Rosy Cheeks Stick Balm

A rich, deliciously chocolaty scented balm, in a stick!  When I used to sell skincare products at the market, Rosy Cheeks would always sell out, ALWAYS! I made them so I could have a “portable” soothing balm for my kids during our windy winter months – you can read the story of its creation here […]
