Bag Balm, 8oz

Fantastic stuff, purchased after it was mentioned on QI.

I heard about this balm recently online.. I am a beauty product addict so it's safe to say I have tried many many balms.. This was one of the cheapest and ultimately the best one. I have normal skin but dry areas like knees,elbows,heals.. This has been amazing for absorbency and quality. I have bought a few tins for family.

I discovered bag balm about 2 years ago and it’s honestly my miracle product!(Current uses I’ve found, lip balm, cut healer, hand cream, night eye cream, strengthens and grows lashes, overnight intensive face mask, barrier cream you’d use vaseline for like dying hair/eyebrows etc)I’m just going to gush about this product as I’m so in love with it!I first bought the 1oz and used it as a lip balm and occasional intensive overnight hand cream and took it everywhere! I used to have cracked lips even if I used a lip balm all day but with this you only need to apply once or twice a day and it lasts! I also used to pick my lips when stressed and this would literally heal them over night!The tiny pot lasted me a year!Bought the 4oz to replace it and filled the smaller 1oz tin to travel with (I would have bought the 8oz but after how long the 1oz lasted thought best to get the 4) and have filled mini travel pots to give to friends to try and they have also agreed how amazing it is.I have been finding more uses for this mad product like using it to heal cuts as it’s antiseptic, I now use it as an eye cream overnight as I saw a farmer mention she used it as an anti-aging moisturiser, rub it into my lashes as it plumps up your skin and is mad hydrating, I have only been doing this 2 weeks and I feel like my lashes are stronger and growing longer! I used it once to heal a piercing overnightHonestly probably used it for way more stuff but I cant think of it rn!It’s been over a year since buying the 4oz and I’m just scraping the sides of the tin (I’ve used it much quicker as I’ve given some to friends and used it for so many more things) and bought an 8oz ready!

bought as a present. well received and used

Finally the package arrived today, I am very pleased because I have been using this ointment for many years and I recommend it to everyone.

It’s everything they said it was on the five star reviews I had read before I bought it. Now I have bought it I can confirm it deserves every one of those five stars. This balm had a long history I was intrigued to find out more about it. I am pleased to discover this is an all rounder. It does for so many things. So I decided to have a go myself! First I used it on my face after cleansing- there was a momentary tingle but that passed. The smell of the balm is slightly medicinal I thought but not overpowering and you will get used to that the more you use it. It did feel quite thick on application and I thought ‘there’s no way I can possibly leave this on all night’ but I left it on for an hour and then got a muslin cloth and gently wiped the excess off- voila! Beautiful soft deeply moisturised skin which felt wonderful to the touch. Next morning I looked st my skin and couldn’t believe how plump and smooth it was. So that was me - I’m now a fan of this balm. Just leave it on long enough to sink in and then remove excess with a flannel or cloth. This was my experience of using this product and I’m glad to share it with others who may be thinking if using it too. There are many other uses apparently for it to but I have only tried it in my face - the rest is yet to be tried! Five stars to this wonderful and well established product!

I love this balm makes my skin soft and delivers heavy moisture it's quite thick but I actually don't mind that

Bought this after reading excellent reviews, but upon researching one of the ingredients, wasn't that impressed with what I found - would certainly NOT recommend using on lips!Used on my feet, it felt soothing & made them nice & soft, but the effect was very short-lived (applied liberally & massaged in late at night - by morning the effect had largely worn off, & wasn't really noticeable that it had been used).I'd imagine that this would be great for temporary soothing, but after looking into the usage permissions granted for one of the ingredients (and why); I personally wouldn't use it on a long-term or regular basis.
