Satin sugar all-purpose treatment balm - body moisturizer discontinued by Cake Beauty - review by bzzingbee

This moisturizing product is ideal for adding deeper moisture to dry areas like elbows, heels, and the like. It is not an easily spreadable style lotion so it isn't very good for all over moisturizing. The balm is a hard waxy like consistency that requires running your fingers around it several times with firm pressure to get any of the balm to apply anywhere. If you want a larger amount, the best way to get it quickly and easily is to use a toothpick or other utensil to lift a ball of of the balm out. For applying all over the hands, that has been the best method for me.

The balm comes in a round plastic container that has a screw top lid. The lid has a sticker on top that lists all the different places that the balm can be used: knees, hands, lips, cuticles, heels, elbows, dry s pots, and frizzy ends. Pretty much any where external that you have dry skin. It delivers quick moisturization, when you can get enough to apply where you want it, and doesn't leave skin feeling greasy. I've tried this on dry skin, on my lips and on my hair tips. Skin absorbs it leaving a soft lightly scented feel behind. My lips get chapped easily, especially in the winter and this works pretty well for moisturizing, though it isn't convenient enough to replace my regular chapstick. When used on my hair, it leaves the tips feeling softer and acts similar to a styling wax in the way that it calms hair down. I'd definitely stick to using it on the ends of the hair though because it could weigh down hair at the roots.

One thing I'm not crazy about with this balm is the scent. It smells like a spiced holiday cookie sometimes and straight butter other times. It is at least a light scent so that it doesn't jump out at you when you have it on, but I have other easier to apply lotions that smell better. I'm less likely to use this because of the scent and lack of convenience.

The balm washes away easily if you've applied it to one area of the body but don't want it on your hands. Rubbing it in will definitely leave some moisturizing effects on your hands, regardless of whether you wash it off or not.
