Griffins Tawny 4 oz

A body balm built around sea buckthorn — the ingredient doing the real work here, giving this its warm, natural tawny cast without a trace of iron oxide. Olive and sweet almond oil carry it, apricot kernel oil softens it, kaolin clay keeps it from sitting too heavy. Elemi and cistus round out the scent, honey anchors it, and a light dusting of gold mica catches the light as it absorbs.

Named for the color, not a myth — tawny, from the Old French for warm tan-brown, earned honestly by what's actually in the tin.
