What does the carnation scent smell like?

It is described as a spicy floral carnation, so expect a warm flower scent with a spice edge rather than a sweet or powdery one.

How do I apply a firm balm?

Warm a small amount between your hands or against your skin; the balm melts with body heat and then spreads over the area you want to moisturize.

It is a firm balm, not a lotion. It is solid in the tub and softens as it warms, so it goes on thicker than a typical moisturizer.

Coconut oil, jojoba oil and beeswax, with carnation scent. The beeswax is what gives it the firm balm texture.

It is a body balm, so it suits hands, elbows, legs and other dry areas. The wax-rich formula is heavier than a face lotion.

Because it is concentrated and you use small amounts, a 16 oz tub lasts well with regular use on hands and body.
