Balmonds Skin Salvation and TeaTree Balm Review

Reviewed by Jo Hardy

This company is completely new to me but they have in fact been around since 2007, skin salvation was the first product the company produced and it was born from a mother’s need to find an all natural product for her daughters eczema-prone skin, it is still made to the original recipe.  With a bees wax base this product is 100% natural there’s no added fragrance or other synthetic nasties , and has been approved by dermatologists for sensitive skin.  Skin Salvation can be used anywhere you need it and as often as you like it is also suitable for anyone over the age of six weeks.

My husband’s feet were the perfect challenge for this product, I’ll spare you the gory details and just say they are very dry with some patches of redness.  He gets a bit of itchiness on some areas and felt relief from this on the the first application.  After four applications the red patch was less red and appeared to be getting smaller and the dry patches were definitely getting softer.  We were both happy to see such results in a short time and will continue to apply regularly.  The product is in a glass jar with a screw top, the wide top makes it very easy to scoop out with your fingers, when you first use it you may need to warm it a little with your fingers to make it easier to get a good amount out. It glides over the skin very easily and feels very soothing to the skin.

Available in sizes 30ml,60ml,120ml and 250ml there’s a size to suit every need, I think the 30ml or 60ml make ideal sizes to take on holiday, especially handy on a holiday where you will be spending a lot of time doing outdoor activities with a higher chance of getting little scratches and scrapes.  This one product can be used on all the family saving you taking lots of different products.

Rating: 5/5

TeaTree balm is made with the same basic ingredients as Skin Salvation but with added essential oils, organic TeaTree oil which has long been know as natures antiseptic and has lots of inflammatory properties and safflower oil which is known for soothing and smoothing the skin and added to many skin care products.

This product comes in a handy little tin in two sizes 15ml and 50ml, these little tins are so handy to keep in your handbag, I bet you’ll be surprised how often you use it, in the first couple of days of owning mine, I was out with a friend who had a fall and I used it as first aid on a scrape she got on her knee, this will also be handy for me when out with my little granddaughter, she can get obsessed with the slightest spot or scratch and not happy until I put some kind of cream on it, as this product is so natural I won’t have any qualms about putting a little bit on for her regardless of how minor the injury is.  This is also an excellent product to take on holiday and hardly takes up any space in your luggage at all.
