Cute tin huh? As you can see on the front of the tin, this product is organic and made of natural ingredients. I'm one of those people who generally think products like this need some of the little nasties in them to have some kind of effect. Boy was I wrong. This balm is great, it's rather solid but as soon as your finger touches the surface it warms up and begins to melt - but it's not greasy or messy at all. When I use this, I rub the balm around my finger nail and around the cuticle and either let it soak in (usually at bed time I do this) or if I'm at my desk I find myself putting the balm on and rubbing it around the nail to get the blood flow going. I find this actually quite relaxing and I find myself doing this if I'm feeling nervous quite a lot. I've really had no problems with my cuticles since using this, I only need to push them back or use cuticle remover around once every 6 weeks.
The product contains a 21g of the balm. This balm smells like gingerbread men to me personally with a hint of lemon, I wouldn't call this scent offensive at all, it's almost mouthwatering to me but that's personal preference since I adore gingerbread men ^_^ If you find lemon or ginger offensive I wouldn't recommend this. I do think the ginger scent does calm down my stomach but I could understand why it could make some people feel queasy. This balm doesn't take much time at all to sink in and is not uncomfortable at all. For instance, I can apply this and type on my computer without even rubbing it in and not even notice it at all.
I really have no urge to try out any other cuticle balm/oil-like products as I am completely satisfied with this. You can buy Badger Cuticle balm on ebay here. You can also check out Badger's website here I also recommend their lip balms aswell if you're really into the whole natural thing. :)
Take care & enjoy your day. Thanks for reading.
