Lavender Balm

Anyone care to suggest something worth trying?

To be honest, I haven't tried the AOS lavender balm but if the sandalwood is anything to go by it's top quality. The consistency is more moisturiser than liquid balm but you don't need much.

You can get it from TGS for Ã‚Â£30 or I bought mine from this retailer without box.

The cade/l'occitane en provence after shave balm is good stuff. A bit on the pricey side.

The AoS lavender cream smells (and performs) fantastic, it doesn't smell synthetic in any way to me. On the assumption that the balm will smell similar and the performance Tony has outlined for their balms in general, it might be worth a try.

The Prairie Creations balms are very good. They have the consistency that is more cream like but they absorb very well.

The AoS balms are superb. Extremely moisturising and makes the skin feel fantastic with a slightly moist (but not greasy) feel.

The lavender smell is on the sweet side. Nice. Starting to love this brand.

Is AOS a better bet than the Castle Forbes Lavender balm? Anyone able to compare the two?

The L'Occitane Cade is a great balm, but I don't get any lavender off it.

Dunno Fido, again I like the CF Sandalwood and Cedar cream very much but haven't tried their balms. Probably can't go wrong with either.

Thanks everyone. Time soon to make my mind up.

They do a couple of flavoured varieties , one is lavender & peppercorns? I got a tube a while back (recommended by your good self)
nice stuff , the lavender is'nt overly strong ,and theres just a hint of peppercorns.

Ahh, okay. I was under the impression they only did one 'flavour'

Just to round this off, thanks for the responses - I decided to invest my winnings on the Russian World Cup success in the Castle Forbes Lavender Balm.

I had a feeling that you were going to go with the Castle Forbes.
