What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage
Massage balm (start with a 1/2 pump) onto clean dry skin, making sure to cover entire face and neck. Wait 15-30 seconds for balm to absorb, then get out there and do what you do best. For best results use daily after you wash, tone or shave.
Pro-tip
Works well alone or as a primer before applying sunscreen or makeup.

Ursa Major
After years of living in NYC and working in the beauty industry, Ursa Major co-founders Emily and Oliver made the move to beautiful Vermont. It wasn’t long before they were inspired to take everything they knew about big beauty (toxic ingredients, fear-mongering, and more), and flip it all on its head. Soon, Ursa Major was born: delightfully effective, forest-infused skincare essentials—made with zero harmful ingredients—so your skin and your spirit can truly thrive!
