What Goes into a Natural Cooling Balm

Last updated: 28 May 2026 · 5 min read

Not My Grain is a small blend on purpose. Each ingredient earns its place. Here is what is inside and why.

Peppermint

Peppermint gives the cooling sensation that most people notice first. It is bright, clean, and unmistakable.

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus sits behind the peppermint with a softer, greener note. Together they create an instantly clearing aromatic feel.

Lavender

Lavender rounds the blend. Where peppermint and eucalyptus lift, lavender settles. It is the reason the balm feels grounding rather than sharp.

A solid base

The botanicals are carried in a simple, skin-friendly base so the balm spreads easily, holds the scent, and absorbs without residue. Made in the UK to BHMA HerbMark Accredited and ISO9001 certified standards.
