Dr. Pawpaw Balm Shea Butter 25ml

I bought this ointment because I wanted more after receiving some as a Christmas gift. I absolutely love it on my extrememly dry hands. It's SO helpful, and it's too greasy. I took off one star, because it says you can use it on your lips, and you absolutely can, but I find it then leaves a strange taste in your mouth. I do like that it is all natural!

It is fragrance-free and essential oil free, but it has an odd & off-putting natural scent. The texture is very thick, heavy and not smooth, but also not necessarily that effective at moisturizing. It’s a pretty basic ointment/balm that comes in a small size. The ingredient list isn’t that interesting and it feels more like it sits on the surface, rather than sinking in. i don’t think it’s really worth the price, even on sale. i will not repurchase. i’m going to stick with Aquaphor and also try Homeoplasmine, a French ointment.

I have suffered for years with bad dry flaky and red irritated skin under my nose. I had tried everything and spent hundreds trying to find something which moisturised it and took the dryness away and nothing worked. I initially used the normal yellow Dr paw paw and saw an improvement within a day. I have now used this shea butter one and it’s even better. Will never use anything else again now. The dryness has completely gone and the redness is slowly leaving too as if hardly ever itches now. Would recommend this to anyone.
