Don't worry! The Blue Cocoon can melt or change consistency when exposed to heat at or surpassing body temperature, including in transit on its journey to you.

Our results-first formulation process means that we leave out any pore-clogging waxes, stabilizers, and fillers that traditionally maintain a solid balm format, while packing IN only the most extraordinary skin-food goodness.

This unique, concentrated formula is designed to melt on touch, transforming upon the skin into a hydrating, anti-inflammatory fluid that tenderly envelops you in the most decadent azule calm. 

The Blue Cocoon may be enjoyed in any state from liquid to solid. Should you wish to reset your jar to its smooth balmy state at any time, here’s what to do: 

• Screw the lid on nice and tight and place the jar in a bowl of very hot water. I like to pour myself a cup of tea, and with the rest of the water in the kettle, fill your bowl. 

• Note: The goal is to fully re-melt the entirety of the jar to a uniform fluid. This takes just a couple of minutes. 

• Place the still-warm jar gently into the coolest part of your refrigerator (the back) overnight where it will reset to a solid.

• Let it return to room temperature, or feel free to keep chilled during the hottest months for an extra cool and soothing treat (a must for tired eyes!).

The Blue Cocoon is my number one universal recommendation. 

We've seen the most extraordinary results in our clients with rosacea, allergic dermatitis, eczema, and all types of inflammation. For troubled skin, this is like medicine. 

In healthy complexions, The Blue Cocoon performs as the world's best facial oil in a pretty blue balm costume, replacing your daily moisturizer and delivering softness and glow like none other. 

Yes! On most days I personally use both, layering or blending together for the ultimate nutritive cocktail. 

I let The Youth Dew lead for daytime and The Blue Cocoon for the evening, adjusting ratios of both to suit my skin’s evolving needs each day.

The Youth Dew is wonderful for graceful aging protection, balancing oil production, and loading up on antioxidants and vitamins. It delivers immediate brightness and a serious glow boost.

The Blue Cocoon is my first choice for softening and soothing sensitive skin, bringing palpable relief to dry, depleted, and irritated complexions. It’s especially calming and cooling—wonderful for stressed, heated, and redness-prone skin.  

Both The Blue Cocoon and The Youth Dew are stars all on their own and either can be used as a primary moisturizer for all skin types. Together, their impact is amplified, making this duo a foundational staple in our ritual. 

The Blue Cocoon can replace all other serums, creams, lotions, or oils - or can be layered together or with other favorites. 

Individual needs vary greatly, and change with the seasons both inside and around us. For personalized guidance, connect with us at care@maylindstrom.com.

The Blue Cocoon’s hyper-fresh, minimally processed ingredients are pure skin food. 

Impeccably sourced plant oils provide essential nourishment that is beneficial for all complexions. Oils of the highest quality help to:
•Dissolve existing stagnation 
•Reduce breakouts
•Restore glow
•Balance dull and congested skin

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) offer oily and acne-prone skin much-needed hydration and protection. If the skin is stripped of oils through genetics, lifestyle, or aggressive/incompatible product use, the body will overproduce its own oils to compensate for its loss. In skin with a damaged barrier, this can lead to further breakouts and irritation. 

The Blue Cocoon will replenish the skin with EFAs, locking moisture in. Once balance is restored, the sebaceous glands will regulate, setting you on the path to a clearer, healthier complexion.

Of the abundance of active compounds found in blue tansy, chamazulene (a mighty antioxidant) and a-bisabolol are known powerhouses famous for their anti-histaminic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-microbial properties. 

Effective for treating a plethora of conditions ranging from eczema to sun damage, blue tansy acts on a cellular level, relieving heat to reduce skin inflammation. Additionally, a-bisabolol compounds work as a catalyst, helping our other active ingredients, such as our helichrysum, to better penetrate the skin and ensure its highest possible efficacy.

Applied topically, blue tansy oil works to calm rashes and allergic reactions, psoriasis, rosacea, and all forms of acne. With its unparalleled ability to bring relief to troubled complexions, it is like a meditation and spa vacation for your skin. 

Equally captivating is blue tansy’s extensive contribution to aromatherapy and alternative medicine practices. Blue tansy is called on to help combat depression, reduce anxiety, heal sleep disorders and insomnia, and soften the feeling of being out of control. Used therapeutically, blue tansy releases the stuck emotions of anger and allows for more flow in our lives. We are able to let go, feel less overwhelmed and more at one with ourselves.

In short-ish, blue tansy is one of my single favorite ingredients of all time. It is undeniably beautiful in color, smells incredible, feels resonant in the body, and contributes phenomenally to the skin. 

We do not utilize any artificial coloring, or even natural dyes, in our process. The Blue Cocoon's remarkable color occurs as a result of the distillation process of the most incredible blue tansy flowers on the planet. 

As the natural chamazulene content comes purely from the plant alone, differences between each harvest - and the resulting small batches - are to be expected and embraced. 

Fresh jars can vary from pale robin's egg blue, to blue-grey or blue-green, to a more true lake blue. In cool weather or air conditioned rooms, the balm will be more solid and pale in color and a bit softer in scent. In warmer weather or in heated rooms, as The Blue Cocoon softens (or even liquefies) its formula will appear darker and more fragrant. All variations contain the same incredible active compounds that makes this formula so very special.

The scent of The Blue Cocoon... it is soooo soothing and unique. It's quite different from the rest of the collection, and entirely addicting. We would describe it almost like a blend of soft, buttery cacao touched by the coolness of mint, the sweet roundness of fresh apple, chamomile in springtime, and a touch of grounding and recentering sage. It contains none of these things, and entrances us with its intangible and mysterious nature. A client once described The Blue Cocoon as "spicy snow", which seems ambiguous, but somehow makes complete sense as you inhale and feel both warmed and cooled at once.

Yes! The Blue Cocoon is well-loved by our dermatologic and esthetician community, as well as by so many of you who incorporate acids, retinoids, and other powerful skin treatments into your care. 

Given the powerful impact of these formulas and the deeply individualized nature of each of our complexions, we welcome you to reach out for personalized guidance.
