Ere Perez Papaya SOS Marmalade Multipurpose Balm
A rich multi-purpose balm for dry, irritated skin that needs a little extra love
This is the one to keep around for... pretty much everything.
Ere Perez Papaya SOS Marmalade is a rich, concentrated balm designed to nourish, soothe and protect dry or irritated-feeling skin from head to toe.
At the heart of the formula is fermented papaya, combined with a seriously nourishing blend of mango and shea butters, hemp, chia, coconut, jojoba and sweet almond oils, plus calendula and vitamin E. Together they help replenish moisture, calm irritated-feeling skin and support the skin barrier.
Use a tiny amount on dry patches, lips, hands, cuticles, elbows and heels, or smooth a little through dry hair ends. It's also a particularly handy little pot to throw in your bag when travelling.
Basically, when something feels dry and needs some love, reach for the marmalade.

The Experience
"Marmalade" is actually quite a good description.
This is a rich, concentrated balm rather than a traditional cream or moisturiser. Warm a tiny amount between your fingers and it melts into skin, leaving dry areas feeling nourished and protected.
And we really mean tiny amount. A little goes a very long way.
It's one of those satisfying products you can keep discovering uses for. Dry lips? Yep. Rough elbows? Yep. Cuticles? Yep. Cracked heels? Yep. Frazzled hair ends? Also yep.
Very much a throw-it-in-your-bag-and-see-what-happens kind of product. 😂
How To Use
Using a clean finger, take a small amount from the jar.
Warm between your fingertips to soften, then gently press or massage into wherever needs a little extra nourishment.
Try it on dry patches, lips, hands, cuticles, elbows, heels or the ends of dry hair.
For the face, use a small amount wherever extra richness is needed.
A little goes a long way, so start small and add more if needed.

Why we love
Ere Perez
We love Ere Perez because it proves natural beauty doesn't have to mean compromising on performance, colour or fun.
Founded in Bondi in 2002 by Mexican-born Ere Perez, the brand creates beautiful, easy-to-use makeup and skincare powered by plants, botanicals and skin-loving ingredients, with a less-is-more approach that feels very at home at Oh Natural.
Ere Perez is certified cruelty-free, predominantly vegan and carbon neutral, with a growing focus on lower-waste, recyclable and refillable packaging too.
But mostly? We chose it because the products are genuinely lovely. Thoughtful formulas, beautiful colours and makeup that celebrates the face you've already got rather than suggesting you need a new one. Feel good beauty, basically. 💗
