Beauty Editor's Review

What's this?
An all-natural, locally-produced body moisturiser.

What does it do?
Not only does it leave skin feeling soft and hydrated, but it also assists in healing and soothing dry, chapped, hurt or irritable skins.

Game-changing ingredients
The African potato- Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it’s meant to heal, restore and protect the skin (plus it has great moisturising benefits too!).

How does it smell and feel?
I initally expected a potato balm to smell like potato, but this has a beautiful fragrant scent to it that lingers on my skin long after I apply it. I love the rich texture and I find that whenever I use it, my skin feels a lot softer and smoother the next day.

Why we heart it
It’s beautifully nourishing, fragrant, velvety smooth and safe to use on eczema and sensitive skin too. If you’re looking for an effective, natural body balm that won’t cause irritation, this is the product for you.

    Wow!

    What a great example of magic in a jar! Because I have sensitive skin I tried it on the kids first when they got chicken pox - throw away the calamine lotion, this product is ten times better, it even soothes bug bites and scrapes. I took the leap and used it when I got a heat rash - problem solved. Cracked heels - gone, neck pain - a temporary thing! I have one in the first aid kit, one in the nightstand and another jar in the bathroom.

    Amazing Stuff

    When I do dishes without gloves my hands becomes so dry, they start peeling. No lotion helped for this, however this balm did. This is truly amazing stuff.

    Miracle Product!

    What a find this beautiful balm is. For years I have suffered with dry cuticles that tear in and cause my hands to look just awful. When this little jar of cream arrived in my rubybox I was curios and started applying it to my cuticles every night before I went to bed. What a difference - my cuticles are soft, don't tear anymore and my hands are starting to look gorgeous. Thanks for a wonderful product.

    The Best Balm

    There are many all in one balms that do just about everything for the skin, but this African Potato Balm takes the number one spot. Was so excited when I received a generous sample of this in my box. I get a few dry patches around my nose and not much helps for it. I used this balm and could see amazing results.

    A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

    I fell and scraped my knee the day after receiving this wonderful treat. I applied the balm every evening to my scrape and it healed in record time, and left no scar! Absolutely incredible! I also use it on my 2 year old daughters eczema patches and its worked like nothing else has - and we've tried just about everything! Definitely a recommended product!

    Smells divine

    I love the smell of all the essential oils, it has an excellent moisturising effect for dry skin. The only down thing for me was that I already have a oily skin and the balm did not absorb into my skin.

    ooooohhhh my....

    I adore this balm!! My grandmother has been a regular user of potato blam and has always raved about its many uses. I always brushed it off as yet another "old wives tale" until I tried the one included in my September rubybox!! The results are wonderful!! I've been using it on my hands, where I often get a lot of dry skin on my thumbs. I've used it on my legs after shaving, and no eczema break out! Absolutely amazing.... love it!

    A great find!

    This melting balm is great for any 'problem' areas on your skin. It calms redness, soothes, helps heal the odd pimple and it smells amazing. I've got combination skin and have been using it as a night cream on my face, and it's really helped balance things out and hydrate during the change of seasons, without turning my face into an oil slick during the day! Very impressed.

    Great new must have product

    When I first got this balm I was not sure what to do with it, but it is great, the balm melts in your hands and smooths onto your rough dry spots beautifully, I have used this on my face as an extra moisturizing balm and on my knees and elbows anywhere that you need some TLC - and the smell is amazing it is a very uplifting Aromatherapy smell, and is difficult to describe but it might have some orange in it, but it is beautiful and this balm is a very handy product to have in your beauty kit.

    Rich and absorbent

    This skin balm is pretty awesome - it's got a lovely neutral smell and absorbs quickly, with no grease. I especially love using it on my hands!

    Must have...

    This product is awesome.. With the change of weather, my skin have been extremely dried, after using it for 2 days, I can see the significant improvement with my skin condition. The formula is not greasy at all and best of all, it smells amazing...
