Lakoko Botanical wisdom Balm

The Moment i read about this product i wanted to try it. The first thing i liked about the balm is its 100% natural. And can be used by the whole family. So when i received it, i thought the packaging was great ,cute little bottle, and easy to read and packed to the top with balm, and smelt divine, couldn't wait to try it. With a fusion of exotic oils and packed with nature’s potent anti-oxidants ACE , vitamins and minerals, i used this as a night cream, it made my skin feel so nice and soft, with a nice smell and easy to apply. Also great for dry and cracked lips. For my daughter i used it on her dry skin after having it in a cast for 6 weeks, and in 2 days it was almost gone. I am very happy with this product and recommend you try it as it can be used for a lot of things , this will be a new product that will always be in our house.

Tips: You don't need heaps a little bit goes a long way.

Lakoko can stay!

As a mum of 2 toddlers, I quite often use 'balms' and use them for many different things. I dont have much room in my handbag (nappies, wipes etc argh!) so to be able to have one product that has multiple uses is perfect. This balm was used on chapped lips, dry hands, dry elbows and feet. It was super moisturising, non greasy and the scent for me was heaven!! I will definately be keeping it in my bag, I love it.

Tips: Take it everywhere

I took the good with the not so good

When the Lakoko balm arrived I wasn't sure what to expect, as I inspected the little brown glass jar I went through the ingredients list.

The first ingredient on the list is coconut oil. I use coconut oil for almost anything from cooking, hair masks to makeup remover and massage oil. So I was really looking forward to trying it out!

I started by following the small instructions on the back of the jar. By massaging a small amount of balm into the area of choice. Avoiding the eye area. I applied to my clean face which is normally very sensitive and through this cold winter I've been dealing with dry unforgiving skin. I was surprised by how little I needed to use. As it's cold it was a semi hard balm to get out of the jar but melted on my fingers easily. I used the balm on my face for 5 days straight. I did notice that my skin felt more hydrated. But on the 5th day my skin started breaking out. Now this wasn't just a standard break out. I haven't seen my skin look this bad since I was 15. So I have stopped using it on my face.

My long curly hair has recently been lightened and the frizz is unbelievable. I have tried treatments, curling products, oils and cremes. All either weigh my hair down too much and make it look like I haven't washed my hair in a week or I notice little to no change. I applied the balm to the lower ends of my hair before I went to bed at night. I tied my hair up slept on it and washed my hair in the morning. My hair felt refreshed and less frizzier than normal which was great!

The smell is not my favourite but it's not unpleasant. I haven't had a chance to try it other ways to help but I will definitely continue to try many other ways for the balm to help me.

I'm not sure I would pay $25 to replace the balm when I run out as there are a few other products that are 1/4 of the price that seem to have similar results.

Tips: Careful not to take too much at first -As it melts it spreads a lot easier

Fabulous..

Lakoko balm is totally an amazing product. With all its natural ingredients makes me feel good about using it especially when it comes to my children. My husband sufferes from flaky dry skin and he used Lakoko balm twice and his flaky dry skin was gone within two days of applying twice a day and also in four days of using it on my daughters lips which were so cracked and dry they are now healing so well and she loves using it on her lips to. The aroma that Lakoko Balm presents is smoothing and relaxing all at once which adds to the upmost pleasure in using it. Have already recommended this to all my friends and family i believe in this product. Lakoko Balm is definitely worth the money in trying for any skin, hair or anything in between complications.

Tips: A little goes along way.

Such a versatile little product!

Knowing that I had a limited time to use this before submitting my review I popped it into my bag and carried it around with me so that it was easier to remember, it's small size made this perfect to carry around, not too small to get lost in my Mary Poppins bag but not too big to weigh me down. It's described as a nourishing balm suitable for all skin types and with many uses. After a particularly sore eyebrow wax I smoothed some Lakoko balm on to the area, it had a really lovely consistency and was quite cooling (without being too strong), I applied it a few times over the course of the day and the redness subsided. I also used it on the backs of my hands and around my nose, my skin is really suffering in the South Island winter, I think the balm is maybe a little too oily for me to put all over my face as I am sensitive to breakouts but I might try it one day and see if it soothes. I also used this as a luxurious lip balm and loved it. Overall I really liked this product, how versatile it was and hand bag friendly made it so easy to carry around with me. It has a lovely subtle scent and will last me a while as a little bit goes a long way. I am flying over seas tomorrow and it is pretty much the only beauty product I'll be taking on the plane with me!

Tips: Put it in your bag and carry it around with you, you never know when you might need it!

Oh I love this!

Winter is the time for dry and itchy skin in my house. So this product arriving was a blessing.

The packaging is gorgeous - simply, classy, non-fuss. It looks lovely, it feels like quality and the best thing is when it's empty the little pot can be reused to store lil bits and bobs. Win for upcycling.

The balm is pretty solid, I was initially concerned it had frozen in the cold, but it melts so beautifully and easily upon contact with the skin.

It smells like lavender, but it's not too nanna-ry and it also doesn't have the citronella smell of Trilogy Everything Balm. It's a wonderfully calming scent, I really enjoy it. Could this work as a sleep balm? Maybe, I'll try it!

I've used this on: my persistent greyscale patch, my cuticles, my dry lips, my flakey hands, my rough feet, my dry knees, my sore nose, my burn and my toddler's boo-boos. (Yes I am a sexy flakey beast). All to great success. As other reviewers have said, it's not the best lip balm, but in a pinch it does the job.

My husband really liked the balm on his calluses, but couldn't get passed the lavender smell - he said if it smelt more manly, he'd stop using Vaseline. (So this is a stingy man giving up his $5 product for a $25 product...it must be good!)

Speaking of price, yes, it's pricey, it's on the same price level as Trilogy Everything Balm, but in my opinion it's far superior.

So all up. I love this balm. It's brilliant. I shall be repurchasing in the biggest tub I can find.

Cheers BR!

Tips: Good luck trying to get the tune to Kokomo out of your head.

Co-co-nut. Ku-kui nut. Ooo I like lav-en-der.

Lakoko Multipurpose Natural Balm

I was really happy to land a spot on the trial team for this balm. I haven't used many balms and being an all natural balm it was right up my alley. Lakoko comes in different sized jars, the size I was given for this trial was a 30ml jar. The balm comes in dark brown glass jars with white and light blue paper with the name and a bit of information about the balm. The jar looks nice on my beauty table. When I first opened the jar I wasn't a fan of the scent since it smells like lavender and I'm not into lavender, but now I detect for lime and orange notes at the end so the scent has grown on me a bit. I love that this balm is all natural - coconut oil, kukui nut oil, cera alba, white beeswax, vitamin E, lavender oil, and essential oils of cedarwood, mandarin and lime. Due to the high coconut oil content when my room is cold, the coconut oil is solid and the balm is difficult to get out of the pot and I really have to dig it in and then rub to get it on my skin. When my room is warm and I have had the heater on for awhile it it's soft and easy to spread on my skin.

The main use I had for this balm was my eczema patches on my hands. A flyer that was included in the parcel with the balm suggested using it to diminish ageing on the backs of your hands. I've been applying the balm at least twice a day to where my eczema is flaring up on my hands and while the bumps aren't gone yet my skin is definitely less itchy and the patches haven't spread. It definitely soothes the itching and helps to calm down the eczema. I don't think my hands look more youthful yet but they are more moisturized. The balm doesn't absorb and leaves a protective layer on my skin. The moisture stays on my hands even if I wash them but not through multiple hand washes. I definitely will keep using it as a treatment for my hands and eczema.

I have also applied very tiny bit of the balm to my dry ends. Since my hair is fine I was concerned that using this as a hair treatment would weigh down my hair and leave it greasy and limp, but instead it absorbed into my ends and made them less dry and frizzy. I didn't apply it to my lengths though just my ends.

I've also used this as a lip balm and it gives my lips enough moisture to last a couple hours. While it doesn't beat my favorite lip balms, it's worked better than some cheap chapsticks that left a waxy layer on my lips but didn't really sink in or moisturize. I'm not used to putting something lavender scented on my lips though as I'm used to my lip balms having more yummy scents. But it's nice to know that if I lost my lip balm that this could stand in for a few days until I was able to find out replace it. I don't know how quickly I'll use this jar of balm up but I definitely do like that it's all natural and it's multi-purpose. I definitely will be considering purchasing it when I run out.

Tips: If it's cold it's pretty solid so you'll need to rub it a bit to get some out. If you are going to use it for your hair use the tiniest amount rub in your palms to liquify it and apply it too the ends. Less is more when it comes to your hair. I can't talk for coarser thicker hair since my hair is quite fine, but if you apply too much and apply it every day it can build up and get a bit lanky. Luckily due the coconut oil it does shampoo out nicely and leave my ends soft. If you use this as a hand treatment keep it to the backs of your hands since it doesn't sink into your skin much or use it before bed.

The balm of wisdom!

Thank you Beauty review for making me be a part of the Trial team for the Lakoko multi purpose balm, I am all for finding out if things are as good as they advertise and this balm had me surprised in many ways.

When I received this, I didn't realize it would be so small, my first thought was I would finish this within 1 week of use but was I wrong! Once I got past the size of the jar, I saw how beautifully simple the packaging was, the 30ml glass jar has a heavy luxury feel, its something about glass objects that give off a luxury vibe to them. The scent is quite unique, you can smell the coconut oil, a hint of citrus like the citronella candles and lavender, it has an uplifting relaxing effect.

While trialing this I used it as much as I could, and I used it a lot! Ive used maybe a teaspoon in the time span of a week and a half and Im impressed with how much is left.

My lips and nose have suffered from the cold windy weather so they were perfect things to use the balm on. I use the tip of my nail to scoop some out and using my finger tips heat up the balm before applying it. It isn't greasy unlike other multi purpose balms which I really like, it settles on to your skin very well. This has helped keep the dryness on my nose at bay but it hasn't helped my dry chapped lips, its only fixed the dryness of my lips for 10-15 minutes before I need to reapply more, I can see how this could be costly as the balm isn't cheap so I use a lip balm for my lips and the Lakoko balm for everything else.

It has been a favorite to add to my hair, it moisturizes the ends and gives a soft natural looking shine to my hair. Ive been applying this to my sons eczema on his cheek since I received this and it has nearly disappeared a week after applying the balm daily.

I would repurchase this, infact I will be getting one to keep in my handbag, overall it is a great multi use balm I just wish it would help with my dry lips, but it does help with everything else.

Fabulous 'everything and then some' balm!

I was excited to receive this for trial, even though I wasn't 100% sure what it DID. The short answer appears to be 'everything, Trudi. It does EVERYTHING... and then some'. I'm a fan of Trilogy Everything Balm, and this is very much the same kind of thing.

Lakoko Coconut and Kukui Nut Balm comes in a gorgeous little jar - brown glass, with a black plastic screw top lid, and pale blue and cream labelling - it kinda just screams 'recycle me!' and I plan to!

The balm itself is a solid type, that softens when warm and is easily scooped out with a fingernail - I'm anticipating perhaps needing to use a makeup-cotton bud as the level gets down though, due to having long nails and not wanting the oil to get stuck under my nails....not that it would hurt!

I have used this so far on....

- my hands - bumps and scrapes - my hair - my nails - the soles of my feet - my lips - on temples and wrists to aid sleep

On all counts, it's lovely. It's perfumed - I smell the nut and coconut, but also lavender and can pick out the hint of citrus. It's not a super oily oil - absorbs nicely and is soothing rather than greasy. It's also healing, having had a great effect on minor bumps and grazes. It's nice in my hair, to pull out and gloss up my curls without being hugely greasy. On my lips its a good emergency lipbalm, but I'd rather use my Blistex. It's softened my hands and feet nicely!

All in all, I'd buy this again. $25 seems a lot for the teeny pottle, but the smallest bit goes a really long way.

Fave use so far - on my nails!

Tips: scoop out a small amount to start wth - this liquifies, so you really only need a teeny bit to cover a larger area, eg hair. If you have too much on your hands it's wasted

I LOVE IT!!!!

I was lucky enough to receive this to trial and it arrived in my letter box on the day my first baby arrived, after several days in the hospital i was able to start using it when we got home. All i can say it's amazing, i've been using it on my boobs as you can imagine first time mum im having some issues with her latching and this balm has really helped in repairing them, my baby doesn't mind the taste either, it doesn't interfere with my milk smell. I've also used this on her stomach where she's getting a rash from the nappy band, again works wonders. I love the fact it's a soft balm and easy to apply to sensitive areas, it doesn't firm up too much and softens if in a warm place due to the coconut oil.

I totally recommend this for anyone needing a one stop shop treatment, the scent is nice, not over powering and works wonders.

Tips: A little goes a long way and also great for cracked heels and dry elbows. It really is a magic balm
