Weleda Foot Balm Reviews

Review of Weleda Foot Balm

Sally Sisson

Packaging: Weleda Foot Balm is an aluminum tube inside a cardboard box. The tubes packaging is simple and slightly clinical.

Application: The foot balm has a thick consistency making it easy to dispense as much or as little as you want. I warmed the cream in my hands and applied it, although the balm is very rich it also absorbs extremely quickly allowing me to get dressed quickly.

Ingredients: The ingredients list is pretty simple. Weleda Products are renowned for their herbal remedies and carefully chosen ingredients. I was surprised to see alcohol in the list but then figured that this ingredient helps to cool the feet and leaves them feeling super fresh. Peanut oil, beeswax and calendula are also in there to moisturize and soothe the feet. The fragrance is slightly citrusy and minty at the same time, very clean smelling.

Results: As the product is so quickly absorbed I found myself using it more frequently than other brands. As a result of regular use my feet felt very fresh and the dry skin well moisturized. ‘Weleda Foot Balm counteracts excessive perspiration, cooling to revitalise, soothe and refresh tired feet.’ I would definitely agree with this.

Pros:

Very quickly absorbed.

Great for sweaty feet i.e. sports people.

Fresh clean fragrance, very unisex.

Cons:

Makes the feet feel very cool so not ideal in the winter.

Natural Being Manuka Day Cream Reviews

Natural Being Manuka Day Cream
By Catherine J.

Packaging: Natural Being Manuka Day Cream comes in a white plastic tube with gold lettering. It has a screw lid and is very easy to use. It is recyclable and has the “Please Recycle” logo on the back which is good as it reminds people that they can recycle the packaging.

Application: Natural Being Manuka Day Cream was a good consistency and came out of the tube easily. The cream was easily absorbed by my skin and left it feeling soft. After applying my skin felt nourished and cared for and I noticed that after using the Natural Being Manuka Honey Day Cream for a month I seemed to have clearer skin...

I did find that the cream had rather a sweet smell and whilst I didn’t find it unpleasant, I didn’t really like the smell, however as the fragrance quickly faded it wasn’t significant enough to stop me from using it.

Ingredients: The ingredients were not shown on the tube but after looking on the internet I found that the key ingredients were: Active Manuka Honey which is used in all Natural Being Products and is proven to revitalize the skin by gently stimulating cell renewal, as it hydrates and maintains moisture levels without feeling greasy, leaving the skin glowing with health.

Manuka Oil for its unique anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, which fight the micro-organisms that cause irritation and blemishes.

Results: After using the Natural Being Manuka Day Cream for a month I have found that my skin is much clearer and I haven’t had any breakouts of spots. My skin looks radiant and healthy and is lovely and soft.

Pros:

Made with natural ingredients

Easily absorbed

Affordable

Cons:

It has a quite distinctive sweet smell which might not appeal to everyone
