Herbfarmacy Organic Mallow Beauty Balm

This is the best balm out there. The mallow makes the product less greasy in feel than other balms, very soothing. I use it every night as a lip balm. Lasts forever.

amazing stuff love it quick delivery thank you **********

There’s so much to like about this beauty balm and the fact that it is made from 100% organic ingredients is top of the list. It is lovely to read through the ingredients and find only natural oils and butters, organically grown, and essential oils. It is also good to know that these products are tested purely on ‘friends’. If you are going to smother your pore-filled skin in stuff that is going to be absorbed into your body, then it makes sense to try and go for as natural a product as possible.The balm comes in a wide green-glass pot and is a yellow/dark-honey colour with a rich smooth slightly greasy consistency. It is strongly scented and I can often catch smells of it for some time after I have applied it. I am not at all sure that I like the scent! Ylang ylang, grapefruit peel and rose geranium are the 3 essential oils listed in the ingredients and I find, probably because I don’t like it, that it is the ylang ylang that lingers especially.My skin, which has a tendency towards being oily, doesn’t really respond that well to oils (organic or otherwise) and I find that if I use this balm all over my face it does tend to ‘feed’ the oily areas and makes my skin feel greasy. It seems my skin doesn’t really want to absorb it and I can sometimes see a shine where I have applied it. I have therefore stuck to using it very lightly, and on the areas that are generally drier (under my eyes, on my neck and cheeks) and it does make my skin feel lovely and soft.I suppose, as with most products, it really depends upon your individual skin type as to how you will get on with this balm. As I don’t like the scent, and because I can use this only selectively on my skin, I would not buy it for myself; however, the ethos of the company and the obvious quality of the product (hence the 4 stars) mean that I would definitely look at using other products in their range.

This beauty balm is packed full of natural and organic ingredients, and I love that it says it’s only tested on friends! It smells quite strong but very nice, and the smell isn’t that strong once you’ve applied it. It’s not something you can put on in a rush, as you don’t get much on your fingers with it being a balm - however, it’s quite nice to apply it in a nice relaxed way as part of your morning/nighttime routine. I’ve found that it soaks in easily enough, and I certainly had no problem using it, letting it dry for 20 mins, then applying make up. It definitely makes a difference to the softness of your skin, and left my skin feeling fresher too - I have very dry skin on my forehead, but this has made a noticeable difference in less than a week. It’s a tiny pot, but you don’t need much to cover your face, so I can see it lasting a good long while. I don’t often stick to one brand, and tend to just buy whatever is cheapest (as long as it’s cruelty free), but I can see myself being a long time customer of this brand.

This beauty balm comes in a small round pot with a screw top lid. The balm is pale yellow and feels very 'melty' when it touches warm skin. The ingredients are organic and there is no false chemical perfume, but it does have a spicy herbal fragrance.As a few other reviewers have already commented; it is rather oily and leaves a shine on the skin. Because of this, I won't use it in the daytime and I also like/need a cream with the added chemicals for anti-wrinkle. What I have used this balm for is as an overnight hydrating beauty mask and it's lovely. It's better than a night cream which tends to sit on the skin, and by morning it has soaked into the face and leaves skin soft and clear looking.I would say that this is mainly suitable for dry and very dry skin for daytime use and also as a night mask, and as a night mask for normal, sensitive and dry skin.

Noting in this but lovely ingredients - Sunflower Oil Jojoba seed oil, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Marshmallow, Calendula, Mullein, Rosemary, Rose Geranium, Grapefruit, Ylang Ylang, essential oils. You could probably lick this.Made in the UK, hurray. Not tested on animals, only mates, in Herefordshire. It feels just fab to smooth on and smells delightful. The little green glass pot and decorative logos well suit the ethos of the 'herbfarmacy' skincare company. The delightful overall design increases the pleasure gained while using the balm.30mls, with a use by date of over a year, this is to become an everyday beauty companion. Useful in many ways for nourishing the facial skin, lip slave, cleansing, or as a nighttime mask. I just love it.

This solid balm smells divine - really herbal and invigorating.I massaged it all over my face after a steamy shower and placed a hot flannel on my face to help it soak in and it felt like a real treat for my skin which was definitely softer and I felt more dewy. I think it might be harder to use if you were in a rush as it is quite hard and needs the heat of your fingertips to soften before melting in, but it was perfect as I used it and felt like an indulgence.Packaging was cardboard box and a green glass jar with a black plastic lid - (this was the only negative I could find)

This balm is a beautiful golden colour and has a herby/spicy scent, in contrast to the sweet fragrances usually found in women's cosmetics. It is a fairly solid balm, and on a cool day you do need to be prepared to wait a few moments to allow it to melt in your palms before using it, or you will drag your skin. I like it best as a cleanser, because it feels nice to really massage it in, before removing with a moist cloth. I might use it as a night cream, lightly applied, but not as a mask as I don't like the high-shine look. It's quite a small pot, so would make a good dual-use space-saver for travelling.
