Comes in a cute .75oz/21g round tin.
I purchased this out of curiosity and when I got home tore open the seal and was disgusted to find it smells live Savlon (you know the pink antiseptic cream) and looked just like furnature wax, yes it has the same consistency.
I tossed it into a drawer!!
So my night hand cream ran out and I could only find this, it is like rubbing lipbalm into your hands.
Over the week I noticed a big improvement, the small dry patches inbetween my fingers have disapeared, so thats it I'm sold on this one!!

Ingredients: Olea Europaea, Cera Alba, Ricinus Communis, Aloe Barbadenis, Betula Lenta

Yes that was lost on me too Laughing

Here's the Badger site link:

Can't find an edit key, I just wanted to add this bit of info that I found from the website about the healing balm:

"The key to this super soothing balm is in the ingredients: Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Beeswax, natural healers for literally thousands of years. They are rich in natural ferments, enzymes, E vitamins and essential fatty acids. They leave your skin feeling silky smooth. Funny thing is, this simple combination of oil and wax is gentle enough for problem skin yet tough and effective enough for rough weathered skin anywhere on the body."

I need to try this. I am a big sucker for the Badger packaging and their stuff is lovely (minus the cinnamon bay lip balm....). I use the sleep balm and I'm thinking of getting the healing balm, winter balm and the foot balm (again). Maybe their Chai Rose lip balm as well, just for good measure Smile

For us "internationals", the best place I have found to buy Badger balms so far has been uncommonscents.com. I'll be repurchasing soon so if someone has a better suggestion for a site that ships outside of US/Canada then I'd be very interested in hearing about it. TIA

Okay, I am a sucker for balms. Just ordered the healing balm & foot balm for my hubby and cuticle balm for myself. Can't wait and the little badger is so cute!

I love this stuff!! (and of course, the adorable badger tin is a nice bonus!) For me the best part about the badger balm is that it's so versatile. When I travel, to save room I bring just one little tin of the badger balm and use it for hand cream, foot cream, lip balm, and even eye cream (in the winter.) Great stuff, and if you don't like the small of the original, the lavender orange variety is a nice change of pace.

Got it in yesterday. Love it! The cuticle cream is very rich and soft and the healing balm smells great. I love the foot balm the best, it warms the foot and it smooths the heel area very nicely.

I think next time I am out some more of these may be finding their way home with me Laughing

My feet need all the help they can get Embarassed

My hubby has feet so rough/dry he needs an estimate from the auto shop instead of a pedicure, and he loves the foot balm. Very soothing and healing with the cardemum, peppermint, eucalyptus, olive oil, beeswax and tea tree oils in it. I love it on my dry heels and I need it being a barefoot kind of girl.

So really the main ingredients are olive oil, beeswax (cera alba), castor oil (ricinus comunis) aloe gel (aloe barbadenis?) and what in the world is betula lenta?

I'm going to try and make some of this... Carrie where are you? wave

p/s It says on the website: Ingredients: Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Beeswax, and Nothing Else. hmm

p/p/s Oh, that's the unscented! Duh. The scented one has: Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Beeswax, Alo Vera Extract and Essential Oil of Sweet Birch.

When I was ill my father got me the Sleep Balm. Can't say it's helped to induce drowsiness but it smells amazing! I love it. You can put it on your lips, face, rub some into your neck or into your temples, and it's lasted for a surprisingly long time.
