It All Started With Me, my name's Mehmoona and i'm the founder of Balmé. For as long as I can remember, I’ve lived with eczema. It’s more than just a skin concern — it affects how you feel, how you move through your day, and how you see yourself. Irritated, broken skin isn’t only uncomfortable; it’s painful, distracting, and can completely disrupt your peace of mind. The feeling of calm, clear skin is something I’ll never take for granted again.

​

After years of using steroid creams that offered only temporary relief, I knew I needed to find a better way. I started exploring natural alternatives — olive oil, tallow (beef fat), coconut oil, lanolin — and began experimenting with endless combinations in search of what truly worked for my skin.

 

Through patience, persistence, and a lot of trial and error, I discovered the perfect balance: a formula built on Tallow, Coconut Oil, and Black Seed, and another made with Tallow and Calendula. Both brought my skin back to life — nourishing, soothing, and restoring it to a calm state I hadn’t felt in years.

 

I’ve always been someone who creates with my hands — from baking and sewing to art and skincare formulation — and Balmé was born from that same passion for making something beautiful and meaningful. What started as a personal journey to heal my own skin has grown into a way to share what I’ve learned with others seeking relief and balance.

 

At Balmé, I believe skincare is more than a routine — it’s a form of care, connection, and restoration. It’s the first step toward supporting your skin’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
