Review (5/5): Surprisingly good stuff.
Having long given up finding appropriate product for my beard, I bought a tin of Beard Balm Leave-in Conditioner (BBLIC) by Premium Nature on a lark. (Impulse shopping. Darn you, Amazon lightning deals!) Nonetheless, I've applied BBLIC every two or three days for a couple of weeks -- not long enough to render a final opinion but long enough to assess the primary attributes and contrast this product with others that I've tried.
BBLIC is effectively unscented. The initial light orange-citrus scent quickly dissipates. BBLIC is hydrophobic. Water beads on my fingers after I use them to apply the product. It's easily removed from fingers with a little soap. BBLIC is a conditioner. It softens and helps calm those wild hairs. It supports "natural" styling. However, it won't hold "architectural" styling.
While I'm pleased with what BBLIC does do, I'm also pleased with what it doesn't do. In contrast with some other products that I've tried, these things that have not (yet) happened. BBLIC has not made my face or beard feel greasy. BBLIC has not transferred onto my hands nor smudged onto my glasses. BBLIC has not irritated my skin or pores. BBLIC has not caused a dermatophyte bloom.
I remain undecided if and how BBLIC would fit into my grooming routine long term. So far, it is inoffensive and has some nice effects. That's a great start.
