Antipodes Saviour Skin Balm

This saviour balm is very aptly named, it really is a skin saviour. Worked on a very hard to deal with sun damaged area on my cheek like a miracle. Great to use on kids scrapes as well, very gentle.

I really love this skin balm and it definitely lives up to it's name. I'm somewhat accident prone and have lots of scars along with a tendency for eczema so I began using this product to try calm the irritation and speed the healing process. It has made a noticeable difference to my scars, even the older ones and unlike some botanical skin products it doesn't seem to have any adverse reactions for me.

Fantastic for healing up minor cuts and bug bites. Sometimes I use it on pimples too. Calms irritation and very minor infections down. A good seal over dry skin.

This reminds me so much of the old Rawleighs balm we used as kids. My Mum always had a tin on hand! However this may be the flasher, modern, more upmarket sister, combining natural "antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial healing properties". It's magic ingredients include teatree, New Zealand Totara and echinacea.

I have used this on and off for the past couple of years for minor scrapes, grazes, insect bites and dry skin. It has been extremely effective in healing and I feel safe and comforted knowing the ingredients are natural and beneficial to mine and my families skin. With it's antibacterial properties, I am assured that there is minimal risk of infection providing an optimum environment for fast healing to occur. The results have been great and I would definitely recommend this to others.

I'm sad to say that although I do like this product a lot, at $46 a tin I am hesitant to buy unless on special. There are many other less expensive healing balms on the market that are just as effective.

I originally switched to this after using up all of my Trilogy Everything Balm, which I didn't mind but didn't find amazing. I definitely prefer Saviour Balm, it is such a handy tool to have and I can't believe how often I use it. I'll admit to being pretty clumsy so having something that I can put on my burns, cuts as well as my dry skin is fantastic. I even used it this evening on the blisters on my feet (stupid new shoes) and already they are looking less irritated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

I love this product, it lasts for ages and can be used on anything, so handy .It comes in a lovely tin so each time I use it I enjoy it, I think all of Antipodes products are just great!

Wow amazing versatile product, cleared up my facial dermatitis in a a couple of days and is now a daily staple on dry chapped hands and lips. And the beauty is it's all natural, smells natural too with no added fragrance.

I was given this as a gift from my sister, one on my ever expanding Beauty Wish List, and it has been amazing. I have lusted over it in stores and picked up the tin but never purchased. This tin is full of healing power and is now my night cream! I suffer from bad contact dermatitis, random things can set it off without warning (if I touch a table that a hard cleanser like jiff has been used on but not entirely rinsed off for example) but this blame sees everything settle down almost immediately. It is an amazing lip balm too.

Well, where should i start? the pot that saviour Balm is in is very 'tiger balmy' container - ish. I mean it reminds me of old school tins that my nanna used to have. this is not a bad thing, as i actually really like it, what i dont like is that sometimes its quite hard to pop the lid off as its not a screw top, its a 'pull' top. The scent of it is quite diffferent as its not just one smell, I can smell Tea tree, not over bearing, and something else that i cant really pick. The texture of the balm is creamy, yet thin. As its a balm, it leaves a oily residue, but it is a hydrating balm, so i expected that. The actual look of the balm itself reminds me of good ole tiger balm, kind of like a Honey looking colour and tone. Ok so on to the good stuff, this balm is AMAZING for sunburn!!! (amoung other things). I have had this for nearly a year and only ever used it for insect bites and dodgy cuticles, sore dry ugly feet and dry lips (before i was introduced to hurraw). Now back to the sunburn!! so long story short, i was badly sunburnt on my back where i got burnt over day old sunburn and i did not have anything that would help the sting or the itch that you get when burns are healing. This stuff was INCREDABLE!!! and usng it twice a day for a week helped with the burn NOT PEELING!!! and it felt sooooo good on my back!!! would i reccommend this to others? YES, however if you dont like oily residues, then maybe you may not like it as much as me!!!
