LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!This really does soften dry skin. My hands feel so smooth and elbows soooooo soft. I love the scent of honey so I'm fine with the smell. Now a fav must have.

I can't believe I love this, since the texture is just so weird, and spreading it is an ordeal in itself...but I really do adore it. The smell is amazing, not artificial at all, and once it sinks...

A wonderful spreadable balm that smells just like real honey! Very protective, softening & hydrating. Scent lasts and lasts.

This product has become one of my staples. At first when I got it I was still on the fence whether I would like it since the texture does need a little getting use to. However, I love the honey...

Another gift from Nedra, this is a really nice balm. The texture is different, a bit runnier than most balms, but the scent is pure honey and the softening is excellent. Good stuff, especially...

This is a fantastic product! I took one lipstick off for packaging, but the actual stuff is great. You have to get used to the texture and consistency (it's not as scary as it sounds!). Leaves my...

I wear this for the scent, not for the moisturizing qualities. However, I have noticed that this balm, despite its gooey texture in the jar, sinks right in without greasiness and makes the skin on...

I received this in a swap & I am in love. This balm has the EXACT smell of cream honey, a rather solid honey which is very common in Southern France. Having grown up with cream honey, I find this...

I love this. It smells fabulous. Mostly like honey, but a bit flowery. The ingredients list says there's gardenia extract in it. The texture is interesting. It's like a runny goop. You have...

The texture of this product is a little difficult to get used to- it really does feel like you're slathering sticky honey on your skin. It sinks in very quickly, though and leaves skin incredibly...

I got this lotion as a free 1.7 oz sample, which is big enough to use many times. It's ridiculously overpriced,so I'm not sure I would buy it, even though I rather like it. At first it seemed...

This is pretty much the exact same product as L'Occitane's honey body balm. And since it's been said that L'Occitane owns Le Couvent des Minimes, that makes sense. This has a very unique texture as...

I got this one as a freebie. I like it well enough... it feels like I'm slathering honey all over my body at first, but it rubs in nicely as a cream. It's rich, but not greasy, so my skin felt...

Love this. Got it for free with a coupon and can't wait to repurchase in full size. Smells just like honey, goes on like silk, and the moisture lasts all day. Best. Moisturizer. Ever.

If I had about $24 to splurge on a 4 oz jar of body balm I'd repurchase this. :) But seriously it is GREAT stuff. Makes my hands ultra soft (haven't tried anywhere else yet). I got a generous...
