Babo Botanicals Sensitive Skin Hydrating Stick is a really effective multi-purpose moisturizing and healing balm that really addresses the needs of dry, chapped winter skin. Gentle enough for sensitive and eczema prone skin, this natural formula is dairy, soy, gluten-free, fragrance free, hypoallergenic and non-irritating. Furthermore, it moisturizes, calms, comforts and heals dry skin, and leaves it soft and smooth.
I have really noticed that my hands have been particularly dry this winter, especially after having recovered from the flu, and the constant hand-washing has truly wreaked havoc on my skin, but this balm has worked wonders. I leave it on my nightstand and apply it in the mornings and the evenings, and in just a couple days my skin was no longer chapped and dry.The Lavender, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Peppermint and Rosemary oils give this balm a lightly refreshing aroma, but the scent isn't assertive or too obvious. That said, I would absolutely avoid putting this balm anywhere near your eyes.

I have to get into the balm thing. I've been sent several, but I can never really figure out what to do with them. Somehow, I stick to my body butters and rich lotions. Fortunately, no dry elbows or knees for me, and I have a foot cream that I love.
ReplyDeleteThey can be used anywhere you need moisture, including the lips and hands. You definitely don't need to have dry elbows or knees to benefit from a good balm! They are convenient and travel friendly, too!
DeleteI have one of these and it's really good for travel!
ReplyDeleteIt really is great for travel!
DeleteI'm taking this with me on my voyage. It's one that my husband will use too. And it's a great size for travel.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect for travel, and it's spill proof!
DeleteI really like the idea of hydrating sticks but the ones I've tried so far have been disappointing. This one does sound really good to use on the body!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear hat the ones that you have tried have fallen short. This one is definitely good, and worth trying if you are seeking another hydrating balm.
DeleteI so need to try this because my eczema is acting crazy right now
ReplyDeleteYou might really like his, and find it helpful for your eczema.
DeleteInitially I thought it was a deodorant due to its packaging. I have dry hands too
ReplyDeleteLol! Yes, it is in the same type of packaging that one sees used for deodorants! It is a really effective hydrator for dry, chapped hands!
DeleteDefinitely perfect for travel! Oh the times lotions have leaked in my bag...
ReplyDeleteIt really is, and the fact that there is no leaking (unless of course it got unbearably hot and melted) is a definite plus!
DeleteWhat an interesting product!
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely an effective balm. I really like it a lot, too!
DeleteI'll have to try this for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely worth having!
DeleteI've always liked the idea of balms, but I'm only now really getting into them. Right now I am using one for the eyes from a tiny local indie brand :)
ReplyDeleteBalms are so great, and they are especially effective during the cold weather! Which balm for the eyes are you using? I love supporting small indie brands!
