We’re totally obsessed with the clean and sustainable cosmetics from MERIT, and are loving the newest addition to their super edited collection. (After all, if a product makes it into MERIT’s minimalist line of makeup, you *know* it’s good.)

Bonze Balm provides a sheer, warm hint of soft-matte color that’s easy to build and blend. Use the cream formula to give yourself natural depth and definition that’s never cakey, streaky, or orange. It goes on super light, which means it’s comfortable to wear from morning to night and is just about impossible to screw up. The bronzer comes in five shades that work with almost any skin tone. You can select the right shade based on what you usually wear in their Minimalist complexion stick.

Bronze Balm, $30

MERIT is all about cutting down on the number of beauty products you need, and Bronze Balm will definitely help you in that process. It’s easy to use in a ton of different ways, like swiping across where the sun hits your face for some extra warmth, or pulling across the low points of your face to give a natural sculpt. Its oval shape makes for an easy yet versatile application. Use the wide side to add warmth and the narrow side to sculpt and contour. Use the MERIT’s versatile Brush No. 1 to blend it in, or make it ultra easy and just go with your fingers. 

Like other MERIT products, Bronze Balm is specially formulated to avoid any acne triggers and contains clean, vegan, and cruelty-free ingredients. It contains vitamin E, an awesome antioxidant that keeps your skin conditioned, as well as fatty acids like octyldodecanol that lock in moisture and help the color go on smooth and even. MERIT also focuses on sustainability in all its products, with signature recyclable, reusable, or compostable packaging. In other words… you’ll look and feel great when you wear Bronze Balm.
