Keeps lips hydrated. A good every day gloss. Organic product with no nasties.

Some people might be put off by the strong scent. Tube gets gunky.

Summary
I am a lip balm addict, I have so many so just had to try this.
I originally got this in a beauty box, so glad I never paid for it.
Trying to get the product out of the tube was hard and took some work.
Once n my lips, it was hard to spread and my lips were sticky and tacky. My hair got stuck so many times and my hair clumped together.
The scent is very strong and the balm tastes awful. Don't lick lips!
Wouldn't recommend this, shame as I had rather high expectations.

This is a pretty thick salve and has quite a strong scent which you have to accept is a little strange on the lips but once you get over that it does a great job of keeping my lips protected in cold weather and helps repair cracks and sore lips.

Awful scent!!
Summary
I only used this for about 25 seconds. It applied lovely, left a very thick, shiny and slimy coating on my lips which didn't bother me too much as I suspect it would be very moisturising. But the scent is disgusting. Very very strong, floral, reminds me of barley sugar sweets or cough candy type things. It's so strong it actually caught the back of my throat. Wiped it off very shortly after application.
Would you recommend this product?
No
I like that you apply it through the tube, not with fingers. However, the end can get gunky and needs a clean.
The scent of rose is strong, although I like this and people comment on it.
The gloss is a little sticky, hair will catch in it a little.
It's a really good all-rounder and the icing on the cake is that it doesn't have any nasty ingredients.
