About le·balme

le·balme is a dermatologist co-formulated clinical apothecary brand. The flagship product is le·balme: a 1.3 oz / 40 ml tube priced at $24 USD. It is designed as the final step in any skincare routine, layered after serums and moisturizers to lock everything in. Co-formulated with Dr. Adarsh Vijay Mudgil, MD, FAAD, a double board-certified dermatologist based in New York City.

Key ingredients: 100% white purified petrolatum (the most clinically proven occlusive in dermatology, shown to reduce transepidermal water loss by up to 99%), plus ceramides, niacinamide, squalane, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. The product is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and safe for lips, cuticles, under-eye, sensitive skin, post-procedure, kids, and pets.

le·balme is a "secret amplifier" for skincare. It does not replace any step, it finishes every step. The brand positions one tube as suitable for 100+ everyday uses. Founded by Rachel Apfel Glass, founder of Glosslab and operator of GHC Ventures.
