by dry skin conditions.
Multi-Purpose Use: Effective on the face, body, lips, hands, hair, and more—perfect for on-the-go or minimalist routines.
Gentle for All Ages: Safe for adults, children, and even babies as young as six weeks old.
🌿 Let’s Talk Ingredients – The INCI Breakdown
We believe in transparency and education when it comes to skincare. That’s why we want you to know exactly what’s in our balm—and why we’ve chosen each component with care.
1. Olea Europaea (Olive Oil)
This centuries-old skincare staple is renowned for its nourishing and antioxidant properties. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, olive oil delivers deep moisture while protecting the skin from free radical damage. It’s also known for its soothing abilities, making it ideal for calming inflamed or irritated skin.
Why it’s great: Helps repair the skin barrier, promotes healing, and gives skin a soft, supple texture.
2. Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower Oil)
Safflower oil is lightweight, non-comedogenic, and packed with linoleic acid—making it perfect for acne-prone or eczema-affected skin. It supports skin hydration, encourages cell regeneration, and even helps improve the skin’s texture and tone.
Why it’s great: Boosts moisture retention, calms redness, and smooths the appearance of fine lines.
3. Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil
Extracted from cold-pressed hemp seeds, this green-hued oil is a natural powerhouse. It’s high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which help maintain the skin’s lipid balance and prevent transepidermal water loss.
Why it’s great: Reduces inflammation, regulates oil production, and accelerates skin healing.
4. Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla Wax)
A vegan wax alternative to beeswax, candelilla wax gives the balm its luxurious texture while helping to seal in moisture. It creates a protective barrier on the skin that prevents environmental damage and water loss without clogging pores.
Why it’s great: Locks in hydration, smooths skin, and gives the balm its fast-absorbing finish.
5. Calophyllum Inophyllum (Tamanu Oil)
Often referred to as “green gold,” tamanu oil is one of the most versatile natural ingredients available. It’s antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and deeply reparative. Whether it’s used on eczema, acne, scars, or burns, tamanu oil delivers results.
Why it’s great: Targets chronic skin issues and promotes faster, healthier regeneration.
