SPA CEYLON DE-STRESS Harmonising Balm | Calming & Relaxing | Silicone Free | Suitable for all skin types

I have always found these type of balms to be quite effective. They smell wonderful and it does encourage you to relax when you breathe them in.You don't need a lot a small dab on your pulse points lasts all day, I find using these prior to train travel a great help.Packaging is lovely, a glass jar always gives a more luxurious feel than plastic and this one is blue so would look great in your drawer with your other products.They are a bit expensive but if you are looking for a gift these would be ideal

The balm arrived in a lovely patterned cardboard box and in a vivid blue glass jar (a big tick for me as I'd really rather not use plastic given a choice). The balm is also all natural ingredients including numerous essential oils, some of which I know are expensive (eg sandalwood in particular). I could smell the balm as soon as I took the lid off. It smells exotically warm-woody with an uplift of various citrus scents. You only need a bit on one pulse point or two, the scent will last all day (I actually added too much the first time - both inner wrists & neck, and had to wash some off after the first hour). The essential oils are used in aromatherapy and ayurvedic treatments to support the de-stress, harmonising, calming & relaxing claims. This balm will last ages & ages and would make a lovely gift.

SPA CEYLON DE-STRESS Harmonising Balm arrived in a printed box that was not film wrapped - so no plastic wrapping👍. The box is attractive and suitable for a gift.Printed on the box are the ingredients and the expiry date (04/2027). The ingredients are all natural (see photo).The balm (25g) is contained in an attractive blue glass bottle - the balm itself is a cream colour. The scent is strong and citrusy/frankincense in nature - fine to rub on muscles but not a perfume type of scent. The barm is light and it is easy to apply to the skin and penetrates well - so it will be hydrating. It may well be cooling and may work on a muscle injury - not sure about the de-stress claim.This is a good quality balm but none of the ingredients are organic. The current price is £13.00 for 25g (so £520/kg) - an expensive product but good for a gift.

This is a lovely balm, it comes beautifully packaged and the glass jar gives it a feel of luxury.There are a really good level of aromatherapy oils used in this product, it's a solid, oily base which is easy to apply to wrists, temples etc.I do find I feel more grounded when I use it and am looking forward to using it when I need calm and focus. Could be great for exams etc.

At first you think this is going to be a rich, waxy balm but it isn't! It's a delightfully light jelly and you only need the tiniest dab which glides onto your skin.I was expecting it to be strong in aroma but it's subtle and not too intrusive, which I really liked. The smell is unisex, and has a citrusy, woody aroma that can be enjoyed by men and women.Let's talk about the packaging - it's beautiful, and very giftable. The only thing I would say is that it came with a large barcode sticker, but this is easy to remove if you are careful when peeling it away.

I've tried balms in Sri Lanka before and they have always been good products. The Spa Ceylon products aren't from Sri Lanka but attach the Ceylon name to their range.I didn't go too much on the smell of the De-Stress balm, I'm afraid. I'm a big fan of citrus scents and I love sandalwood but I just didn't find any of those aromas coming through and it's not strong enough to be able to smell it unless it's right up to my nose. I didn't get a sense of calm or feel relaxed.I found the balm quite greasy when applying to the skin and is better in small quantities and spread over a bigger area. It was also a bit grainy when it came out of the tub but this dissolved when rubbed. Although the pot is really attractive I found that it was difficult to get the balm out as the opening is very small and you have to get your finger right in. The balm is very soft, verging on liquid, so maybe storing it in a fridge might firm it up (not tried).I think I prefer the Peace balm, which I also ordered, to the De-Stress balm as the smell was more pronounced.Attractively packaged, they would make a lovely gift or as part of a pampering hamper.

I rated this product with 5 stars and I would happily recommend it to anyone.It arrived in a nice looking box and it can definitely make a nice present.The balm came in a beautiful glass little jar which instantly made me happy as I’m struggling with the plastic packaging. This is a big tick for me.The jar is blue and it presents itself really nicely, it screams great quality by just looking at it.When you unscrew the lid the scent doesn’t hit you, it’s very subtle but then when you rub it on your skin you can certainly smell the blend of all the calming oils. I love this scent, not overwhelming.It’s a good consistency and you don’t need too much, just tiny bit and this little jar should last you a while.It’s all natural and this is another big tick for me!Thank you and yes, go for it!

Smells nice, nice texture that isn't too sticky. Quite pricey but you only need a little bit. Nice jar and packaging so would make a good gift.
