I really wanted to like this balm but the shea butter lumps and lavender scent really put me off. On paper this looks like the type of balm that I'd love, it's natural, vegan and made in Australia.
Salt and Glow say that this would be the ideal night time balm as the lavender and orange are calming, but it's just not a scent I can wear on my lips. The balm itself is quite night, it's lightly hydrating and feels pleasant on my lips. The lumpiness makes it unpleasant to apply. No doubt this could be fixed by melting the balm down, but it'd probably get lumpy again once the weather cooled down.
Despite not liking this balm, I'm still interested in trying other Salt and Glow balms.
