Review (5/5): Unique Shea butter balm
I received this as a gift and gave it to my daughter, thinking that by the ingredients it might help her chronic rash. It is hard to say if it's helped, but it's only been a week. Her prescription cream wasn't healing it completely after a month, so I thought we'd try something else.
***UPDATE: A month later and the combination of this and her prescription cream healed the rash. She also developed very chapped hands over a snowy month and applying this a few times a day herald that as well. Very pleased with this formula!***
Shea butter is the first ingredient and I think accounts for much of the texture. We usually find lavender scents to be too antiseptic, but this is pleasant and honey-like. It is thick and creamy, almost like a dough to get it out of the tin, and it warms beautifully to spread a nice thin layer on the skin. It almost reminds us of a pomade, and my husband has really enjoyed using it in his beard. I usually use straight up coconut and essential oil or coconut/olive/vitamin E with essential oil blends and this is certainly a deeper moisturizer with a lighter feel than what I'm used to.
