Neal's Yard Remedies Wild Rose Beauty Balm review

Neal's Yard Remedies Wild Rose beauty balm is a favourite of beauty bloggers and magazines. At £37 for 50g it's expensive and not being chock full of preservatives, it's recommended that it’s used up within three months of opening which could cause an issue if you like to rotate your products. The dominant scents here are rose and patchouli, it's very herbal and smells good for you.

This is an oil based cleanser which I'm mainly using as a pre-shave cleanser to massage my face and neck, leaving the oily balm on the skin before applying shaving soap or cream. The Wild Rose balm can be used in multiple ways, simply as a facial cleanser, as a body balm on elbows or feet etc, left on as a mask, an overnight treatment or even as a hair mask. 


Here are the ingredients:

Rosa canina (Wild rose) seed oil*, Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil*, Cera alba (Beeswax)*, Butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter)*, Cannabis sativa (Hemp) seed oil*, Borago officinalis (Starflower) seed oil*, Pelargonium graveolens (Geranium) flower oil*, Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) leaf oil*, Boswellia carterii (Frankincense) oil, Cymbopogon martini (Palmarosa) herb oil*, Pogostemon cablin (Patchouli) leaf oil*, Ascorbyl palmitate, Tocopherol, Citral, Citronellol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool.
