Scent Balms Are Returning: New Stick Format
Botanical Scent Balms Are Returning — New Stick Format, Same Nourishing Ritual
We’re bringing back one of our most requested items: River Organics Botanical scent balms. Reformulated for a smoother, glide-on stick format, these solid perfumes will be available again in late September. Unlike synthetic perfumes, our scent balms are crafted to be worn close to the skin, using ingredients that not only deliver lasting fragrance but also support skin health. This updated format offers the same clean scent experience with easier application and improved skin feel.
A Fragrance That’s Also Skincare
Formulated with Candelilla Wax, Babassu Oil, Shea Butter, Kokum Butter, Jojoba Oil, Açaí Oil, and Vitamin E (Tocopherol), our scent balms are designed to nourish skin while delivering subtle, long-lasting scent; preserve essential oils with natural antioxidants; glide on without leaving a greasy residue; and remain non-comedogenic and safe for everyday use. This blend of fast-absorbing oils and stable butters creates a balanced, skin-friendly base that helps essential oils retain their full aromatic profile. Learn more about our ingredients
New Scent Blends to Expect
Each balm is made with essential oils and natural isolates for a subtle, mood-supportive fragrance experience. Our upcoming blends include, Still Earth (Vetiver + Sandalwood) – A grounding, dry wood scent. Roseth (Rose + Patchouli): A romantic, floral-earthy blend. Flore (Jasmine + Neroli): A light, bright floral for clarity. Solin (Cardamom + Grapefruit): A soft citrus-spice awakening. These scents are alcohol-free and evolve naturally with your body chemistry.
What’s New in the Formula
Our new stick-style scent balm improves portability and ease of use. We’ve made small adjustments to the oil-to-wax ratio to enhance the glide, improve scent longevity, and added Babassu Oil to maintain a dry-touch finish. As always, the formula remains vegan and zero-waste, free from synthetics, alcohols, and preservatives, and hand-poured in small batches.
When You Can Shop
