Hurraw! Balm launched in 2010 out of pure intent; an obsession to create the perfect balm: truly natural, vegan, made from premium raw and organic ingredients. It also had to meet some tough criteria...long lasting, not sweet, never grainy, pocket melt proof...and the list goes on. To ensure the quality and integrity of our product, we manufacture fresh and individually pour each tube of Hurraw! balm in our dedicated NOP and EcoCert certified facility. Our priority is to make Hurraw! the finest balm available... a great product to be used by everyone regardless of lifestyle. Hurraw!

Hurraw! Vata (Almond, Cardamon, Rose)Open sesame! We took a challenge: to create balms based on basic Ayurvedic Dosha principles**Ayurveda is the traditional medicine of India. According to Ayurveda there are three Doshas: Vata (wind), Pitta (fire & water), and Kapha (water & earth). These elemental forces manifest into one's mind and body characteristics. A unique combination of these three Ayurvedic principles (Doshas) are present in everyone. We infuse rich, cold pressed organic sesame seed oil with plants, fruits and roots known to complement each Dosha. We melt in our creamy raw organic coconut oil, rich raw organic cacao butter and emollient cold pressed organic castor oil. We mingle in a trio of flavours from pure essential oils and all natural flavour extracts to create a unique, long lasting, very nourishing lip balm. Vata balm: An herbal infusion of ashwangandha. The soothing almond scent is complimented with notes of spicy Guatemalan cardamom and finished off with a lovely lingering of Turkish rose. Grounding. The Vata Dosha: dry, quick, cold, light, subtle Element: air (wind) & ether (space) Commands: intuition, creativity, imagination, spontaneityEmotions: anxiety, worry, doubt, fear Pacified by: sweet, salty, warm Made with organic, vegan, & raw ingredients.
