Ultrabalm is a body balm that is intended as an all purpose moisturizer to protect, heal and relieve problems in your skin. It's suitable for dehydrated skin (elbows, anyone?) dry lips, cuticles,anything. I even use it to tame those pesky flyaways in my hair and to seal in my eye cream at night. Since it's made without petroleum or mineral oil, there is no greasy residue left behind. The balm completely absorbs and the only feeling you get is the softness on your skin :) Yay for that!
It looks like a pot of lard huh? It's actually a solid texture but it just melts at the touch of your fingers. This is probably because the first ingredient is jojoba oil (organic). The scent is a little strange... I get the hint of birthday cake vanilla with an herbal bouquet. Not the most pleasant but doesn't linger at all.
It costs $12.95/1.5oz (45g) at their official website. Not a bad value for the amount of balm you get because a little goes a long way, but you have around 14 months to use it before it expires. A good idea would be to separate them into smaller pots to have it be more travel friendly so you can really stretch it out but still have it with you everywhere.
My overall thoughts is that this is a good quality balm to have around. You have to be vigilant to use it in a short amount of time, but since it's very multipurpose, it's something to have in case you do need it. Better for me to have it than without i guess ;) I alternate this between my beewax salve one from Burt's Bees. It's probably not suited for people who are afraid of germ harboring tin containers =p
Enjoy your weekend everyone!! :) Talk to you all soon.
What are your thoughts this balm or Lush in general? What is the next thing from Lush I should try? :)
