BIRU will now be house in milk glass jars to provide extra protection from UV lights which cause oxidation & can reduce efficacy over a period of time. While we recommended using your balm within a year of opening before, the milk glass ups the shelf life by 6-12 months (not that you will ever have it that long!).

Though the name milk glass is fairly recent, this white opaque glass was first produced in Venice, Italy in the 1500s. Milk glass earned its name because it has an glossy opacity similar to what you might get if you poured milk into a clear glass. It is very difficult or impossible to see through, making it perfect for housing & protecting our BIRU Balm. We hope you love it as much as we do.

“I was surprised by the tightening effect that the lather had, like the old school mud masks! I'm excited to see the long-term effects! I really kinda like the tightening too. Like it must be pulling out some junk from my pores…It's like washing your face with a melting, sudsy Swedish fish!  And those are one of my all-time favorite candies! It's like no cleanser I've used before!” –April W.

“I knew that Dehiya’s [formerly Chae’s] “Glow” was going to be good as soon as I opened the gorgeous lid, but I had no idea what was in store with “AfterGlow”! You know you’ve got something special on your hands when your aesthetician asks, “What are you using on your face these days?” The AfterGlow just may be the best thing I’ve ever put on my face, and the combo of the two is undeniable. Can’t wait to restock!” — Erika T.
