Egyptian Magic - The Cult Multi-Purpose Balm | Superskin
Egyptian Magic promises a miraculous balm for the whole family. Created in 1991 in the United States, the brand revives an ancient Egyptian formula that Cleopatra used for radiant skin. Six natural ingredients from the beehive plus olive oil, a texture that melts on contact with the skin, a secret formula, and more than 20 possible uses.
What Makes Egyptian Magic Unique: Absolute Ancestral Minimalism
Egyptian Magic envisions its balm as a return to the essentials. Inspired by an ancient Egyptian formula, the brand creates a unique product using just six natural ingredients sourced from the beehive. No endless list of active ingredients, no complex technology, just the raw power of nature concentrated in an iconic jar. The patented manufacturing process transforms these simple ingredients into a rich balm that remains solid at room temperature but melts instantly with the warmth of the skin.
Extra virgin olive oil provides its richness in fatty acids, omegas, squalene, and antioxidants to deeply nourish the skin. Beeswax protects, repairs, and softens by creating a breathable protective barrier. Honey, with its antibacterial and moisturizing properties, soothes and naturally disinfects. Bee pollen, concentrated in antioxidants and vitamins, delays skin aging. Royal jelly hydrates, protects, and strengthens the skin barrier. Propolis stimulates cell renewal with its powerful antiseptic properties. These six ingredients work in synergy to create a remarkably effective balm.
The texture is what's most surprising. Solid in the jar, the balm resembles a smooth sorbet. Warmed for a few seconds in the palms, it transforms into a silky oil that absorbs without leaving a greasy residue. The scent is subtle and natural, with sweet notes of honey and olive that fade quickly. No artificial fragrance, no synthetic preservatives, no parabens—just the raw purity of the ingredients.
Makeup artists, models, and celebrities have adopted this jar with its kitschy packaging but miraculous contents. Madonna, Kate Hudson, Eva Longoria, and Gisele Bündchen swear by it.
Egyptian Magic is for the whole family. For babies, it can soothe diaper rash; for children, it can treat scratches; and for adults, it can be used on the face and body, including dry and mature skin. Use it as a day or night cream for the face, as an after-sun treatment or massage oil for the body, as a nourishing hair mask, and as a repairing lip balm. The concept? One product to replace a dozen others. Minimalism, effectiveness, and natural ingredients. The results are visible from the very first applications: skin is nourished, smoothed, soothed, and protected. Scars fade, eczema is calmed, burns heal faster, and hair regains shine and suppleness.
The History of Egyptian Magic: The Chicago Revelation
The story begins in 1986 in a Chicago restaurant. Westley Howard, a water filter salesman, is enjoying a quiet dinner when an old man approaches him. "Brother, the Spirit commands me to reveal something to you," says the stranger, who introduces himself as Dr. Imas. A spiritual man, Westley is unperturbed and engages in conversation. For two years, Dr. Imas visits him regularly to impart an ancient formula: a miraculous cream used in ancient Egypt, found in the tombs of the pharaohs.
In 1991, Westley Howard, now known as LordPharaoh ImHotepAmonRa, launched Egyptian Magic. Following Dr. Imas's instructions, there was no advertising, no sponsorship, no paid promotion. The product sold solely through word of mouth. It was an immediate success. Today, more than thirty years after its launch, Egyptian Magic remains unchanged. The same six ingredients, the same artisanal manufacturing process, the same iconic jar.

Frequently Asked Questions about Egyptian Magic
Are Egyptian Magic products suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. The minimalist formula with six natural ingredients is perfectly suited to sensitive and reactive skin. Egyptian Magic is used by people suffering from eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and other skin conditions.
Is Egyptian Magic cruelty-free and vegan? Egyptian Magic is certified cruelty-free by PETA. The brand has never tested on animals and never will. No animal testing is conducted by the brand, its suppliers, or any third parties. However, Egyptian Magic is not vegan because five of its six ingredients come from bees: beeswax, honey, pollen, royal jelly, and propolis. Therefore, the product is suitable for vegetarians but not for strict vegans.
Who are Egyptian Magic products aimed at?
For the whole family, literally. Babies, children, adults, the elderly, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers. All skin types: dry, normal, combination, even oily. The balm is gentle enough for newborns and effective enough for mature skin. Egyptian Magic is for anyone looking for a natural, simple, versatile, and truly effective product.
Can Egyptian Magic replace several products?
That's exactly the idea. One jar of Egyptian Magic easily replaces face cream, body cream, lip balm, eye cream, hair mask, makeup remover, aftershave, hand cream, foot cream, healing balm, baby cream, and much more. It's the perfect product for minimalists, travelers, families, and anyone who wants to simplify their beauty routine.
How to use Egyptian Magic on the face?
Warm a very small amount (about the size of a grain of rice for your entire face) between your palms until the balm becomes oily. Apply to slightly damp skin immediately after cleansing to aid absorption. Use morning and/or evening as a moisturizer. For combination to oily skin, apply a thin layer only at night. A small amount is always sufficient, as the balm is highly concentrated.
Does Egyptian Magic leave a greasy finish?
When applied correctly in very small amounts to slightly damp skin, Egyptian Magic absorbs well and leaves a nourished, but not greasy, finish. Applying too much will leave your skin feeling oily. The key is to start with a tiny amount and add more as needed.
