Golden Yolk Vitamin C Balm

After cleansing, warm a small amount of balm between your fingertips and gently press or massage into your face and neck. A little goes a long way.

For the best hydration, apply to slightly damp skin. We love misting with one of our hydrosols first, then applying Golden Yolk Vitamin C Balm while the skin is still damp to help seal in that moisture.

If using with Golden Yolk Serum: Apply your serum first, allow it to absorb, then follow with a small amount of Vitamin C Balm as your final moisturizing step.

Use morning, evening, or both.

For especially dry skin, apply a slightly thicker layer at night as an overnight moisturizing treatment.

THDA Vitamin C | Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THDA) is a stable, oil-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. Its lipid-soluble structure makes it particularly well suited to oil-based skincare. Vitamin C provides antioxidant support and helps promote brighter, more even-looking skin while supporting collagen and improving the appearance of fine lines and other visible signs of aging.

Pastured Egg Yolks | Naturally rich in fatty acids, phospholipids, proteins, and fat-soluble vitamins. Egg yolks help condition and nourish the skin while supporting softness, elasticity, and a healthy-looking skin barrier.

Jojoba Oil | Technically a liquid wax ester rather than a traditional oil, jojoba closely resembles components of the skin's natural sebum. It absorbs beautifully while helping soften the skin and reduce moisture loss.

Grass-Fed Tallow | Rich in skin-compatible fatty acids, including oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids. Tallow provides rich emollient moisture that helps soften dry skin and support its protective lipid barrier.

Sea Buckthorn Oil | Naturally rich in carotenoids, fatty acids, and antioxidant compounds. Its naturally vivid orange color contributes to Golden Yolk Balm's beautiful color while helping nourish and condition dry, dull-looking skin.

Calendula | Traditionally used to soothe dry and irritated skin. Calendula contains naturally occurring carotenoids and flavonoids with antioxidant properties that help support calm, healthy-looking skin.

Marshmallow Root | A gentle botanical traditionally used for dry, sensitive, and irritated skin. We slowly infuse marshmallow root into jojoba as part of Golden Yolk's soothing botanical infusion.

Vitamin E | A lipid-soluble antioxidant that helps protect skin lipids from oxidative stress while conditioning the skin and supporting its natural barrier.

Turmeric CO₂ Extract | A concentrated botanical extract containing naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. Turmeric helps support a calm, bright, even-looking complexion.

Frankincense Essential Oil | An aromatic botanical traditionally used in facial care for its soothing and toning properties.

Helichrysum Essential Oil | A prized botanical commonly used in formulas for dry and mature skin. Helichrysum is valued for its soothing, conditioning properties and naturally occurring antioxidant compounds.

Why THDA? | Traditional L-ascorbic acid is water-soluble and notoriously prone to oxidation. THDA modifies Vitamin C with lipid-soluble groups, making it far better suited to an anhydrous balm like ours. It offers excellent stability while delivering the antioxidant, brightening, and collagen-supporting benefits that make Vitamin C such a loved skincare ingredient.

Vitamin C is an ingredient we really wanted in the Golden Yolk line, but we wanted a form that actually made sense in an oil-based formula. THDA is oil-soluble and much more stable than traditional ascorbic acid, so it pairs perfectly with the tallow, jojoba, and other nourishing fats in this balm. You get the antioxidant and brightening benefits we want from Vitamin C without turning Golden Yolk into a traditional water-based Vitamin C serum. Add in our pastured egg yolks, sea buckthorn, calendula, and marshmallow root, and this has become one of our favorite balms for dry, dull, or mature skin.
