My Neighbor's

Details

The most balancing and blemish-calming edition of the Oh, Honey! Hand Balm — pairing the deep healing power of 850+ MGO certified Manuka honey and grass-fed Hudson Valley tallow with Blue Tansy essential oil steam-distilled from Moroccan Tanacetum annuum. Blue tansy is the most celebrated anti-inflammatory botanical in the My Neighbor's collection, and its combination with Manuka honey here creates an exceptionally potent formula for hands that are reactive, breakout-prone, or dealing with persistent redness, sensitivity, or post-washing irritation. The balm's signature vivid blue tint — a natural result of the chamazulene content in blue tansy — signals exactly how active the formula is. As with all Oh, Honey! hand balms, it is thick and concentrated by design, built to genuinely repair rather than temporarily mask dryness, and a little goes a significant way. Housed in a refillable aluminium vessel with a gold turn key. Five ingredients. No fillers, no synthetics, no fragrance oils.

How To Use

Use the gold turn key to gently roll the balm up from the aluminium tube. Warm a pea-sized amount between the palms and massage into clean hands, paying particular attention to knuckles, cuticles, areas of redness, and any skin prone to breakouts or irritation. For an intensive overnight repair treatment, apply generously before bed and wear cotton gloves to allow the formula to work deeply into the skin while you sleep. Can also be used on any area of the body experiencing inflammation, sensitivity, or barrier compromise — including elbows, heels, and the face. Note: the blue tansy will leave a subtle tint on very light surfaces — use a dark cloth if needed.

Key Ingredients

• Grass-Fed & Finished Beef Tallow (Sebum Bovinum) — Hudson Valley, NY — The restorative foundation of the formula. Dry-rendered from regenerative Hudson Valley farms and biologically compatible with the skin's own sebum, tallow is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and essential fatty acids that deeply repair, nourish, and rebuild the skin barrier at a level that conventional hand creams cannot achieve. Its compatibility with the skin's natural lipid structure means it absorbs readily and works from within rather than simply sitting on the surface.
• Blue Tansy Essential Oil (Tanacetum annuum) — Morocco — The most powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient in the My Neighbor's collection, and the defining active of this edition of the Oh, Honey! balm. Steam-distilled from Moroccan Tanacetum annuum flowers, its vivid deep blue colour is produced by chamazulene — a potent anti-inflammatory compound formed during distillation that is exceptionally effective at calming redness, soothing reactive and blemish-prone skin, reducing flare-ups from eczema and psoriasis, and supporting the skin's natural healing process. Its natural antimicrobial properties provide additional support for skin prone to bacterial imbalance or persistent breakouts.
• Manuka Honey MGO 850+ (Leptospermum scoparium) — New Zealand — Certified at 850+ MGO, one of the most potent grades of Manuka honey available. The MGO (methylglyoxal) compound at this concentration is clinically validated for its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, wound-healing acceleration, and anti-inflammatory properties — making it an ideal partner to blue tansy in a formula designed for reactive, irritated, and compromised skin. Together they address inflammation from multiple pathways simultaneously, delivering a depth of repair that either ingredient alone could not achieve.
• Beeswax (Cera Alba) — Hudson Valley, NY — Pure Hudson Valley beeswax that gives the balm its thick, concentrated texture and creates a breathable, long-lasting protective barrier on the skin's surface. Locks in the moisture and actives delivered by the tallow, honey, and jojoba, and shields hands from environmental triggers — cold air, wind, repeated washing — that compound sensitivity and reactive skin conditions.
• Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) — Israel — USDA organic, cold-pressed, and unrefined. A liquid wax that closely mimics the skin's natural sebum, delivering lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration and supporting collagen integrity. Hypoallergenic and naturally antiseptic, it ensures the formula applies smoothly and absorbs comfortably without residue — and is well tolerated even by the most reactive skin types.
