A lightweight, serum-like gel moisturizer that keeps skin feeling clear, refreshed, and hydrated all day. It’s a simple but powerful daily moisturizing step that’ll leave you ready to tackle whatever comes next.

Formerly known as Fortifying Face Balm.

BENEFITS:

• Hydrates Without Heaviness - This lightweight, invisible daily moisturizer has a serum-like texture that absorbs fast and delivers long-lasting hydration. The finishing touch is a light, natural aroma, with hints of real lavender and rosemary.
• Actively Soothes + Firms - Actives like Aloe and Willow Bark nourish and condition skin, for that brightening and tightening effect. It leaves skin feeling clear and firm, with a smooth, shine-free finish.
• Picky Skin-Approved - Ursa Major kept it simple, with gentle yet effective ingredients that you can trust. It’s a great choice for folks with combination, oily, or acne-prone skin (and any skin that likes a lighter touch).
• Layers Nicely - Weave it into your routine anywhere you like. It makes for a perfectly smooth, non-pilling primer under makeup and SPF, a soothing after-sun step, even a refreshing post-shave balm.

PURE INGREDIENTS:

• Aloe - Soothes and hydrates.
• Willow Bark - Natural source of salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid), which soothes and conditions skin.
• Kendi Seed - Delivers fast-absorbing, lightweight hydration.
• Olive Leaf - Contains antioxidants that moisturize and soothe the skin.
• Prickly Pear - Provides immediate and long-lasting relief from irritation.

FAQs:

1. How does this product differ from Fortifying Face Balm? The formula is exactly the same! The only thing that’s new is the name, and the glass packaging.
2. How and when do I use this product? After cleansing and toning (and applying any serums, if that’s part of your routine), we recommend applying Fortifying Gel Moisturizer to lock in hydration and calm the skin without clogging pores or creating shine. It’ll keep skin looking clearer, firmer, smoother, with an all-around healthy glow. As a final step, you can apply a daily sunscreen, especially if you are heading outside.
3. Is this the right moisturizer for me? This product works great for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin types (or any skin that likes a light touch). If you have dry skin, or you’re looking for a thicker moisturizer to incorporate into your routine, you may want to check out the Golden Hour Recovery Cream. 
4. Why is there a change in packaging?  Ursa Major heard your calls for less plastic! That’s why the packaging for their Fortifying Gel Moisturizer has been updated to glass. It’s more sustainable, and in line with their commitment to phasing out plastics. It means less waste for the planet — and rest assured, it’s still the same formula you know and love, just sporting a fresh new (and recyclable) look. 
5. What is the aroma?  An enticing herbal elixir infused with lavender, lime, spearmint, and rosemary.

END OF LIFE:  Clean empty glass bottle for recycle, separate pump topper materials for recycle where facilities exist.
