Soothing Skin Balm

Fabulous product I've been using for many years. You can use it as a regular face moisturizer it's good for irritations on the skin wonderful company highly recommend it

Nice smooth creamy consistency. A gel consistency that melts into a light oil and absorbs quickly into the skin. Great for after sun care

This is a nice moisturizer and lasts for the day, but be careful that you don't put on light colored clothes right after you apply it. The clothes will get orange markings on them and it is not easy to get it out in the wash. This is the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 starts.

I am using this balm on a skin condition on my nose, in conjunction with poke oil that I also bought on Amazon. I alternate the two, the neem balm and the poke oil. This is a nice balm. It keeps the area soft and less red, and the long-standing condition is improving. I ordered this because a previous neem balm, in a smaller jar, was no longer available. I like this product even better. I also use a neem tincture internally. I bought a small book about neem; famous stuff, its uses are well known for centuries. I recommend this balm.

I really love Banyan Botanical’s Soothing Skin Balm. A friend gave me my first jar, telling me that it was an Ayurvedic product that would be cooling to my skin. I have dishydrotic eczema on my hands, which can become very red, hot, and swollen. I haven’t found anything that works as well as this balm. It cools my skin and eases the swelling. I have ordered this balm a number of times now. I don’t often leave reviews, but this is one product I highly recommend!

I have been using soothing skin balm since 2021. I have always received so my compliments on my glowing skin, people were always shocked when I would say I used no active ingredients, no cleansers, no serums or expensive products. Just warm water, and banyan. I have used this product liberally, all over my face and neck for years. Sometimes multiple times a day. This has been the worst summer of my life. My doctor thought I had lupus. I had a butterfly rash that covered my face, day after day, after day. My skin was peeling and cracking and so horribly dry that it was causing me pain. My eyelids were swelling, eyelashes falling out. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars with functional medicine doctors, allergists, and dermatologists. I have removed just about every potential toxin from my life, changed all of my household products from laundry to cleaning supplies. Went on an autoimmune diet. We tried everything - blood work, nor testing or diet changes were diagnosing what was happening to me. Finally, after working with a new dermatologist who was ready to CUT AND BIOPSY my face, asked me if I had any single product, household item or food that I hadn’t removed from my life and when I answered “just my moisturizer but I’ve been using it for years” I felt immediately, dumbfounded. I had never considered this product could be the culprit. I thought it was the only thing that didn’t need removing. After 2 weeks of stopping use, I have had 0 flare ups, no inflammation or redness, no dryness cracking or peeling. My skin is healing. It makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it too hard. Months of suffering. So much money spent on doctors and testing. Losing my eyelashes. A summer spent suffering.. and I was doing it to myself. Every single day. I spent years using this product but this is the first and only bottle I purchased that had this new label. Has banyan changed the formula along with the branding refresh?? Please respond!

Well made soap and it is working to heal some very bad skin problems. Although I use a prescription antibiotic on the skin also. Best bar soap in a long time. .

This balm is not a cream. I probably should have known that from the description. But it is hard and greasy and has a very overwhelming earthy smell that I did not care for at all despite typically liking things like vetiver and amber. Not a winner for me.
