I have tried a few 'Balance me ' products lately and been impressed with the company ethics. The packaging is fairly plain and wouldn't attract people just looking at a shop shelf but once you realise they are an ethical company using more natural ingredients you understand the plainer packaging.
I found this smelled really lovely and made my skin feel great with no nasty reaction at all. The nice moisturised feeling lasted all day when I applied after my morning shower. I could just about smell it on my arms hours later too which was nice.

I loved this rich creamy lotion, best way to discribe it, as its more creamy. It feels good on the skin. Best applied after shower for full results, this is when my skin feels at its driest. I found my skin drank up this cream, it felt as if it was getting the best hydration for awhile.. It absorbs a little slower than i would like, but when it did , my skin felt soft and really smooth. Even after a few hours my skin can start to dry out and re-application is needed, but not with this cream/lotion. I must admit the scent is very strong, it starts of smelling citrusy, tangy, but with a hint of spice..then as it warms on your skin, a stronger spice emerges...which in this case for me was Clove! I really like this creamy lotion,but i feel as a hand cream its too potent, so i have taken to using in a great foot & legs cream..and its really does its best on tired feet..

Summary
This is a really rich, yet easily applied cream..they say its a lotion, but it's more cream than lotion. Skin feels totally moisturised.
