Zents Concreta, Anjou / Pear, Firming Repair Balm, 1.25 fl o

I do not like this product. I don’t think it is authentic because I’ve purchased and used it several times before. The consistency is completely different and it leaves an afterscent that reminds me of a low quality perfume. I wouldn’t but this from this vendor again.

Wonderful fragrance

Though it may not look like a lot, a little goes a long way. I use daily on my elbows and just love the results. Not only is the fragrance subtle, the balm soaks right in and keeps my skin soft all day. I use a small makeup spoon to scrap a little bit out since it has a slightly firm consistency (similar to coconut oil). It feels slightly granular when applying, however, that quickly disappears, like it's melting into your skin, leaving it soft. The container is made from hand-carved soapstone and here is something I found online about it -- THE STORY BEHIND THE STONE: Zents company founder Cord Coen spent a life-changing year in India, hosted by a family who opened their doors and their hearts to him. Your purchase supports the stonecraft work of this amazing family, as well as the many artisans they employ to lovingly create each hand-carved soapstone piece. Your stone can be repurposed to hold jewelry, tea lights, herbs, office supplies, and other small items. Or present it to a cherished friend with a present inside.

I originally found this product in a boutique over 20 years ago - the scent is the ORE is divine and I've purchased it dozens of time since then- for myself and gifts for others. I recently scraped my forearm and was worried about scars. As soon as the wound healed, I started putting this balm on every night. 3 days later all of the scabs have softened and it looks SO much better!! Now I have another use for this amazing product that I love. I wish I could become a spokesperson!! Can't say enough good things about them.

Love this balm for the results I see on my hands. It smooths and hydrates well. A little amount goes a long way. The container is beautiful and the amount of balm is a lot more than it looks - the balm insert is deep. I will definitely repurchase!
