Ursa Major Fortifying Gel Moisturizer is a fast-absorbing, plant-powered daily gel that hydrates, soothes, and repairs skin without leaving an oily finish.

This lightweight gel, formerly sold as Fortifying Face Balm, has the same core formulation now housed in a recyclable glass jar. It blends aloe, birch sap, kendi oil, and carrot-derived nutrients to replenish moisture, calm redness, and help skin feel smoother. Fragrance-free and vegan, the formula is designed to work as a base under sunscreen or makeup and to support skin recovery after environmental stressors like sun or cold.

How does this gel hydrate without clogging pores?

The Fortifying Gel uses plant-derived humectants and a light, serum-like texture to deliver moisture while avoiding heavy oils that can block pores. Fast absorption leaves skin matte and comfortable, making it suitable for oily and acne-prone types. Ingredients are selected to support barrier repair rather than sit on the surface.

  • Light gel consistency absorbs quickly
  • Non-comedogenic plant oils like kendi oil
  • Hydrating birch sap and aloe to retain moisture
  • Leaves minimal residue—good under sunscreen or makeup

What soothing or repairing benefits does it offer after sun or cold exposure?

Rather than making promises about medical outcomes, this moisturizer focuses on calming and rehydrating stressed skin. Aloe soothes irritation, while carrot-derived beta-carotene and nutrient-rich plant extracts support skin’s natural appearance. The texture feels restorative without heaviness, helping skin look smoother and more balanced after environmental exposure.

  • Aloe for immediate calming sensation
  • Carrot extract supplies beta-carotene and antioxidants
  • Birch sap tones and helps reduce visible redness
  • Light film supports skin comfort during recovery

Is this product suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes—Ursa Major formulated this gel to be gentle and free from common irritants: no synthetic fragrance, parabens, sulfates, silicones, or gluten. Its non-greasy, quick-dry profile makes it a practical daily choice for normal, oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. Patch testing is recommended if you have a history of reactions to botanical extracts.

  • Fragrance-free, paraben-free, silicone-free
  • Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
  • Light texture works well with blemish-prone routines
  • Suitable as a morning or evening moisturizer

How should I use the gel within my daily routine?

Apply a pea-sized amount to cleansed skin, spreading evenly over face and neck. It layers smoothly under mineral or chemical sunscreen and concealer, or can be used alone for a minimalist routine. Use twice daily for consistent hydration and to help maintain a balanced complexion.

  • Use after cleansing and any water-based serums
  • Apply sparingly—build if extra hydration is needed
  • Follow with sunscreen in the morning
  • Store jar upright and keep lid closed to preserve freshness

Who is this for: This gel moisturizer is for anyone seeking a lightweight, plant-based hydrator that calms and supports skin appearance without heavy oils or fragrances. Ideal for people with sensitive, oily, combination, or normal skin who want a clean, vegan formula that functions well under sunscreen and makeup. It’s also a good choice for travelers and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a compact, durable glass-packaged moisturizer suitable for daily use.
