An Autumn Gift

Spend £60 and I'll add an Apricot & Geranium Cleansing Bar (worth £21) to your order, on me.

Handmade with nourishing plant oils and beautifully scented with geranium, it creates a creamy lather that leaves skin feeling clean, soft and comfortable.

A little everyday luxury, just for you.

Automatically added at checkout, while stocks last.

Our most celebrated product — winner of 19 industry awards, and the one customers come back to again and again.

The Intensive Balm with Marshmallow & Frangipani was made for skin that feels seriously dry, uncomfortable, or like nothing is working anymore. Skin that feels tight the moment you step outside. Skin that creams sit on top of without doing much. Skin that needs something different.

Solid in the jar, it melts on contact into a silky, weightless layer that sinks in rather than sitting on top — deeply nourishing without any greasiness or heaviness.

What customers tell us: skin feels softer and more comfortable within days. Dryness, tightness and irritation calm down. Skin that felt rough and unhappy starts to feel like itself again.

Use it your way — a light layer in the morning under your SPF, or more generously at night as an intensive treatment while you sleep. A little goes a long way — your 15ml jar typically lasts 4-6 weeks with daily use, the 30ml 2-3 months.

If your skin feels dry all the time, reacts easily, or nothing seems to give it lasting comfort — this is where to start.

Handmade in small batches. Free from palm oil, silicones, artificial fragrance and colour. Always cruelty-free.

Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Camellia Oleifera (Camellia) Seed Oil*, Cera Alba (Beeswax)*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Isoamyl Laurate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter*, Argania Spinosa Kernel (Argan) Oil*, Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Root Extract*, Zea Mays (Corn Flour) Starch*, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isoamyl Cocoate, Amaranthus Caudatus (Amaranth) Seed Extract*, Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Oil, Calendula Officinalis (Calendula) Flower Extract*, Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile) Flower Oil*, Plumeria Acutifolia (Frangipani) Flower Extract, Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract*, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Citronellol**, Geraniol**, Linalol**, Citral**, d-Limonene**, *Organic ** Naturally occurring in essential oils

We hand pick the most beautiful ingredients to go into my Intensive Balm.

These are not the latest 'must have' ingredients based on some celebrity fuelled craziness. Instead these are my favourite plant power -house ingredients that will comfort and nurture your skin.

All our magic plant oils combine occlusive and emollient properties. That means skin softening, nourished, comfortable skin while helping to reduce transepidermal water loss. (TEWL). What you end up with is water trapped against your skin and smooth, elastic feeling, comfortable skin

My ingredients include:

Amaranth Seed Oil C02 Extract - I include this powerful C02 botanical extract because is great for supporting smooth and hydrated skin, and added bonus, it calms irritated, itchy skin.

Argan Oil - My pure, cold pressed Argan Oil is rich in inflammation busting essential fatty acids and is suitable for both dry and oily, skin types.

Beeswax - Providing both emollient and occlusive properties, this natural wax is nourishing, protecting and anti-bacterial.

Calendula C02 Extract - Healing and anti-inflammatory, one of nature's best healing ingredients. Skin protecting and soothing, especially on skin that is irritated.

Camellia Oil - A light feeling, easily absorbed plant oil, which is a superb moisturiser. I include it for its moisturising and repairing properties, and because it is well tolerated amongst my customers with sensitive skin.

Chamomile, Blue - This beautiful blue essential oil distilled from chamomile flowers, and I have added tiny amounts here because it contains Bisabol and Chamazulene which help with irritated, sensitive skin.

Coconut Oil in the right proportions provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to the skin.

Frangipani Flower Extract - the extract from the frangipani or plumeria flower provides a beautifully uplifting and relaxing scent.

Jojoba - One of my favourites - a skin softening, easily absorbed, light oil, very similar to the sebum found in our own skin. Suitable for all skin types, including problem, oily and combination skins.

Marshmallow Root Oil - This is all about more hydrated skin, and my customers love it. My oil is made with the roots of the Marshmallow plant macerated in Sunflower Oil, A deeply hydrating oil that helps maintain the hyaluronic acid levels in the skin, while soothing and calming itchy, irritated skin.

Shea Butter - this butter from the nut of the African Mangifolia tree contains allantoin, a powerful occlusive agent. My customers love the deep hydration this butter brings. Shea Butter can be irritating to skin in large quantities; I use just enough to strike that balance between moisture and being well tolerated by my customers with sensitive skin.

Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract - this little beauty is all all about more moisturising, softening and firming. An extract from the buds of the flower.

This hydrating balm has a rich, floral scent.

Pure frangipani flower extract, lends it a bright, uplifting floral note, while geranium flower oil adds a soft, sweet note. Together these give a beautiful calming and uplifting aromatherapy effect.

All our aromatherapy scents come from pure essential oils with no artificial fragrances.

The 30ml jar will last 2-3 months. This is a 2 pack. All of our Rose Tree products contain high concentrations of plant oils and extracts so less product is needed.

Questions About the Intensive Balm?

Name: Intensive Balm with Marshmallow & Frangipani 2 Pack
Brand: www.therosetree.co.uk
SKU: TRT1041
Price: 83.0 GBP
Availability: InStock

Will it really work on very dry, sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin is exactly who this balm was made for. Many of our customers come to us because their skin has become more reactive, more easily irritated, and harder to please than it used to be — and conventional skincare was making things worse, not better.

The Intensive Balm is formulated without harsh actives, synthetic fragrance, SLS, silicones, or anything that commonly triggers a reaction. Instead we use gentle, nourishing botanicals — marshmallow root, blue chamomile, calendula — that work with your skin rather than against it.

That said, every skin is different. Which is why we offer a 30-day Happiness Guarantee. If anything doesn't agree with you, just let us know and we'll either find you something that works better, or refund you. No stress, no complicated returns process.

Does the Intensive Balm feel greasy?

Not at all. The balm softens as it warms on your skin, then sinks in to leave a silky, comfortable finish — never oily or heavy. And because it’s so concentrated, you only need the tiniest amount for lasting comfort.

Is it designed for day or night use - or both?

Yes — it’s designed to adapt to your skin and routine. In the morning, smooth on a tiny amount for all-day comfort, then follow with your favourite SPF. In the evening, apply a little more generously as a richer overnight treatment or mask. You decide how to use it — one jar, tailored to your skin’s needs.

How does the Intensive Balm help older skin?

As we get older, skin often feels drier, tighter, and more easily irritated — and the products that used to work just don't anymore. The Intensive Balm was made specifically for this.

It's rich enough to give seriously dry skin the comfort it needs, without feeling heavy or greasy. It sinks in and stays — so skin feels calmer, softer, and more settled, not just immediately after you apply it but throughout the day.

Customers tell us it's the first thing that's actually made a difference after years of trying other products. That's not something we take lightly.

Why Is the Intensive Balm so Popular?

Because for a lot of people, it's the first thing that's actually worked. Skin that's felt dry, uncomfortable and hard to please for years finally feels settled and cared for — and customers come back to it again and again because of that.

17 industry awards and thousands of 5-star reviews tell part of the story. It's our most loved product :)

Rescued my dry skin

Dear Olga, Your intensive balm has rescued my dry skin. It has been feeling so uncomfortable for the last few weeks but even after a couple of days it’s feeling so much better
Thankyou

Thank you so much for taking the time to write Karen — that’s absolutely lovely to hear.

I’m really glad the Intensive Balm has helped settle your skin so quickly. When skin becomes very dry it can feel incredibly uncomfortable, so it’s always wonderful to hear when it starts to feel calm and comfortable again after just a few days.

Thank you as well for your kind words and for choosing The Rose Tree — it really does mean a lot.

Nourishing

I have started using a small amount after the rose cream in the mornings, and it absorbs well and my face feels nourished and I feel more confident!

Honestly, that is the best feedback we could get. Of course I love fiddling with the most beautiful butters and oils but what I really want for all my customers is comfortable skin and feeling more confident, and I am so glad ot is helping you! Olga x

Fantastic product!

I absolutely love this balm. I use it overnight as an additional shot of moisture. It feels and smells lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Brilliant Jenny - that's great to hear!

Intensive balm

I love balms and this one is one of the best!! I love the way it makes my skin feel ... moisturised, supple and hydrated ... definitely going to have this on a regular order!

Thank you! I’m so pleased you’re loving the Intensive Balm — and that it’s earned a spot on your regular list! Moisturised, supple, and hydrated is exactly what I created it for. So glad it’s hitting the mark for you

Olga x

It's like having a daily facial!

I love this balm! It's a treat to use every evening, my skin is hydrated, glowing and feels amazing!

Thank you! That “daily facial” feeling is exactly what I wanted this balm to deliver — a real moment of comfort and glow at the end of the day.

Olga x

Texture lovely

So nice to use a balm which is infused with lovely oils. In fact after suffering a lose of smell I can actually smell these. The texture glides on easily and soaks nicely into the skin.
I wasn’t as keen on the cream. It didn’t go on as well and didn’t seem as hydrating. However I would order the balms.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! I’m so pleased to hear the balm’s texture and scent are working so well for you – especially after experiencing a loss of smell, that really means a lot.

The balm is one of our richest, most comforting formulas – packed with plant oils to nourish and calm skin. I really appreciate your honesty about the cream too. Everyone’s skin is so different, and it’s all about finding what works best for you. Do let me know if you ever want help choosing the right combination.

Thank you again for your support – and for trusting your skin with us

This cream is excellant

Luxurious, rich and soothing

Fantastic company, I reached out to Olga for advice for my skin ( 60 years old, menopausal, dry, prone to redness) which I foolishly applied Roc cream to (thinking I was treating my skin and smoothing wrinkles - big mistake! Left my face feeling as though a sheet of sandpaper had been used over it!!). Olga kindly sent me a very detailed reply, and suggested using this balm and also the Rose & Frankincense cream... I received my order very swiftly, beautifully packaged, and applied the balm just before bed and the cream during the day.
Well, after just one application I was blown away! The soothing effect on my poor sandpapered face was instant! Although the balm feels a little greasy, it does soak in overnight.
And despite the pot being quite small, a little of this product goes a long, long way.
Very impressed! I've reviewed the Rose & Frankincense cream too

Intensive Balm

I won a voucher and decided to try this balm. It feels really good on my 49yr old menopausal skin, at first it feels a little oily but it absorbs in so quickly. It smells so good too and you only need such a little, so should last a lonh time. Have only been using it for a week or so, so can't comment on any skin benefits yet.

So glad to hear that this feels good on your menopausal skin Chantelle - please enjoy!

Only been using

Only used a few times,but really pleased with this so far. Feels lovely and moisturing - makes my skin feel fresh after application. Smells gorgeous and from my usage so far, I guess it's going to last a long while.

I am so glad to hear this Jane - it's all those beautiful ingredients in the Intensive Balm - less is is definitely more Olga 😁

At last!

It took a long time for me to find a good moisturiser for my 93 year old very dry sensitive skin. Then I found Marshmallow and Frangipani Balm at Rose Tree! It has made my skin very soft and moisturised at last!
I am hoping for a nice surprise from Father Christmas (my daughter Karen Silverlock)! I can recommend this to everyone with very dry skin.
Thank you Olga. Happy Christmas to you all. Jean Webster

Hi Jean,

Thank you for your lovely review! We have lots of older customers but 93 years old might make you the oldest! We are so happy to hear that our Intensive Balm with Marshmallow & Frangipani has made a difference for your dry and sensitive skin. Happy Christmas to you and your daughter.

Love from,
Olga and the Rose Tree team

Intensive Balm

Beautiful enriched product. Always a treat to use at night.
Love The Rose Tree and my skin never tires of it either.

Thank you Jenny - that is great to hear! Olga x

My favourite cream of all times

I have been using this cream for the last 7-8 years and it’s the best I’ve ever tried.

Praise indeed! That's great to hear Denisa. Thank you for taking the time to let us know🙃

Fabulous natural product

I have used this rose tree product for many years, I’m 50 something with dry skin and I find it very nourishing.

Thank you so much Jo for your lovely words - and can I say 50 something is where all the good stuff is happening!! As you are finding, the Intensive Balm is great for dry, thirsty skin - but without any of the heavy feeling you can get with some traditional balm type products.

Dry skin

I’ve always had dry skin and it’s worse now I am post menopausal.

I asked for advice on the best combination of products to use and was recommended
Rose and Blackcurrant facial oil and
Radiance cream with rose and frankincense

I have not been disappointed. My skin feels less tight and is luxuriously radiant now that it is properly mousturised

I'm so glad to hear this Hilary - thank you for your lovely words. I find so many customers struggle with extremely dry skin especially post menopause. This is the combination I use on my own dry skin - the Rose & Blackcurrant and the Radiance Cream which together make for moisturised, radiant skin. Olga

Exquisite

Is now a regular staple of my beauty treatment. Last thing I put on before going to bed. The smell is wonderful and my skin feelsl smooth and nourished in the morning.

It's our favourite too - perfect for happy, nourished skin in the morning. Thanks for taking time to leave a review.

Intensive Balm

Love the balm, hydrates my skin beautifully and include in my morning and.nighttime routine,
Eagerly awaiting the exfoliator 😃.

Glad to hear this Ann - it's our most popular balm ever! The exfoliator is coming, its been super frustrating not being able to source one key ingredient, but should not be too much longer! Olga

More Personal Skincare

I created The Rose Tree because I know how frustrating it is when skin becomes drier, more sensitive and harder to please than it used to be.

Too much beauty advice is 'anti-ageing' and 'buy more'.

So I make things differently — small-batch, award-winning skincare designed to comfort, nourish and support dry, sensitive skin without overwhelm. Less really is more.

This starter set is a simple way to discover what works for your skin before committing to full sizes.
