The Ilex Wood - Calendula Salve - all natural balm, soothes rashes, itching, dry skin, eczema, hand cream for women and men, cruelty free, plastic free - 100ml

I purchased these balms after reading about the Dandelion and Rosemary Balm on a Lichen Sclerosis website. Brief explanation, when you have Lichen Sclerosis you need to moisturise the area regularly to reduce dryness, itching, any sores and pain and I was not finding the products advised to be useful at all, so was looking further!I decided to purchase the 3 pack bundle as after reading about the individual products on the product details and Holly’s explanation for which is the better product for what use, they would all work for me and it was economically a chance I was willing to take.Even though I had read about the Dandelion and Rosemary balm, I decided to use the Boo Boo Balm and I am amazed at the results I have had and could honestly cry with happiness as all the problems I had been having have disappeared. I have finally found a product which really, really helps my situation.The products come in a tin and the lid does a great job as the product does not dry out. It is slightly greasy but this is perfect for my requirements. The scent is subtle but really lovely. The size of the tin is perfect to carry in a bag and also to take travelling if you so wished.After I had purchased the balms, I got a lovely message from Holly explaining this is a new business venture and I really hope her business can grow as I will continue using this product, hopefully for the rest of my life and this is not an over statement. I cannot recommend the balms enough, they definitely work for me!!Good luck Holly, you are my 🌟🌟. I cannot thank you enough for the relief I have!!PS I am so pleased that I sent Holly the following message and I do not leave reviews lightly.Hi Holly, just wanted to give you an update. I have been using the Boo Boo Balm and I cannot express how grateful I am for your products. I could cry with happiness as all of my problems, pain, dryness, itching, sores have all healed after using your product and I will recommend to anyone willingly. I have been searching for something that will bring me relief for as long as I can remember, without any success until I read about your products. I really wish you the best for the future and hope your business grows as I will be purchasing them for, probably the rest of my life!! This is not an overstatement! You really are my hero 🥰🥰. Thank you!

There are three products in this offering:1) Calendula salve. I am a regular user of calendula products, especially in the cooler month, as I get dry and itchy skin at that time of year. This salve works very well, it is a firm product swirling your fingers over the surface leaves a thin oily balm on your fingers - massaging this balm into skin the oiliness disappears quite quickly and and after only a few uses the dryness and itchiness is much reduced.2) Dandelion and Rosemary salve. I have been using this as a hand salve. It is much softer than the calendula salve - a gentle push on the surface of the product allows you to take small quantity. Using on damp, freshly washed hands it moisturises and protects. I like the scent too - its not particularly strong but is fresh and uplifting.3) BooBoo Balm. This is another calendula based product and I have been using it exclusively on my face. Just tiny amounts to protect my skin from the colder weather. I have also used it on my nose when I had a cold - it really helped minimise the whole "Rudolph" look I normally sport when I have a cold.All in all I am very happy with this trio of products. The tins (recyclable aluminium) hold 100ml of product and the products have a six month lifespan once opened. I am not sure I will be able to finish the product in this time span but when I get to the end of that time I shall use them as all over body moisturisers so as to use every last bit.I'm happy to have found The Ilex Wood and happily recommend these products.

This is how calendula cream should be!!! It doesn’t get more natural than this! I see some people commenting without knowing, awaiting it to be smooth like Nivea or something. It’s ment to be a bit rough like this.The skin healing power of calendula is really beyond belief! I used it to heal some hernia operation cut wounds.And finding a product that preserves the most out of it like this one is rare, especially commercially since usually it’s so over processed to make it more appealing for the “Nivea people”.Don’t be fooled! This cream is a quality powerhouse!!!

Used to help heal gymnastic rip on palm. Balm soaks in well and smells great. Lovely product, loved that it is made with natural ingredients too.

Despatched as promised, securely packaged via R Mail currier. Quality appears to be fine, not had time to use the product yet. It has no smell which suggests it is pure Calendula as requested. Excellent communication. Thank you. Recommended.

I have already used all of these salves, they are amazing!!! The dandelion one is fantastic for knee pain and the calendula one has cleared up a rash on my hand in a couple of days. The boo boo balm I have used on me and my dog, just brilliant.

Lovely salve, natural and perfect for my dry hands.Always in my handbag!thank you! I definitely recommend!

Really worked and healed skin well was lovely soft product and smelled nice really recommended for itchy red dry skin
