With mango butter, grapeseed oil, beeswax, and an intoxicating scent, Universal Balm has the ability to soften skin, reduce free radical damage by supporting collagen, and improve texture while adding a luminous glow. Each balm comes with a custom Monastery coin logo key to assist in getting every last bit of this precious salve out.

Monastery is the creation of Athena Hewett, a master esthetician and herbalist whose deep reverence for plant medicine and skin health is woven into every offering. Inspired by her Greek heritage and the healing rituals passed down through generations, Athena began formulating skincare as a way to merge ancient wisdom with modern skin science. Each product is handcrafted in small batches in Monastery's in-house San Francisco lab, using whole plant ingredients, rare essential oils, and time-honored distillation methods that preserve the vitality of the botanicals. With an unwavering commitment to purity and efficacy, Monastery’s formulas are designed to support the skin’s natural intelligence: nourishing the barrier, calming inflammation, and cultivating radiant, resilient skin.
