I love a Balm, something for everything, so handy. This one from Wild Ferns really is a step up, packaging is pleasant, nothing remarkable about the product. Its quite a thick product and I use a spatula to get product out (bit of a thing for me is dipping into pots, so have plastic spatulas always handy).
No noticeable fragrance and the packaging is a bit boring, has a screw cap in a plastic pottle, nice but just boring.
I've been using on lumps, scratches, bites & blemishes for the past 4 weeks.......AMAZING! Don't expect magic straightaway, the first application saw slight improvement, reducing anything angry but after second application the next day...sorted! What I'm saying is you need to give it at least 2 applications and 24 hrs for the real magic to work. Really remarkable.
I spotted a few blemishes starting and balm stopped them right in their tracks.
Used on chapped lips and a dream, I also have been applying to my lips every morning to keep hydrated. Especially like to use on lips as I had no drying or got that "shrinking" feeling. Used on nail and cuticle that got injured too, no sting & ideal for any bits and bobs that needs a helping hand in repairing &/or relief.
It must be the 80+ Manuka Pollen. I would happily recommend using all over for any age....ingredients along with the pollen are Clove oil, Calendula, Chamomile, Papaya, Mango and Shea Butters with Grape Seed and Rose-hip...wow, what a impressive ingredient list. The product does not seem overdone, I would kinda think that it would be busy and full on with all those ingredients but its very unoffensive.
For $26 a pretty good buy (also available direct on Wild Ferns website, check out the price there too), the product goes a long way and absorbs really nicely. When warmed up with fingertips dissolves into a soothing oil like cream.
My pottle is stored in a cool dark cupboard and during the super hot and humid summer in Auckland has not melted. Only a very little amount is needed, quite thick but dissolves and absorbs in easy.
Part of me feels that a lush fragrance would be nice but then thats not what this product is designed for, it does its job perfect....I just really like lush smelling products.
I would recommend as a gift, especially for sending overseas....Wild Ferns have a amazing array of products that showcase our natural country. For sure will send a balm to my family in Holland this year and of course for any household.
Recommended to friends and family without a doubt.
So i tryed this and this is a game changer i am quite impressed at how multi purpose this balm is.The balm is quite hard but i warmed it up with my fingertips by rubbing in circle motions youll get what mean once you try. But once its soften it feels like a thin vasline oil and it is super easy to apply. I used it as a lip balm, moistuiriser on my hands, arms, feet and face, and also the best bites im always getting bitten so any itchy i had i rubbed a little on and straight away it relieved and soothed the bite this made me super happy and suprised too. I was always looking for something that helps relieve itchy bites and this definitely does that, this is probly why i love it lol. But i super recommend this as it is very versatile and very beneficial for the skin. I am defs going to keep getting this.
Tips: Rub your finger in circular motions to soften the balm.
