Fat and the Moon Balm and Buds Tincture is a 1 fl oz, alcohol-based herbal tincture formulated for people seeking plant-based support using organically grown and ethically wildcrafted ingredients. It is suited for values-driven consumers who prioritize simple formulas, low-waste packaging, and small-batch production. This tincture contains high proof spirits, organic lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), organic licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), and ethically and safely wildcrafted myrrh resin (Commiphora myrrha). Fat and the Moon describes its products as “organic and freshly made-to-order skin food” and does not use synthetic preservatives “that make things last forever.” The Balm and Buds Tincture is designed to last about 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place. The formula is plant-based and free from common synthetic cosmetic additives such as parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, mineral oil, petrolatum, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, based on the published ingredient list. Each batch is handmade under one roof by the Fat and the Moon team in Nevada City, California. The brand emphasizes working with abundant, ethically harvested, and organically cultivated plants and formulates non-toxic body care alternatives. Packaging is designed for recyclability and reuse. The tincture comes in an aluminum bottle and a glass dropper top. The aluminum bottle can be cleaned and placed in metal recycling. The glass pipette can be separated from the lid and recycled with glass; the plastic component of the dropper top can be collected and sent back to Fat and the Moon for responsible recycling through Terracycle.
