Universal Balm

We’re obsessed with Monastery’s Universal Balm because it’s the ultimate skin savior — luxuriously rich yet never greasy, and packed with healing botanicals that actually do what they promise. Whether we’re dealing with chapped lips, dry cuticles, irritated patches, or post-treatment sensitivity, this balm delivers instant comfort and lasting nourishment. Plus, the minimalist packaging is so chic, it looks just as good on your bathroom shelf or bedside table as it feels on your skin.

Mangifera Indica (Mango Butter Cold Pressed), Vitis Vinifera (Grapeseed Oil), Cera Alba (Organic Beeswax), Citrus Aurantium var. Amara L. (Neroli Oil), Santalum Spicatum (Sandalwood), Chamaecyparis (Hinoki), Piper Nigrum L. (Pepper Black Oil)

Apply the Universal Balm anywhere your skin needs a boost. Intended for the hands but great for the entire body and even face. The fast-absorbing formula nourishes dry skin while locking in moisture.

Universal Balm is suitable for all skin types. Dermatologist and microbial tested, free of parabens, chemicals and alcohols.

Every product is made by the Monastery team in their California headquarters. Making everything in-house is at the heart of putting out the best possible product and remaining aligned to their mission of healing. What goes in the bottle is a true expression of their love and appreciation for the ingredients and their natural healing properties.

Athena Hewett is a master esthetician with 20 years of study and training. Monastery was born out of Athena’s frustrations as she saw firsthand that many skincare products were causing or worsening the skin conditions her clients were trying to heal.

Athena’s passion for natural skincare began with childhood visits to Greece to visit her maternal grandmother. Gathering herbs, creating healing remedies, and bringing her awareness to the idea of working with the body rather than against it. Monastery is an homage to Athena’s heritage and her lifelong appreciation of Nature’s offerings.

Athena and the team personally source, formulate, and test every product. They're proud to be a 100% independently owned beauty company.
