Egyptian Gold Balm
A Modern Ritual Inspired by the Past
In ancient Egypt, ceremonial beeswax head unguents were scented with flowers and resins and warmed by the body, releasing fragrance for ritual and wellbeing. This workshop reimagines that tradition as an aromatherapeutic pulse balm, allowing participants to create a personal fragrance and take home a travel-sized keepsake.
This small jar carries with it the echo of Egypt’s heritage.
A timeless ritual, reimagined for today.
Beeswax was treasured as a base for perfumed unguents in ancient Egypt. Cones of wax, blended with resins and flowers, were placed on the head during ceremonies and festivities. The body’s warmth slowly softened the wax, releasing a subtle, long-lasting, and deeply personal fragrance. These unguents were more than adornment: they signified ritual, well-being, and connection to the divine.
Your balm is a modern interpretation of this timeless tradition. Crafted with a base of beeswax and shea butter, enriched with Egyptian jojoba oil macerated with frankincense, myrrh, Egyptian blue lotus and calendula, it honours the protective and nourishing qualities that made beeswax so valued for millennia.
Unlike the ceremonial cones, this balm is designed for personal anointment. Apply it gently to pulse points, including hands and nails. As it warms with your touch, the balm softens, releasing the natural aromatics you have chosen today. Each blend is unique, reflecting your personal preferences and creativity.
