LUSH Ultrabalm is bringing petroleum-free lubrication to the nation. 

This moisturising balm is made with plant waxes and nothing else. No petroleum jelly, no mineral oils, just natural goodness.

Our mix of candelilla wax and jojoba oil is a vegan alternative to beeswax; it creates a protective barrier on the skin and locks in moisture, while rose wax soothes irritations.

You can apply the balm to scuffs and scrapes to relieve discomfort, use it as a barrier cream when applying henna, or even use it as a lip balm. There's nothing crude about our lube.

Ultrabalm is also perfect for babies to relieve nappy rash and hydrate dry skin.

not impressed at all

I love lush... so this was a big disappointment for me. I have had a few of their bath products and love the lip scrub so when I invested in the ultra balm I was so un-impressed. It feels nice on the skin and glides on nicely but I just don't feel that it moisturises anything. I have tried lucas paw paw and trilogy everything balm and this doesn't even compare. I tried on my sons nappy rash, and nothing I tried as a barrier cream... that too was a no, a lip balm.. no, doesn't seem to do anything at all. But maybe someone else may have had a better experience. Overall, I wouldn't waste my money!

Lush - Ultrabalm

This is a great product, multiuse and very moisturising! Many different uses and for the cost it is great.

Tips: Use this for all skin, a little goes a long way.

Ultra-Convenient

This was a product i received as part of a gift pack from Lush. Honestly, it wasn't something that really appealed to me, but i was grateful to get it all the same.

I have this in the mini size, as-well as the normal tin. Both are packaged in the exact same way, just in different size scales, but i'll base the review on the normal size one so it doesn't get confusing. This balm comes in a tin, which might sound heavy, but the packaging itself is really light-weight. It has a screw top lid, which works really well for this balm based product.

The ultra balm is a yellowish colour, and is exactly what it says it is. A balm. It sort of has a vaseline texture, but less sticky, which is nice. I notice a slight smell, which i really like because it smells familiar to me. I can't place my finger on what it smells like but nothing too intense.

This balm feels really nice to use. The consistency is smooth, and it almost ... melts into your skin! I love how it feels when applying it, and find i can find a good range of uses for it from lip balm, to moisturizing the heels on my feet. However, its not as multi-purposeful as one might think. I thought it might help as a barrier for my partners dry hands, but it didnt do him much good.

Overall, a good balm, but nothing.. special! And although il keep the mini one in my handbag just-in case, i probably don't use this product enough to repurchase it.

Good for all sorts

This ultrabalm is so affordable and I use it for just about everything. From the kids scrapes and scratches to my dry skin on my elbows. I also pop a bit on my lips which is gtreat. I have recommended this to many people and they have enjoyed it as well.

Soothing but no miracles

My friend recently recommended this to me after I told her i had a bad rash around my collarbone and neck area and it was the itching that drove me nuts, she thought this balm would at least soothe the itch... And lucky for me she was right.

This comes in a soft aluminium looking tin with a screw top lid and it is packed to the brim with the balm. The scent of this isn't anything I recognise and it's really really subtle. The very light sandy coloured balm has a waxy, oily texture and is almost gritty however I think it is bits of wax that haven't dissolved properly when it's made. I apply this to the itchy spots and it's instantly soothing and calming on my skin, it kind of melts when you apply it to your skin and it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any kind of residue.

While it is calming and soothing it hasn't really healed my skin and I have been using it on a scratch and it hasn't done much. It does act like a bit of a barrier cream and stops water getting into open wounds, so while it's good it's not great. Won't repurchase as there are other products I enjoy more.

Ultrabalmtastic!!

I got a pottle of this as a freebie with some Lush products I bought on line. Thanks to BR I am now a complete Lush junkie!

At first sight I thought “hmmm, interesting, sludgy, odd colour .. what can this be?” so I opened it an tried a little on the back of my hand – whoa!!

Well, the smell did nothing for me I have to say but the product is looovely! It absorbed really quickly leaving a soft and glowy protective barrier on my skin.

So then I looked it up to see what it is intended to be used for. Firstly the list of beautiful oils is very inspiring, as I’m a big fan of oils for my face and neck, ad these were amongst the giants of oils – a mix of candelilla wax and jojoba oil, preferred as a vegan alternative to beeswax. It creates a It can be used to apply to scuffs and scrapes to relieve discomfort, use it as a barrier cream when applying henna, or even use as a lip balm. Wow! Over the years I’ve used petroleum jelly for some of those purposes and I don’t have to tell you that it is not really good stuff to be plastering onto your skin, so this is an amazing alternative.

So since then I’ve been using it by rubbing a small amount into my face, neck, and lips after applying my morning moisturiser each day. It softens my skin and leaves a healthy glow. I just love it. And best of all, a little goes a very long way while doing a really great job.

I highly recommend this product. It has many uses.

soothing balm

I remember purchasing this product to replace my vaseline for my lips and can honestly say that it provides the same relief and the yellowy colour does not bother me at all; however, I would much rather prefer vaseline over the waxy texture of the balm. Only because vaseline is smoother. I still use this balm for dry skin and minor irritation; however, I wouldn't be in a hurry to buy another balm when this one runs out.

Lush Ultrabalm - Review

This is one of my favorite multi purpose balms! It can do so much, and you can use it on your lips, cuticles, and skin.

It comes in a small tin container with lots of product, however this dents very easily so I wouldn't recommend tossing it around too much.

This multi-purpose balm moisturizes very well and has worked wonders for my cuticles, lips and skin.

The smell isn't too overpowering, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what it smells like but it is very mild and barely noticeable.

This moisturizes and protects anywhere you need, and is just such a great multi-use balm. I've repurchased this only 3 times now, as it lasts for about 6 months with daily use.

Tips: Apply to your lashes and brows to make them grow long and strong!

Bit disappointed

I bought this product off a fellow Lush addict, but I didn't realize the tub she had sent me was past its useby date (I don't think she did either). It arrived a week late after a kerfuffle with the mail man and then we were away laughing.

The tin is quite small, similar to their lip balm tins. But as with Lush's products like this, a little goes a long way, which I found was quite true for this. The product inside my tin is mostly solid, but its getting a bit liquidy so I'm guessing that's what it does when it's gone past the use by date.

I've put this on burns and scratches, as well as itchy bites and my cuticles, but I haven't seen a huge difference, nor have I felt that it took the itch or hurt. It's worked alright on my cuticles so I'll use it up for that, but otherwise it's an okay product but I don't think I'd buy it again!

LUSHious

I love the Lush range, I think they have a great range of products, I love this particular product, It is very effective when applying as a balm before applying lippy or even as a intensive balm for dry cracked lips.
