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.

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.

Which one is you

Fresh: Bleu Hour or Savanna. Warm and louder: Rogue 540 or Oud Timber. In between: Reverie or Avant. Not sure? The Discovery Set is six 1 oz minis, one of each scent, for $19, and the box includes a $15 credit code toward a full jar. Picked the wrong full jar? Swap it free within 14 days.

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. It is upcycled, not new: the sack already carried coffee across an ocean, and instead of being thrown out it gets a second trip around your order, then it is yours to keep. The sack is the wrap, not the scent; none of the six scents smells of coffee.
