As a makeup artist and stylist with over 25 years of experience in the international film and commercial industry, Paola LaMorticella knows skin care. When she realized that prescriptions and over-the-counter creams irritated her infant son's skin, she decided to do something about it. Paola created her own balm to soothe her son's skin naturally, using a unique combination of simple, nourishing elements and eliminating all non-essential ingredients. The resulting formula healed her son's skin and with that, Balm No.1 and Olio E Osso were born. Made primarily from olive and shea oils, her balms are made by hand and adorably packaged in her hometown of Portland, Orego
