━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Grass-fed beef tallow
Gives the balm its smooth, nourishing feel – without the goopy texture our customers dislike.

Eucalyptus Radiata, Tea Tree & Peppermint
Create the fresh, cooling scent that opens airways and our customers associate with clearer, more comfortable breathing.

Lavender & Cedarwood
Add a softer, calming note that promotes relaxation, making Breathe Free especially suited to bedtime.

Beeswax, coconut oil & castor oil
Help soften the balm, lock in moisture creating a breathable barrier and make it easy to massage onto the skin, with antibacterial benefits.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Free from:

  • Parabens
  • Phthalates
  • Synthetic fragrance
  • Artificial colors
  • Petroleum-based ingredients
  • Fillers

How to use

A little goes a long way.

Massage a small amount under your nose or onto the chest and neck when you feel blocked up and want to breathe more comfortably. It also works well as part of a wind-down routine – pair with our Lavender Soap for a warm shower before bed.

Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas.

Regenerative sourcing

Tallow is naturally similar to the oils found in our skin, making it a rich, nourishing base that feels comfortable rather than harsh or drying.

Our tallow is regeneratively sourced from cattle raised in a way designed to work with the land, rather than against it. They graze on land managed without pesticides, herbicides or fungicides and are raised without antibiotics or steroids.

Packaging & shipping

Breathe Free comes in a glass jar, while selected products are available in Kraft paper tube packaging.

We proudly partner with Packaged Sustainable to deliver 100% plastic and toxic-free, eco-friendly packaging that aligns with our commitment to transparency and the planet.

Breath Free Balm

I purchased this and I love it. I use a little bit of it most every night at bedtime. As a covid-19 survivor or a really bad case. I'm all about healthy products for me. This was my first time purchase from your company. I was very impressed with the care that went into getting my order packaged and shipped. The hand written personal note was an excellent touch. I'll be a repeat customer.

Great Product and Amazing Customer Service

The balm itself works great! It isn’t as powerful of a smell as using Vicks vapo rub, but it irritates my skin a lot less and is completely non toxic, so I would still highly recommend! I received a handwritten note from the owners of the company and even gave me a free sample of lavender soap! Could not ask for a better customer experience!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, Carstenz. We truly appreciate your thoughtful review.

When switching away from synthetic fragrance and menthol-heavy products, it can sometimes feel different at first because the senses are no longer being overstimulated. Over time, as artificial fragrance is removed from daily use, many people find their sense of smell becomes more sensitive and more attuned to natural aromas. Our goal is to support clear breathing while remaining gentle on the skin and completely non-toxic.

We’re so glad to hear you loved the customer experience and the personal touches. Your support and recommendation truly mean a lot to our small business

I was hoping the smell would be a lot more powerful.

Thank you for your feedback, David. We appreciate you sharing your experience.

Breathe Free is intentionally formulated with pure essential oils at safe, skin-appropriate levels, not synthetic fragrance or menthol concentrates. Because of that, the aroma is more natural and grounding rather than overpowering. Many conventional respiratory balms rely on artificial fragrance and high menthol levels to create a strong scent, but we prioritize effectiveness without irritation or overwhelm.

We truly value your honesty and appreciate you giving our clean, non-toxic alternative a try.

I purchased the Breathe Free Balm as a replacement for Vicks’ and it not only replaces it, but it surpasses it for its benefits. The scent is lovely; the application process is easy; and the product serves its purpose. Don’t hesitate to purchase this balm. You won’t be sorry.

Breathe Free Balm

The balm was purchased as a gift for my daughter and daughter in law, each with babies and toddlers. They are especially concerned with product ingredients. They were thrilled with this balm, after I mentioned toxin free and safe ingredients vs. The Vicks (yuck). I was very happy with my purchase and would definitely purchase again (and again). I love this company and its responsive and involved interest in the customer. Many kudos to you all.

The best!

Take this from someone who is obsessed with Vicks, you need this! It’s everything you love about Vicks minus the goopy consistency. It smells great and really unclogs the sinuses. I also use it all most every night before bed for its calming effects. Amazing product!
