Summary
I can not clearly evaluate this product. It has positive and negative sides. I like that the product is natural and it is very pleasant to those people who have dry skin. But this product hard to apply to the skin. I think that I will use it in the winter.

I was excited to receive this as I had heard great testimonies to the Body Shop Hemp range. It is solid when cool but melts in heat. It certainly didn't make my eczema worse, which is a huge bonus but it didn't really hydrate the truly dry areas on my wrists. It was great to absorb on my good parts of my skin and is wonderful to use directly after a shower, on wet skin. Although the fragrance is not the nicest, when you compare it to other Body Shop products, it didn't smell awful after application. I have continued to use this as a top up to body lotions on dryer areas such as elbows and knees, after bathing, especially before I use fake tan! I feel that the packaging and the fragrance of this balm is more geared to male beauty, whether that is intentional or not and would therefore be tempted to gift this to my partner rather than buy it for myself.

Long lasting and non irritating. Natural ingredients. Paraben free.
Weakest points
Strange texture and hard to absorb on very dry areas. Smell isn't appealing.
Summary
I found this balm to be a really odd texture, not unlike pure coconut oil but without the appealing smell. However, it didn't irritate my eczema and was soothing when it was in a flare on my hands and wrists. Great to pop in your handbag/gymbag for instant hydration fix. Wonderful on wet skin.

The balm is very economical consumption, but melts quickly on the skin and turns into oil, absorbs quickly.
Weakest points
The smell on the fan....
Summary
If you don't like experiments and supporter of traditional floral or fruit fragrances, the product you are probably not going to fit. But with their tasks to cope balsam on five points.

Sounds good but does not live up to the hype...needs to be more absorbent whatever the weather.

Liked the packaging...when I finally manage to massage the balm in it was ok...sorry that's it.
Weakest points
Really hard to apply if it's a little cold...pot probably needs heating to melt the balm a little...didn't like the smell.
Summary
The balm is too dry to apply and I ended up with loads of lumps which wouldn't absorb...sorry this is not for me.

The packaging is great and looks good. The cream is thick, has a nice scent and absorbs well
