Rescue Balm

"The multi-use balm you'll find a reason to use daily."

The short answer

Hero's Rescue Balm is a soothing balm for dry, irritated spots, post-pimple areas and chapped bits. It's a small tube that earns its place in a bag or nightstand. A quiet favorite. Think chapped corners of the nose, dry cuticles and healing post-pimple spots.
