Review (5/5): Amazing product for extremely dry skin
When you scoop the product out of the container, it is a thick paste that tends to be crumbly. You have to carefully massage it onto your skin, making sure little chunks don't fall on the ground. But it definitely works to soften, protect and heal extremely dry, irritated, and even cracked skin. And a little does go a long way. The container is glass and just small enough to fit in my coat pocket, which makes it convenient to carry around.
I have serious eczema, and Gold Clover and Burt's Bees Hand Salve are the only natural products that are thick enough to provide relief. The difference between this and Burt's Bees is that Gold Clover is less greasy and seems to absorb quicker. But Burt's Bees smells better to me. Although this Gold Clover does have a light mint/lavender scent, overall the product smells milky. It doesn't bother me too much and thankfully the smell does go away. However, the smell reminds me baby milk spit up. Also, sometimes the thought of rubbing dead animal fat on my skin gets a little weird. But I use this several times a day, especially after hand washing, and my skin is looking better than ever.
All in all, this is a great product that provides relief for eczema and healing for extremely dry skin. It's a great alternative to chemically-laden but well-publicized products like O'Kieff's for Working Hands. If you order in bulk, it's more economical to do it through their website. But for just one, it's cheaper to order on Amazon. And I will definitely be ordering more!
