hellomellow · ingredient transparency

nothing hidden.
everything intentional.

every ingredient in every hellomellow product has a job. no fillers, no water, no synthetic fragrance, no petroleum. what you put on your skin is absorbed into your body — we take that seriously.

section one · the foundation

the base ingredients.
where the real work happens.

most skincare is 60–80% water. ours is 0% water. every hellomellow product is built on a base of concentrated plant fats and healing oils that your skin actually recognizes, absorbs, and uses. this is what makes the results feel so different.

🌾
candelila wax
structure · vegan sealing
a plant-derived wax from the candelila shrub — our vegan alternative to beeswax in the body butter. it creates structure, seals in moisture, and gives our body butter its thick, whipped texture without any animal-derived ingredients.
body butter
🫒
olive oil
conditioning · antioxidant
one of the oldest skincare ingredients on earth. rich in squalene and oleic acid, olive oil deeply conditions and softens skin. its antioxidant content helps protect against free radical damage and slows the signs of aging.

🌰
sesame oil
warming · penetrating
used in ayurvedic skincare for thousands of years. sesame oil has a natural warming quality that helps it penetrate deeply into the skin. it's rich in vitamin E and zinc, making it excellent for skin repair and protection. it absorbs beautifully without greasiness.

🌿
rosemary oleoresin extract
natural preservation · antioxidant
our only preservative — and it's completely natural. rosemary oleoresin extract (ROE) is derived from rosemary leaves and prevents our oils from going rancid without any synthetic preservatives. it also has its own antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. clean preservation the way nature intended.

🍯
beeswax
sealing · lip texture
a natural emulsifier and protective barrier. beeswax seals in the butters and oils, creates a breathable barrier against environmental damage, and gives our lip butters their satisfying, non-sticky glide. nothing synthetic replicates what beeswax does for a lip product.
lip butter
our signature ingredient · handmade in idaho

organic calendula-infused
jojoba oil.

this is not an ingredient we buy. we make it ourselves — by hand, in small batches, in our idaho studio. fresh organic calendula flowers are slow-infused into jojoba oil over several weeks, allowing the plant's healing compounds to fully transfer into the oil. the result is one of the most skin-healing carrier oils we know of, and it's in every single hellomellow product.

1
source organic calendula flowers only certified organic — no pesticide residue makes it into your skin.
2
slow cold infusion into jojoba weeks, not hours. the healing compounds fully transfer at low temperature, preserving their potency.
3
strain · test · use immediately no shelf storage. we make what we need and use it fresh in small-batch production.
4
what it does for your skin deeply anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and skin-soothing. jojoba mirrors the skin's own sebum — it absorbs like nothing else.
section two · bath & soak ingredients

salts, minerals,
and the good stuff.

our bath salts and scrubs use three distinct mineral salts — each one selected for what it specifically does for your skin and body. nothing generic, nothing filler.

🏔️
pink himalayan sea salt
sodium chloride
ancient mineral salt mined from deep himalayan deposits. contains 84 trace minerals including magnesium, calcium, and potassium. exfoliates, remineralizes, and detoxifies. the pink color comes from iron oxide — a sign of mineral richness, not artificial coloring.
bath salt · body scrub
🌊
pacific sea salt
sodium chloride
solar-evaporated from pacific ocean water. coarser grain for deeper exfoliation. naturally rich in magnesium and bromide which help relax muscles and calm skin. sea salt draws toxins out of the skin while replenishing minerals — a true two-way exchange.
bath salt · body scrub
🛁
epsom salt
magnesium sulfate
technically not a salt at all — it's a pure magnesium compound. absorbed transdermally through a warm soak, magnesium sulfate relieves muscle tension, reduces inflammation, and supports sleep. the reason a bath feels so different from a shower. our most functional soak ingredient.
bath salt
🌾
baking soda
sodium bicarbonate
alkalizing and deeply softening. baking soda neutralizes acids on the skin surface, balances pH, and creates the silky-smooth water texture that makes our bath soak feel luxurious rather than just salty. it also has mild antibacterial properties and soothes irritated or itchy skin.
bath salt
section three · energy shifting spray

what makes the spray
actually work.

most room sprays are alcohol and synthetic fragrance. ours is distilled water, probiotics, and pure essential oils — with nothing that irritates skin, lungs, or nervous systems. you can spray it on yourself, your mat, your pillow, your car. safe on skin. safe to breathe.

💧
distilled water
base carrier
pure distilled water — no minerals, no contaminants, nothing that interferes with the essential oils or creates residue. it's the cleanest possible base for a spray formula.
🦠
probiotics
natural preservation · skin microbiome
we use probiotics as our preservation system instead of alcohol or synthetic preservatives. they crowd out harmful bacteria and keep the formula stable — while also supporting your skin's natural microbiome. zero irritation, zero dryness. this is why our spray feels different on your skin than anything else you've used.
🌿
pure essential oils
aromatherapy · intention
the same therapeutic-grade essential oil blends used in all our products — just in a water-based delivery system. each intention blend is formulated to work through both topical absorption and inhalation. see the essential oils section below for the full breakdown of every oil we use.
section four · intention ingredients

the essential oils.
what shifts your mood.
