BALM OF GILEAD Manuka Eczema Honey Cream - Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin, Eczema, Psoriasis & Dermatitis - Manuka Honey Ointment, Grassfed Tallow

Balm of Gilead is stored in a tin can. Upon opening the can, the Balm was in liquid form due to the extreme temperatures during transport to my home in Arizona. However, once stored at room temperature, the balm became solid with a silky sensation that immediately absorbs to the skin. It gives an immediate relief to dry and itchy skin from eczema. The balm of Gilead provides a heavenly and soothing relief.

Smooth and works great also smells good! Does not irritate at all and leaves skin feel smooth and not too oily

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Its natural, there is no weird or chemical smell or taste and it works! Lips feel softer and dryness is gone. :)

I have tried EVERYTHING to help my painful hand eczema that has started to get really bad in the past year, I think it's due to changing hormones (I'm 54). On occasion I've had to put band aids on my hands so they're not exposed to air or water, as that would cause pain. The only thing that hasn't stung is Shikai's Borage Therapy Hand Cream, which I will continue to purchase. Other than that I've bought hundreds of dollars of all different hand creams, used different cortisones, NOTHING worked to help heal my hand eczema, it's all only been temporary relief.When this balm arrived I couldn't wait to try it. My hands were in pain as usual from the inflammation and painful itch, so I slathered the balm on, and at first it stung and I was SO disappointed, BUT it was stinging because my hands were just in usual bad shape. I kept on slathering it on throughout the day and by the evening it had started healing. The skin has stopped being raw and is actually not inflamed and not stinging, and I'm only on the second day. This is truly a miracle. I have been suffering for the last year with it getting worse and worse.I do intend to talk to a doctor about the underlying cause of it, but for now I am SO grateful for this product. The pain, itch and inflammation was really interfering with my quality of life, and it was all I was thinking about. Washing my hands or even getting my hands wet was giving me anxiety because even that would sting :(AUGUST 3, 2025 update:So I have to revise my review because things have changed since I wrote it.This product is very rich and moisturizing and it helped greatly when I first started to use it, however my skin went back to being in pain, itchy, and inflamed after about a week. It turns out I had a deeper problem which is MY GUT HEALTH. I started taking a probiotic called AKKERMANSIA, and I think I had a case of Leaky Gut Syndrome which was sending toxins into my bloodstream, which was then manifesting as my skin issues. Since I've taken the Akkermansia, my skin is ACTUALLY healing, not just temporarily getting better.Gut health is everything folks, for real!

Fabulous hydrating oil cream, using in florida so not too heavy in humidity. My cosmology friend said my face is very hydrated. Calmed redness and crusty dry patches on my aging skin. I use on my chest to soften and heal sun damage. Works great. Smell disappears. But I like it anyway, smells health to me.

Generally a good lip balm, however I wish I'd looked closer at the ingredients list - the eucalyptus, teatree and mint are definitely strong in this one.Pros: Moisturizing, long lasting formula, and pretty good value! I don't notice it on. I like the clean and natural ingredients list.Cons: The tea tree oil and eucalyptus make this smell medicinal and strong, which is a bit unappealing as an item that goes on the lips.

I cannot overstate how much I love this product. I was not paid to write this review, and I received nothing free from the company. I am in my early 40s and in addition to hormonal changes, I have struggled with inflammation with my ana titer numbers being high without any specific diagnosis of an autoimmune disorder. Unfortunately that means that specialists dismissed the symptoms which were severe and embarrassing and included hair loss, perioral dermatitis, the beginnings of rosacea and what appeared to be hives all over my face. I had sudden allergies to products I had used for years like castor oil. I tried absolutely everything, but my skin remained scaly, extremely dry and irritated. This balm worked like nothing else. For a long time it was the only product I was able to use on my skin even as a chapstick. It cleared up my skin completely within a few days. I continue to use it for wrinkles, especially on my forehead and under my eyes as it is very thick and it keeps my skin extremely moisturized and clear. I do not break out when I use it either and my skin is acne prone. Try it! I've referred to several people as well :)

Just received today. I have severe eczema. This has instantly stopped the burning, itching and is cooling my hot skin. I hope to update with a progress report.I’m pleased with the aroma and ease of application.
