**Absolutely zero retouching, airbrushing, or editing has been done to the models' skin in these photos. They are wearing Sneaky Balm only with NO concealer, bronzer, or blush, etc. to show exactly how the product looks on its own.**
Best Practices for using Sneaky Balm
- Remember that it is made to be worn as a tint and apply light layers.
- Lock down your skin care routine, and be sure to exfoliate regularly with a chemical exfoliant.
- Apply moisturizer beforehand to prime the skin and even out your skin's natural oils.
- Set lightly with a translucent powder if you have oily skin and you prefer to keep the shine down throughout the day (if you like a dewy look then feel free to skip!)

Sneaky Balm Hydrating Skin Tint
The sneakiest skin tint. A soft, dewy finish. Long lasting for a hydrating skin tint type of formula, not long lasting compared to a matte finish liquid foundation, so let's say medium lasting? Medium lasting! They're chock full of nourishing ingredients like pomegranate, jojoba, & grape seed oils, and contain absolutely zero nonsense ingredients like talc, fragrance, or mineral oil.
- Vegan + cruelty free
- Non-comedogenic
- Hand poured in New York City

Packaging
Zero waste. We designed this system to be as good for the planet as it is for your face. We spent months talking to recycling experts, and researching all the ways we could deliver these precious square babies to y'all without compromising our standards. We landed on simple envelopes that are both recyclable and made from post consumer recycled paper. They have a small insert in the front to protect the tints, but don't worry if your pan becomes intimate with the insert and things...get a little messy. It's perfectly normal for the tint to get on the back of the insert and won't affect the quality of your product at all.

Did not expect the sneaky balm to be THIS good. Perfect color match and formula. Does not sink into pores like most foundations. Will not emphasize texture. This should be way more popular than it is. So happy I bit the bullet and made the purchase. I've never been able to wear foundation to even out the bit of redness I have and cover my under eye circles, until now. Works great on mature skin. Thank you!
I’ve been buying and re buying for years now. These are wonderful formulations
I'm a true neutral with sensitive skin and I will literally never buy another foundation. I've compared it to all the competitors -- including every tint on the market rn -- and this product is unbeatable. If SNY discontinues it, I will just die. This stuff is INVISIBLE, non-irritating, eco-conscious, extremely reasonably priced, and made by a 10/10 human being. Just get it.
We’re honored to hear our formulas are working well for your skin — especially when it’s sensitive or dry. We really try to create products that are gentle, effective, and elegant in finish. Thank you so much for your trust!

All the colors I ordered from salt New York were disappointing. They were dry and I thought this was a balm. I did not even get the covers that have the lion on them!! Another disappointment and it was my first order. Probably the last also
Hi Jan,
Thanks so much for your feedback—we’re really sorry to hear you were disappointed with your first order.
We recently updated our packaging, so the lion artwork isn’t included on our refills anymore. We love that design too and totally understand missing it! The new packaging is sturdier and still alligns with our eco-conscious goals, but we know changes like that can be a letdown if you were expecting something else.
As for the texture, the product definitely shouldn’t feel dry—our formulas are meant to be creamy and balm-like. We’d love to help figure out what might be going on. Feel free to reach out to our team at hello@saltnewyork.com—we’re happy to troubleshoot, or help with a return or exchange if that’s the best path for you.
We really want every customer to love their Salt experience, and we’d appreciate the chance to make this right.
Warmly,
The Salt New York Team
I really like the sneaky balm. It's subtle and easy to wear. I did the shade matching with Salt. They recommended N12 for a shade match, but N11 for a tanning effect. I went with N11 and it's perfect.
Hi Tommi! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience and support our small business. We're so glad to hear that N11 was the perfect match! ~ Serena, Salt New York Makeup Tech
