Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Here, There and Everywhere Balm Review

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Packaging is great. The lid screws on very well. I feel like it screws on a extra times than normal screw lids. The balm is quite hard so does not spread well. I find that warming up the product does not help. I tried to apply this to my legs especially around my calves but it did not spread well and it took a long time to cover the area. I tried it on a sore which healed really well. I also this on my finger nails as I have a bit of skin peeling and it words great. The skins healed and stops peeling. This is also great on chapped lips which I highly recommend as you are not applying too much to the area. I do highly recommend this product for small areas.
