How is a body balm different from a lotion?

It is a solid, wax-based formula with little or no water, so it is thicker and stays on the skin longer. Lotions spread faster and absorb quickly; this balm needs more rubbing in.

Warm a small amount between your hands or press it onto the skin, and body heat melts the beeswax so it spreads. Apply after a shower while skin is still slightly damp for easier coverage.

What does it smell like?

Lavender and sandalwood lead, with lemon leaf, apple and amber around them. It reads as a soft, warm herbal scent rather than a sharp floral.

Is it suitable for very dry skin?

Yes, the coconut oil, jojoba oil and beeswax base is aimed at dry, rough areas like elbows, knees and legs. Anyone prone to clogged pores on the body may want to test a small area first.

Does it contain water or alcohol?

The listed ingredients are coconut oil, jojoba oil and beeswax, with no water or alcohol named. Check the full ingredient list on the tub if you have sensitivities.
