What you actually get

A 6 oz jar for $25. One fingertip on the neck, chest and wrists is an application, and it lasts 12+ hours on most skin. Two jars are $43.38 with a free travel tin. Three are $58.08 with a free mystery gift.

How you know it is real

Every order ships wrapped in a piece of a real coffee sack, cut by hand and tied with twine, with a card that tells you where in the world the sack came from. Bale is handmade in small batches, sold officially only at balebody.com, and ships from the US in 1 to 2 business days with tracking.

Why it is still there at midnight

Spray cologne is mostly alcohol, and alcohol leaves. Butter stays on the skin. Put Bale on damp skin after the shower, on the neck, chest and wrists, and it lasts 12+ hours on most skin.

The jar

6 oz of whipped shea and cocoa butter. Absorbs in about a minute with no shine. Moisturizes and leaves skin soft. 12+ hours on most skin, longest on damp skin after a shower. Paraben-free and sulfate-free. Handmade in small batches.

The sack

Your order arrives wrapped in a real coffee sack. No two are alike. A card in every package tells you where in the world your sack came from. The sack is the wrap, not the scent; none of the six scents smells of coffee.
