Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Here, There and Everywhere Balm Review

Works brilliant on dry skin patches and irritated nappy rash!! Love the smell too. So soothing, thick and a little goes a long way! Highly recommended

I picked this up on one of my out of town adventures because I needed something soothing then and there.

The price point is quite expensive, so I'd definitely weigh up my options before repurchasing.

The balm itself does exactly what it claims. It can soften dry cracked skin, condition lips, soften cuticles, soothe insect bites or sore spots anywhere on the face and body.

I've used it on dry elbows through to insect bites and it does nourish and possibly aid the healing process.

What I really like is that it's one product that can handle lots of complaints (which makes it great for travelling). I also really like that it's 100% natural and made here in NZ.

I was excited to grab this during one of the BR Vaults, after reading great reviews about it. The balm is paraben free, no mineral oil and not tested on animals, even better it’s 100% natural and made in New Zealand. It’s packaged in a yellow cardboard box with 3D art and printed with biodegradable inks. The balm itself is kept in a 50g screw top yellow pot and smells every natural and lovely. The consistency of the balm is hard and remains that way all year round, which is great as it doesn’t ever get messy.

The balm has multiple uses and can be used anywhere externally. I’ve used it on cuts, burns and dry skin. Mostly, I’ve used it on my hands as they can crack and be very dry during winter. I use three fingers to rub into the balm then spread it evenly around my hands as well as the fingernails and cuticles. It’s non-greasy and easily absorbs. I found it’s best used before I head to bed, so it can take affect while I sleep. I also use it on lips during winter, they get disgustingly dry and flaky. I found it best works after exfoliating and applied before using lipsticks. I found the balm smooths the pain when I put it on burns, especially the ones I get while cooking or baking and works great one cuts to help it heal quickly.

The price is reasonable, and it lasts a very long time. I’ve had it for a while now and I still haven’t used much of it, it still looks almost new. I recommend it to those who are wanting a 100% natural product that works wonders to the skin and it’s suitable for ages with all skin types.

I was lucky enough to review this, and was excited to try it as I and my 4 kids suffer from eczema. On first seeing it, the packaging is nice and simple. The Balm itself smells lovely, and feels nice and nourishing without leaving the skin greasy. My one little gripe about it is that to get enough of the Balm to apply I really had to scrape it out with a spatula, rather than just being able to scoop it with my finger. I definitely noticed an improvement in my skin and eczema after using it for a few days, so was pleasantly surprised. I think i would definitely consider purchasing this in future.

An intensive soothing balm with premium manuka honey Delivers antioxidants, proteins, vitamins and minerals that protect and nourish your skin With clove oil, manuka oil, calendula and chamomile which work together to heal Also contains grape seed and rosehip oils Use to soften dry and cracked skin, condition lips, soften cuticles, and calm insect bites. Suitable for all skin types. 100% Natural Ingredients. Not tested on animals. Paraben Free. No Mineral Oil. This weee gem is packed full of goodies for all your skin needs, a balm that melts so easy into the skin without leaving the look or feeling like a oily residue, but softens your skin. I have very dry hands and no matter what i use it never seems to heal them, after trialing this on my hands for 3 weeks ( I use every night ) my skin is so much smoother, softer to the touch and my skin has healed dramatically. I have used this as a lip balm as I get dry lips but not overly dry and the difference it's made even if i apply a lipstick, it glides on smoothly, doesn't settle into any fine lines it doesn't look dry. This balm is a life saver, I use it for everything, from my hands, face, feet, any dry patches on my skin and it's even helped when i got a shaving rash, I applied it straight over my legs and had no stinging or irritation occur. This product is amazing and I will be re purchasing for sure.

Balms are tricky to get right - you want one where the formula maintains its 'solid' state but melts easily when you want to use it. But you really don't want one that melts on a hot day, then re-solidifies with those bitty, erm, bits.

So we've had a run of dismal weather in Christchurch of late, followed by some really hot days. I'm talking chocolate melting in the cupboard hot. The Wild Ferns balm has held up really well - no signs that its completely melted and the formula feels as easy and pleasant to use on hot and cooler days.

This product melts beautifully into the skin and is absorbed really quickly for a balm. You know how Vaseline or pawpaw sit on the skin quite heavily? I felt this sunk in really well, and when trialing it as a barrier ointment on blisters, just applying a thicker layer did the trick.

This smells faintly of honey, but other wise its free from fragrance. The packaging is a sturdy tub and boy do you get a lot of product for your money!

I've used this as a lip balm, massage balm, foot balm (slather and pop on socks...amazing results over night!), elbow moisturiser and nappy balm.

I really enjoyed this product and would buy again.

This product is amazing! I don't feel I have high standards but I do expect a product to do what it says its going to do. More often than not I find I have wasted my money. At first glance this wouldn't be a product I would take a second look at on the shelf. The packaging is quite plain, I feel its going for that natural kind of look, its not bad, just not eye catching. It doesn't have much of a smell and a bit of an odd taste I noticed after initially putting it on my lips. I did not have high expectations for this product. However, after being given this product to trial I can absolutely understand why its called Here, There and Everywhere Balm, as this is exactly how I've come to use it. Firstly, I concentrated this balm on my cracked heels. One of my feet being particularly bad since I was pregnant 6 years ago. I have used many different heel balms and I do find they work, but in no way do they work as fast as this has. Even after the first use I noticed a difference. Slightly smoother and not as deeply cracked looking. I continued to use it everyday and mixed with exfoliating in the shower my deep deep heel cracks have pretty much gone. This was after about 3 weeks using it daily/as often as I could remember, definitely faster than other heel balms. I have also been using it on a stubborn scab I had from a minor surgery that just would not heal properly as well as sandfly bites that I had been riddled with from a local river. My son also gets a sore/rashy bum when he eats some foods so I used it on that also. All of which have really healed up quickly. I'm very pleased with this product and I can honestly say I will continue to purchase this. It is a great useful product to have on hand and has many uses.

Cute packaging looks natural and nearly like a table spread yummy

The plastic pottle is yellow with a screw top lid, the contents inside look like a candle wax off white in colour with a light fragrance of Manuka honey

A nice melting consistency that soaks in nicely it does leave a shine a little residue I used this on all the areas that suggests that you can use a balm for cuticles dry patches etc eyebrows to smooth over a wee bug bite And it did a lovely softening job soothing and healing During this trial I ended up in a dry environment with not many products with me I did have this as I was trialling it

Dry hands and I developed a crack on my heal a cold sore creeped in with dry lips and my face stung from to many tears my hair went frizzy when I washed it and I got a touch of itches in a special area

This little pottle of glory saved me from frizzy hair I run my hands through my hair with a tiny dollop melted into my palms left me non frizzy without looking greasy I loaded my heal up with balm and a sticky it took the sting out and it even improved the crack Helped sooth my cold sore and cracked lips I melted this balm into my palms and pressed my face into my hands covered my eyes as rested I found this was nice and soothing stopped my face from stinging didn’t even make my eyes blurry I even used it as a light moisturiser and yes I put a wee bit there you know where I mean Oh it did the trick just soothed that area whew So when this says here there and everywhere balm it really is

Would I buy this yes a little goes a long way and my gosh it’s a all rounder When your caught short this does it all even removed my makeup

Healing and natural yes puts a nice wee barrier on as well Dollar wise value for money

Love it! Perfect to keep on my desk at work. Wild Ferns Here, There & Everywhere balm works great as a lip balm. I found it to have no taste which is great. It also works great as a hand cream without being greasy, so I can type, write etc without worrying about greasy fingerprints everywhere. It leaves your skin looking and feeling lovely and soft. I also tried it on a dry patch of skin on my arm which wasn't getting any better with ointment from the doctor. The balm seemed to instantly help with healing the dry skin. The light yellow plastic screw lid container is also great. I have no problem opening the container even though I have arthritis. I also liked the pretty box it came in, the light yellow with the flower and gold looks fresh and natural. I would buy it again - although I think it would be a long, long time before it ran out as a little goes a long way.

I received this balm as part of a BR trial to review.

The box is a nice honey-yellow with embossed writing, manuka flowers, and detailed information about the balm. I found this to be especially useful as the jar of balm didn't have any directions on it. Luckily, being a balm you don't need a whole lot of detail before using!

I first tried it on my lips, it left them feeling soft and it didn't have a bad flavour. By sheer coincidence I got sunburnt the next day so was able to test the balm out on my burns. It helped hydrate and heal my skin so much that I only have very minimal peeling in one area that I was neglecting with the balm. I've also used it on my rough, dry feet at nights and they soften up beautifully!

I'd definitely keep using this, especially on rough skins and sunburns.
