Black Palm

Throwing it back to our old George Street Studio. Wasn't she a beauty? The air - potent with essential oils. The room - a mash up of Bowie classics and the sound of my tiny children pottering about.

You could find me there late into the night packing wholesale and falling asleep on our brown corduroy chairs or first thing in the morning - loading out for a long day ahead at a market event.

It seen quite literal blood (smashed glass bottles), sweat (lugging furniture, packaging and ingredients up to the first floor) and tears (sometimes of pure exaustion) but mostly of pinch me moments like milestone wholesale orders and magazine features.

It's a complete pleasure to make something that brings you a little spark of joy in this big scary world.

Avocado Oil | Skin Drench 🥑💧

A deep dive into why we include this rich green oil in our Skin Drench Moosturiser.

Deep Hydration & Barrier Repair: High levels of oleic acid (an omega-9 fatty acid) allow the oil to pe*****te deep into the skin layers rather than sitting flat on top, helping restore a damaged skin barrier.

​Rich in Antioxidants & Vitamins: Packed with Vitamins A, D, and E, which protect against free radical damage, support cell turnover and soothe inflammation.

​Boosts Collagen Synthesis: Research suggests that avocado oil can help stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness over time.

​Calms Irritation: Natural anti-inflammatory properties make it effective at soothing redness, eczema, psoriasis and flakiness.

The hiatus taught me everything.

​During a year out with my daughter, I strayed from my own daily practice and tried other formulations. My skin revolted, my space felt cluttered, and the results were empty.

​Returning to this tray was a deep exhale.
​For six years, these active botanicals have fortified my barrier and kept my skin held.

My brief experiment proved that when you edit out the excess, you’re left with only what is essential. You dont need complicated ingredient lists. You dont need promises of overnight miracled.

​Back to slow beauty. Back to intentionality.

Glow from the Foundation. 🌑

​At Black Palm, we don’t do dull. We believe a radiant finish shouldn't be a surface-level illusion—it should be a byproduct of a reinforced foundation.

​This is the result of Internal Masonry. By utilizing biomimetic lipids like Jojoba and Avocado, we don't just "moisturise"; we integrate with your skin’s natural scaffolding. When the lipid barrier is structurally sound, light doesn't just hit the surface—it reflects from the health within.

​Forget the heavy, "plasticy" films of the past. Our Foundational Practice is designed to bond with your skin, leaving a silk-smooth touch and a luminous clarity that lasts long after the initial application.

​The Art of the Edit: No fillers, no frantic steps, just high-performance materials for a permanent glow.
