Lakoko Review

I was excited to receive this for trial, even though I wasn't 100% sure what it DID. The short answer appears to be 'everything, Trudi. It does EVERYTHING... and then some'. I'm a fan of Trilogy Everything Balm, and this is very much the same kind of thing.

Lakoko Coconut and Kukui Nut Balm comes in a gorgeous little jar - brown glass, with a black plastic screw top lid, and pale blue and cream labelling - it kinda just screams 'recycle me!' and I plan to!

The balm itself is a solid type, that softens when warm and is easily scooped out with a fingernail - I'm anticipating perhaps needing to use a makeup-cotton bud as the level gets down though, due to having long nails and not wanting the oil to get stuck under my nails....not that it would hurt!

I have used this so far on....

- my hands - bumps and scrapes - my hair - my nails - the soles of my feet - my lips - on temples and wrists to aid sleep

On all counts, it's lovely. It's perfumed - I smell the nut and coconut, but also lavender and can pick out the hint of citrus. It's not a super oily oil - absorbs nicely and is soothing rather than greasy. It's also healing, having had a great effect on minor bumps and grazes. It's nice in my hair, to pull out and gloss up my curls without being hugely greasy. On my lips its a good emergency lipbalm, but I'd rather use my Blistex. It's softened my hands and feet nicely!

All in all, I'd buy this again. $25 seems a lot for the teeny pottle, but the smallest bit goes a really long way.

Fave use so far - on my nails!

Winter is the time for dry and itchy skin in my house. So this product arriving was a blessing.

The packaging is gorgeous - simply, classy, non-fuss. It looks lovely, it feels like quality and the best thing is when it's empty the little pot can be reused to store lil bits and bobs. Win for upcycling.

The balm is pretty solid, I was initially concerned it had frozen in the cold, but it melts so beautifully and easily upon contact with the skin.

It smells like lavender, but it's not too nanna-ry and it also doesn't have the citronella smell of Trilogy Everything Balm. It's a wonderfully calming scent, I really enjoy it. Could this work as a sleep balm? Maybe, I'll try it!

I've used this on: my persistent greyscale patch, my cuticles, my dry lips, my flakey hands, my rough feet, my dry knees, my sore nose, my burn and my toddler's boo-boos. (Yes I am a sexy flakey beast). All to great success. As other reviewers have said, it's not the best lip balm, but in a pinch it does the job.

My husband really liked the balm on his calluses, but couldn't get passed the lavender smell - he said if it smelt more manly, he'd stop using Vaseline. (So this is a stingy man giving up his $5 product for a $25 product...it must be good!)

Speaking of price, yes, it's pricey, it's on the same price level as Trilogy Everything Balm, but in my opinion it's far superior.

So all up. I love this balm. It's brilliant. I shall be repurchasing in the biggest tub I can find.

Cheers BR!

Lakoko balm is totally an amazing product. With all its natural ingredients makes me feel good about using it especially when it comes to my children. My husband sufferes from flaky dry skin and he used Lakoko balm twice and his flaky dry skin was gone within two days of applying twice a day and also in four days of using it on my daughters lips which were so cracked and dry they are now healing so well and she loves using it on her lips to. The aroma that Lakoko Balm presents is smoothing and relaxing all at once which adds to the upmost pleasure in using it. Have already recommended this to all my friends and family i believe in this product. Lakoko Balm is definitely worth the money in trying for any skin, hair or anything in between complications.

As a mum of 2 toddlers, I quite often use 'balms' and use them for many different things. I dont have much room in my handbag (nappies, wipes etc argh!) so to be able to have one product that has multiple uses is perfect. This balm was used on chapped lips, dry hands, dry elbows and feet. It was super moisturising, non greasy and the scent for me was heaven!! I will definately be keeping it in my bag, I love it.

The Moment i read about this product i wanted to try it. The first thing i liked about the balm is its 100% natural. And can be used by the whole family. So when i received it, i thought the packaging was great ,cute little bottle, and easy to read and packed to the top with balm, and smelt divine, couldn't wait to try it. With a fusion of exotic oils and packed with nature’s potent anti-oxidants ACE , vitamins and minerals, i used this as a night cream, it made my skin feel so nice and soft, with a nice smell and easy to apply. Also great for dry and cracked lips. For my daughter i used it on her dry skin after having it in a cast for 6 weeks, and in 2 days it was almost gone. I am very happy with this product and recommend you try it as it can be used for a lot of things , this will be a new product that will always be in our house.

This has to be one of the BEST multipurpose balms I have ever used. It has a beautiful, natural and subtle scent which doesn't linger or clash with any of your usual beauty products or perfumes. I was sceptical given it was recommended for your face and body and hair and lips but I tell you what - it works brilliantly across all! It is perfect under makeup as it isn't oily. Its best used after a shower for your body as it absorbs and feels amazing. When it comes to your hair put it in the night before your next morning wash.

A little goes a long way, it does what it says and more. I don't think my beauty bag will be without this little treasure!

I love this product. First day of trialling it and my skin felt amazing. All winter I've had really bad itchy dry skin around my nose and nothing has helped...until I tried Lakoko. Soft smooth skin and it smells so good. Would definitely recommend this for all those who need a pick me up for their skin this winter.

Awesome product! Loved the consistency and the scent is amazing. It smells and feels natural. Easy to apply and rubs in nicely. You only need to use a tiny amount and feels super moisturizing on my skin without an oily feeling. Loved to use it on the back of hands the most as it keeps them feeling smooth and hydrated throughout the day.

First impressions, simple sophisticated packing and cute little pottle. A little goes a long way. I first decided to try this after having a hot shower, it made my skin smell amazing. Slightly greasy at first but absorbed into my skin easily after I massaged it in. I suffer from quite dry skin in winter and this was the best moisturiser/balm that has worked! Only downside I found was it was too oily for my face but that's probably due to my combination skin. Also I've found it helps with the healing process with scars and scrapes.

When I received this in the best of summer BBBE I put it on my shelf thinking it would be great for my feet and hands before bed but then I found a much more magical use for it and I am so grateful for this balm!

The small 30ml glass jar is cute and sturdy with a screw top lid. It's not over the top fancy but it's practical.

The balm itself is not overly thick or hard so it's easy to scoop a piece out and it melts so quickly on your skin, the best consistency I have found in a balm so far. It has a gorgeous slight lavender scent with just a hint of coconut.

Now this is where I found it a miracle- about a year ago I got an under boob tattoo that goes across both ribs right down to my belly button (hey it seemed like a good idea at the time) anyway recently it has become raised and super itchy and nothing would soothe it no moisturiser, cream or oil then I looked at this balm and thought it wouldn't hurt to try and instantly the itching stopped once a massaged a small amount in. It felt bliss. It doesn't leave your skin feeling really greasy either and leaves it just delicately scented. After using it for a week the tattoo is nowhere near as raised or itchy. I've been using it morning and night and will continue until it's back to normal. I will have to purchase another jar before I run out as I don't think I could be without it. I have also used it on my hands and they are left feeling super soft. I only use it at night on my hands as I don't like any residues on my hands during the day.

Highly recommend this balm if you have really itchy and dry skin it's so nourishing and soothing.
