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.

Saved me sanity

I was having severe itching from hive like symptoms. And it was quickly spreading- in the middle of the night. I tried a number of recommended natural remedies. Nothing brought relief. I thought of my small tube of First Aid stick and went to work trying to cover all my red, itching spots and patches. I used the entire tube. It brought me instant relief. I couldn’t believe it. The next morning I immediately ordered three large tubes. Can’t say enough about it

We can't survive without our "Magic Medicine"

We can't survive without our "Magic Medicine"... that's what we call the first aid ointment! We use it for everything... I could tell you so many stories about when it's been a life saver... like when we got swarmed by yellow jackets up camping this fall! Nothing takes the "sting" away like "magic medicine". I have a small daycare and every little boo boo is healed with it, including diaper rash and hurt feelings. I've given each of the kids a small stick to have at home and all the parents love the magic. Some of them have had me order extra for them and I have it with me everywhere we go. A 23 year old daughter of a friend of mine got burned by hot gravy on the side of her face and neck recently. I saw them at the grocery store two days later and she was in a lot of pain. Sooo I pulled my little travel size ointment out of my purse and told them about it and said I had a new one at my house if they'd like to pick it up and try it. They did and she felt immediate relief from the pain! At her checkup with the doctor, he asked what in the world she used. He had not seen a burn like that heal so quickly without looking like she'd have any scarring! A man who is acquainted with one of my daycare families had a terrible reaction from some meds he was put on. He had blisters all over his lips so his wife ordered something from that "other company" that sells essential oils. Nothing seemed to help and he was going to quit the meds cuz his mouth hurt so bad. The mommy of my little kiddos offered him some "magic medicine" and it healed him in three days! He is so thankful for your product! Like I said, I could go on and on...I know you don't hear it often enough from people cuz we just don't take the time to sit down and let you know how awesome your company is! Keep up the good work!

LIFE SAVER, literally.

There is NOTHING I wont use this stick for. I have a small one and a regular sized one and I LOVE them and carry one in my purse always. I use them on scrapes, burns, bruises, tattoos, ALL the skin irritations. I love the smell and find a reduction in irritation almost instantly or at least within the day! FAR BETTER than using Neosporin or any other type of OTC cream. Love it + it is a staple in our house!!

It's like duct tape....it fixes anything!

I use this for everything! My house is always stitched with both the first aid stick and the ointment. It seriously heals anything I have tested it on so far. One of my favorite products from Verefina.

Works for any and every skin problem imaginable

I carry one of these in my purse and use it all the time for me and my children. But the other day my friend at the gym felt like she had a shard of glass in the bottom of her foot so I had her put the First Aid Stick on, and she felt immediate relief. I swear by this product! Everyone should have one of these, and I give them to missionaries who are leaving on their missions. So helpful for mosquito bites, rashes, or any other skin ailment.

A MUST have! I have been using First Aid Ointment for 5 years now. I use this on everything from burns, sunburns, scratches, eczema, diaper rashes etc. It has taken the place of Neosporin. I give this as a gift to new moms and they love it and become hooked! I have the mini sizes (chap stick size) in my First Aid kits, my purse, makeup bag and my kids each have their own. This smells good too!

Must have in your first aid kit

When my 6 year old was complaining about a bug bite my friend let her use there First Aid Stick. We've used several over the counter itch and bug bite products but this was instant and long term relief like no other. I went online that minute and bought our own stick!!

Perfect for Travel

I live in a very dry climate, so I use the First Aid Stick a lot for cracked fingers. It's also great for the occasional rash that my kids get an even works for chapped lips, too. The mini First Aid Sticks are also handy for travel and outings with the kids.

I highly recommend you add this to your first aid kit. I love that it is all natural. I use it for everything!!!! Get one and Enjoy.

Magic!

This First Aid Stick is like magic. I've used it on bug bites, minor burns and abrasions and my hands when they get so dry in the winter that they crack. I also get occasional hive breakouts on my skin if I touch something I'm allergic to and this stuff seriously calms it down SO fast. I keep one with me at all times.
