Fortunately, there is a lot we can do to take care of these beautiful windows of our soul, give them extra care and show love to both our eyes and the delicate skin around them ❤️
Eye balm saved me on the camping trip!
The tent test that changed everything - and still stands ⛺️
I developed Eye balm simply because I constantly had swollen eyes and it was a pain in the ass! Up all night + toddler life + Vossabia entrepreneurial life + PhD fellowship position at UiB + commuting Voss-Bergen etc. = SWOLLEN eyes! 😅
I dug into my herbal books, did some thorough research, and came across the super plant. Arnica Montana (Sunflower in Norwegian) which I had used a lot before (Arnica is known to many athletes because of its good effect against swelling and bruising). 🌼
Arnica has a long history of healing and skin care. Read more about arnica's role in skincare in this blog post!
After a lot of work, I had the recipe ready in 2007, with a fantastic combination of beeswax and superb plant oils. And I promise, it worked! My puffy eyes were a thing of the past overnight!
It probably sounds too good to be true, but that's how it was for me. And I did the ultimate test at a campsite in front of Etnemarknaden shortly after the product was finished.
Camping is the absolute worst thing for my eyes. Maybe others have experienced the same thing? Very humid air in the tent and pretty bad sleep, I get BAGS under my eyes.
The tent test in Etne:
⛺️ First night without Eye Balm : I woke up with eyes swollen like balloons.
⛺️ Second night with Augebalsam : Zero bags – and I could stand fresh and cheerful at the market!
And now, 18 years later, I repeated the tent test. We were on a magical mountain hike, and of course I had my tent essentials kit with me: Eye Balm , Calendula Balm and Panther Balm .
We all got a good use out of it! Jonatan got scrapes AND burns: Calendula Balm saved him! Giant mosquito swarms: Panther balm saved us. Tent night: Eye balm saved us.
Uforsamma fresh after the tent life ✨
The fire was extinguished, I applied eye balm and we went to bed in the tent for the night.
So! It was torture! 😱 I was lying on a 2 cm thin mattress pad (with a 51 year old body that feels it in its back if the mattress topper is not completely perfect, hello Princess on the pea), and to top it off: I had a straitjacket-like sleeping bag that was very tight AND very cold! Damn flat! 😂
I slept maybe only 3 hours! When I crawled out of the wet tent in desperation at 0520, I expected to look absolutely terrible. But no - eye balm had saved me again. I looked unashamedly fresh!
👉 After 18 years, I'm still just as impressed.
Before and after a night of Eye Balm! And only three hours of sleep!
The goal and motive of the Augebalsamen was an eye ointment that prevented and removed swollen eyes, and check check it out! ✓
But the combination of health-giving plants has provided an incredible number of other uses over the past 18 years!
People around the country have openly shared their experiences that Augebalsam not only works on bags and swollen eyes, but SO much more.
Customers report good results on dry, sore and intolerant skin around the eyes. Eczema, watery eyes, lines, wrinkles, pigment spots, redness of the skin, and it heats up SO much that many people who can't tolerate much on their skin say, "Finally, something I can tolerate!" 💫
I myself use the Augebalsamen both as an "eye cream" and 🌜night cream (alternating between it and Tindved and Nesle ) and the skin looks both younger and more supple. And then you have those who get longer lashes with the Augebalsamen.
Yes, just take a look at some of the customer messages we receive:
The ingredients – natural plant power for the skin 🌿
All these good experiences are not without reason. Eye Balm is not your ordinary eye cream. It is packed with carefully selected plant oils that make the skin healthy, supple and balanced:
- 🌼 Arnica/sunflower – reduces swelling, inflammation and irritation.
- 🍎 Pomegranate oil – rich in antioxidants that reduce lines and wrinkles, and give new elasticity and glow.
- 🌿 Hemp oil – moisturizes without clogging pores, balances oil production, reduces acne, soothes eczema and irritation – and has an anti-aging effect.
- ✨ Squalane (from olives) – super mild and nourishing, retains moisture, makes the skin silky soft and is suitable for sensitive skin.
👉 The combination of these four plant powers makes Augebalsam unique – and explains why it has been the savior of thousands for 18 years.
I developed Augebalsam when Ylva was born in 2007. Today she is a big fan herself!
PS I love squalane so much that I make sure to include it in my family's diet too! My tip: use Amaranth flour in your bread baking. The Amaranth plant contains a lot of squalane.
So much more than an "eye cream"
Eye balm is developed to care for swollen, sore eyes – but can be used for much more:
- 🌙 As a night cream – and eyelash serum.
- 👀 As a makeup remover – mild and gentle.
- 💧 For wounds, eczema and intolerant skin and watery eyes.
- ✨ Even for psoriasis, acne and pigment spots.
Tip: Make a refreshing eye rinse with chilled chamomile or fennel tea – perfect with Eye Balm when your eyes are tired.
The counter is full of freshly made eye balm!
P.S. ♥︎
Did you know that "augebalsam" is Norwegian for eye cream? But not just any eye cream – our Augebalsam is the most velvety and effective! ❤️
Eye balm delivers every time - from camping trips to everyday stress, from eczema to lines and bags.
Maybe it's your turn to experience the wonder?
