Every so often (ok, more often than not), when trial products land at BRHQ we can't help but get a little excited.  But I must confess, today's trial product has us a little more excited than usual.  Why?  Because not only does it boast a list of uses longer than our wishlist; it's 100% natural, with just a high quality natural Vitamin E used as it’s only preservative.   This is a product to get excited about!

You might remember us blogging about petrochemicals - and while petroleum jelly is safe for use on your skin, here's the truth.  It's not all that good for it.  Now before you started protesting, telling me 'my skin feels instantly soft when I use it' let me explain.

Yes, your skin instantly feels smooth after you apply PJ - it's a slick product that makes an excellent barrier cream. It keeps moisture in and air out.  But it doesn't add moisture.  So when you apply it, your dry, hard skin, feels instantly smooth, but that's where the benefit stops.  By keeping air and moisture out, you're actually drying out your skin and blocking your pores with a water resistant plug.  

'But I can use PJ for so many things' I hear you cry.  Yeap, it's the orginal multi-purpose balm.  But there are more natural alternatives, that provide solve your skin problems but provide oodles of benefits too.

We're putting Lakoko Balm to the test.  This luxurious multi purpose product  is suitable for every skin type and contains just 8 ingredients.   Kukui Nut oil, Coconut oil, a fusion of lavender, lime and mandarin, cedarwood, beeswax and Vitamin E.

This unassuming concoction packs quite the punch.  Nature's potent anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals hel fight free radical damage and the effects of ageing.   Lakoko offers soothing, healing and protection to the areas of your body that need it.

If you're a minimal gal like me, you'll love a product that can do it all - and boy oh boy, can this product do it all.  It's suitable for all of the family, including your fur babies.  Here's some of the things you can use Lakoko for:

  • Replenishing sun-damaged skin
  • Locking in moisture after a shower
  • Soothing rashes 
  • Post-shave soothing balm
  • A night time facial treatment.
  • Chapped lips
  • Treating eczema and psoriasis
  • Soothing and healing insect bites
  • Rejuvenating older or dry skin
  • Great for joint pain and muscle pain relief
  • Preventing stretch marks during pregnancy
  • Hair masque for treating dry ends
  • A balm for taming frizz
  • A gentle balm for babies
Pretty cool hey?!
We need twenty members to take Lakoko out for a spin and report back - sound like something you'd like to do?  Tell us why below!

Sounds great!

I would love to try this! It's really hard to find something that works as I have eczema and super sensitive skin, so finding something natural is really important to me! I don't like the creams are prescribed by doctors at all, especially steroid creams!! So I would love to try this and I love how versatile it is. =)

8th August, 2016

Yes please sounds amazing !

4th August, 2016

Sounds good especially if it's all natural. Something that I can use without having a flare up

4th August, 2016

OMG this looks amazing!!! love how it can be used all over. I want

2nd August, 2016

I would love to try this! Trying to cut the nasties from my routine and consolidate the ridiculous amount of products I use

2nd August, 2016

I'd love to trial this product! I get such dry skin, and get bad eczema on my hands and feet which worsens with the cold weather, ordinary moisturisers just don't cut the mustard for me unfortunately! I love the idea of all natural ingredients, I know coconut oil is an excellent moisturiser for both skin and hair!

2nd August, 2016

This sounds really cool so many uses and nice an natural just the way I like it. I would love to try this out it does sound like the one stop shop for skin and hair even great for joint pain and mussle pain which I have. I would really love to try this product it ticks lots of boxes for me :)

I am a victim of dermatitis, eczema and windburn & chapped lips. I am constantly moisturising, as if I don't my skin cracks and bleeds. This is hard for a full-time mum and makes house cleaning and also driving a bother as I can't grip the steering wheel properly due to being scared of the skin cracking on my knuckles. I am also totally sick of wearing gloves everytime I need to clean. I am also allergic to dust and animal fur and occasionally break out in itchy hives. I also suffer from scoliosis and can't stand the smell of heat rub. I am 41 and aging spots are starting to appear, would this also help? My 16 year old daughter and I both have the tiny red bumps on our upper arms and cheeks which is annoying. And I would totally love to try this on my grand daughters rashes. So yes, I will be more than honoured to try this product and if it works, I will be overjoyed!! xx

I would love to try this for myself and my daughter. During winter my skin can get a bit dry, so I like something thick and moisturizing to sleep with. And I would use something like for my daughter's eczema. Her eczema is quite bad right now and nothing natural is working on her atm. I have resorted to going back to the steroid creams (which I absolutely hate!) but its the only thing that is keeping the itching at bay and stopping the pain. Definitely keen to try this. I've tried basically every kind of balm out there for her and still looking for that magically one :)

I've never seen anything so multipurpose before, and it looks amazing! Especially during these winter months where everything just feels so much drier. The standards that this company has and the things they stand up for are admirable! I'd love to support them and try this incredible looking product.

1st August, 2016

I'd love to find an alternative to Pawpaw as my lips have become immune! I have a split in my lip that keeps re-opening and nothing is working on it!

1st August, 2016

Yes pls I'd love to try this I have such dry skin!

31st July, 2016

Omg...... this product sounds so exciting. So many uses. Best thing about this is its natural. My frizzy hair needs this and my dry skin. Would absolutely love to trial this.
