Why we made this

We find a sense of deep calm visualizing a place in Squamish Territory where Mimts' grows extensively. We created the Mimts' Usnea Restorative Hand & Body Balm as a way to bring clarity, calm, and deep nourishment to everyday skin care. Named after Mimts'—the Squamish word for Usnea lichen—this balm honors the plant’s resilience and its natural ability to soothe and restore. With cooling, anti-inflammatory Usnea lichen at its core, and enriched with shea butter, lavender, and clary sage, this formula is designed to calm irritated skin, replenish moisture, and leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and balanced. Whether used daily or as an after-shave ritual, it offers a grounding moment of renewal for both body and spirit.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cera Alba, Citrus Lavandula Angustifolia (Flower) Oil, Salvia Sclarea Oil, Usnea Barbata (Lichen)

Instructions

Apply a small amount to hands after washing and massage into skin, nails and cuticles for deep moisturizing. Apply as a body balm to restore dry skin all over. Store at room temperature.

Key Ingredients

Mimts' - Usnea Lichen

Mimts’ / Usnea Lichen (Usnea spp) is characteristic of rainforests in the Pacific Northwest. A lichen that hangs from moss-covered tree branches, it signifies the cleanliness of the air. This unique and resilient plant thrives in the most challenging environment and is known for its clearing, cooling and clarifying properties, helping to maintain balance, leaving it feeling soft and supple.

Lavender

Lavender (Citrus Lavandula Angustifolia (Flower) Oil) is a fragrant, flowering herb known for its calming aroma and gentle yet powerful skincare benefits. Whether used as an essential oil, hydrosol, or flower extract, lavender brings soothing, antiseptic, and balancing effects to all skin types

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil (Cocos nucifera) is a rich, creamy oil extracted from the dried meat (copra) or fresh kernel of the coconut palm fruit. Prized for its intense moisturization, antimicrobial properties, and skin-softening effects, it melts on contact and forms a protective barrier that locks in hydration.

“I tried a sample today and immediately purchased some. My hands went from dry, cracked and bleeding sandpaper, to beautiful, soft and hydrated, but not overly greasy as the salve soaked into my skin!”

Literally the Best!

This keeps my hands so soft and hydrating as a health care worker that washes their hands frequently. I've recently starting bringing this to work for both my coworkers and my patients. I work primarily with the homeless population in Calgary and I've been using this to treat the severe cracks in their hands and get their hands "winter ready". I've had multiple patients come back a few days later overjoyed that their hands look like "normal people" hands again and showing me how well the moisture barrier has been restored and that the cracks are healing quickly. Thank you thank you thank you for this product! I only wish it came in bulk!!

From sand paper hands to soft as a babies butt hands!

My hands take a beating. I wash my hands a lot! Plus I am a potter and gardener and chef. My hands are like sand paper. They get so dry that most days, they crack and bleed. Especially in the winter months. I tried a sample today and immediately purchased some. My hands went from dry, cracked and bleeding sandpaper, to beautiful, soft and hydrated, but not overly greasy as the salve soaked into my skin! As you can imagine, I have a bazillion hand creams, but the MIMTS restorative hand salve is by far the best thing I have ever used on my poor hands. They are so happy now!!! Thank you! Customer for life now!!!!

I love this - hydrating and smells wonderful

I live in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta and it is a super dry place in the winter. I use this hand balm all winter long. I am not a person that uses creams or lotions, but in the winter it is a must. You only use a small amount and it lasts a long time. It's not a product you need to keep applying multiple times a day to get relief from dry skin. So for me, this container will last a long time!
I also don't like heavily scented things, and this is the perfect amount of scent that smells so lovely. I look forward to using this product because it works great and when I use it I know I am supporting a wonderful company that makes their products with love.
