EVERYDAY SKIN RESCUE · MULTI-PURPOSE BOTANICAL CARE
The balm you reach for when skin needs extra care
Rescue Balm is Verefina’s concentrated, multi-purpose answer for the skin moments that catch you off guard. Reach for it when skin feels dry, rough, rubbed, chafed, weather-exposed, bug-bothered, or simply in need of a comforting protective layer.
Formerly known as First Aid Stick, it is the same trusted botanical formula—now available in three formats designed for everything from precise, pocket-sized application to gentler coverage across larger or pressure-sensitive areas.
At a glance
| Reach for it | Dry patches · rough cuticles · friction + chafing · post-shave skin · bug-bothered spots · life’s little scrapes |
| Texture | Concentrated · protective · deeply emollient |
| Formats | Firm, mess-free sticks for targeted use · softer jar for larger or pressure-sensitive areas |
| Aroma | Earthy · herbaceous · naturally nutty + warm |
Why the formula feels different
| Tamanu Oil Calophyllum Inophyllum |
The hero botanical. Tamanu’s naturally nutty, earthy oil is deeply conditioning and naturally contains calophyllolide—the rare compound explored more fully below. |
| Calendula-Infused Oil | A classic comforting botanical for dry, delicate, or visibly stressed skin. |
| Sea Buckthorn + Rosehip | Antioxidant-rich oils with naturally occurring fatty acids that help nourish the skin barrier and support a softer, smoother appearance. |
| Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil + Shea Butter | Deeply emollient support that softens roughness and replenishes moisture. |
| Beeswax | Creates the balm’s breathable, protective-feeling layer, helping seal in moisture and keep the nourishing oils close to the skin. |
| Tea Tree, Lavender, Lemon + Benzoin | Included for their traditional roles in botanical skin care—not to perfume the formula. Together with tamanu’s naturally nutty depth, they shape Rescue Balm’s distinctive earthy, herbaceous aroma. |
Why tamanu is the heart of Rescue Balm
Tamanu has been revered in traditional skin care for generations, and calophyllolide may be one reason why.
Found naturally in tamanu oil, calophyllolide is a rare botanical compound being studied for its relationship to collagen formation and the skin’s repair response. In preclinical research, isolated calophyllolide accelerated wound closure, increased collagen content during repair, and supported more organized collagen deposition.
We chose tamanu because this isn’t an ordinary moisturizing oil. Its extraordinary botanical profile makes it uniquely suited to formulas created for skin that has been through something—and needs intensive care to look and feel restored.
When skin has been through it
Reach for Rescue Balm after rubbing, chafing, shaving, harsh weather, outdoor exposure, or life’s everyday skin mishaps. Apply a thin layer to clean skin wherever focused, restorative care is needed.
It’s the remarkably versatile botanical balm customers keep with their family’s everyday care essentials—and reach for when an ordinary moisturizer simply isn’t enough.
Same trusted formula. A name worth remembering.
If you knew it as First Aid Stick, you have found it. Rescue Balm carries forward the exact product customers have kept close for years—just under the name it wears today.
How to use
Sticks: Apply directly to the desired area and gently rub in. The 0.15 oz stick is lip-balm sized for pockets and precise application; the 0.50 oz stick is a larger, family-friendly format for everyday use.
Jar: Scoop out a small amount and smooth gently over the skin. Its softer consistency makes it especially useful across larger surface areas or areas that feel uncomfortable under pressure.
Reapply as needed. Store in a cool, dry place. For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
