A little goes a VERY long way!

INGREDIENT PROFILES

Murumuru Butter is pressed from the reddish-orange fruits of the Astrocaryum murumuru palm tree. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and bactericide properties and is rich in oleic and linoleic oils. As an excellent emollient it helps the skin to retain water by creating a protective film, ideal for dry skin. It will provide long-term moisture.
Passion Fruit Oil also known as Maracuja is a soothing and skin softening oil with anti-inflammatory properties, also containing lots of minerals and high levels of linoleic acid, ideal for dry and cracked skin.
Sea Buckthorn has been traditionally used for a wide range of skin ailments and is revered for its nourishing, regenerative, and restorative actions. The pulp of the berries is a powerhouse, containing lots of vitamins (E, C, B1, B2, K), minerals, essential fatty acids and phytosterol. Oil from the Sea Buckthorn berry is a deep red colour due to its high carotene (41 carotenoids found so far in seabuckthorn) content which includes valuable lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene. It as an exceptionally nourishing oil for dry skin and can help to promote the regeneration of skin cells.
Avocado Oil is obtained from the ripe Avocado fruit and is generally expressed from the seed. With a generous amount of Palmitoleic Acid it supports the health of your skin, is highly nutritious, protecting, regenerating with good levels of Vitamin A, D and E and is a superb emollient for dry skin, transporting active substances into the dermis.
Jojoba Oil, traditionally held in high regard by Native Americans in the Sonora Desert, is as a vital ingredient in this formulation. It will sink rapidly into your skin for extra moisture, allowing your skin to breathe, and can significantly soften your skin by reducing transepidermal water loss.
Cocoa Butter is the edible natural fat of the Cocoa Bean (Theobroma Cacao), separated during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder. Cocoa Butter Gives softness, nourishment, protects the skin with a barrier against water loss.
Camellia Seed Oil has been recognised for centuries in Japan for its highly restorative effect on the skin. It is said to be responsible for the peachy skin and long nails of Japanese women. It is also known for being one of the most rapidly absorbed oils yet has an outstanding moisture retaining ability without clogging pores. Camellia Seed is high in Vitamin A, B, C and E and Oleic Acid, giving it excellent skin conditioning properties, protecting your skin from drying out while replenishing with vital nutrients and calms easily irritated skin.
Herbalists value Calendula as a healer and it has been widely used as a remedy since ancient times. It is an infusion of Marigold flowers and has been applied topically in popular medicine for slow healing wounds, bed sores, bruises, cuts, scratches, inflammations, eczema, ulcers and burns. Calendula is also recognised as an effective astringent and therefore has a tightening effect on the skin.

Highly recommended!

This face balm is lovely. I put it on my skin before I go to bed.
My skin is dry but this face balm keeps it hydrated, and when I wake up in the morning, my skin looks hydrated.
You only need a little bit (less than a 5p coin), it is easily absorbed. It gives the skin a warm glow.
I'd definitely recommend it for people with dry skin, it's suitable for mature skin as well, due to some of the ingredients in it.
Highly recommended!

Wonderful

When using my retin A the balm is wonderful to put on top. I think when the weather gets warmer I will enjoy the day moisturizer. You gave me a sample of the Shea butter moisturizer and it is fantastic. The Cacay oil (Revive Elixir) is my favorite!

Though this face balm is smaller than I expected, it is worth it! A little bit goes a long way; super moisturizing, it is my last step in my night time routine. Love it!

Addition from 9 February 2018
I wanted to submit a second review, since the first review was after using the sample product received, which must have contained essential oils. The fragrance probably contributed to my facial irritation during use of the sample. When I began using the product that I purchased, without fragrance, I did not get the irritation. Just wanted you to know that the skin nourishing balm is fine with use on my face, and I am pleased with the product. Just a note that sometimes more time is needed before reviewing a product. Overall, I am very pleased with all of my purchases from your site, and appreciate your attention to the packaging as well as the opinion of your customers.

I am in love

Thursday, 7 December 2017 | Paula

I’m a very lucky girl to have found Gerlinde and her wonderful products. I consider her a friend and I’ve returned many times for skincare that Gerlinde has recommended I use for my super dry, sensitive skin which of late has been made worse after going through chemo.
I’m in love with all the fabulous lotions and potions that my skin needs right now. I purchase for my daughter in law too and she is also a big fan of the items she has received especially as she is vegetarian. I say thank you Gerlinde and the items I’ve received today might actually get to be one of my daughter in laws Christmas presents unlike the last order I placed, which I admit I desperately wanted to use on my own face🤫. Happy Christmas 🎄

I just wished I got the bigger pot ...

Autumn/Winter and you have to change up your skincare routine to cope with the drying effects of central heating and the cold. I try to keep everything I use on my body as toxic free as possible and I love @gerlindenaturals as a result. This super nourishing balm does exactly what it says on the tin. My skin is so dewy and soft without any dryness or tightness. I just wished I got the bigger pot as I’m almost out!

Relief for very dry/sensitive skin

Tuesday, 19 September 2017 | Loraine

I really love this. I have dry/sensitive/ menopausal/eczema prone skin and this is ideal for the colder months either alone or even better layered. I used an aroma balm from a very expensive aromatherapy brand for many years, so I'm thankful to find something similar at a more affordable price. Thank you Gerlinde and I appreciate being able to try the small size. As an aside I am very impressed with the components used to house the products. I've never had anything that didn't work and the pumps really do get most of the product out. I always take containers apart to make sure I get all the product, but there really is little wasted. Also the trial sizes are refillable for travel.
