Great heating balm

So reading the negative reviews, I started wondering whether or not this balm is just marketed in a wrong way. I bought it because I love Sanctuary Spa, but I also bought it for a specific purpose: I suffer from lower back pain (after car accident injury), had tons of physiotherapy over the years and heating gels, balms and ointments are best for me to relax muscle and ultimately combat pain. I use them in the autumn and winter regularly, so if you in need of that kind of product, this is the best one I found so far.

Excellent

Great heating balm specially for winter months as it can get really warm for summer, but it’s an absolute saviour for aches and pains, also to relieve tension as the aroma is very relaxing. Plus, leaves skin so soft! 10 product.

Love it

I absolutely adore this body balm. I have painful joints and when I rub some of this on it self heats and is just so relieving. It also smells lovely and no-one would be aware you had a heating product on. No strong chemical scents. I have purchased this many times now and it’s my go to. All Sanctuary products are exceptional in my opinion.

Brilliant

As someone with joint problems I really recommend this. I love it and have purchased more. It gets really warm, which I love. The scent is beautiful as are all Sanctuary Spa products. No deep heat smell here! It really helps relax the joints making it easier to sleep. Wash your hands after using, it can irritate your eyes if you rub them. I know because I did it. Can’t recommend it enough

WARMING

Excellent. I use this on my knees before bed, works for me. Helps relieve pain and relaxes me to sleep. Be warned though it can get very warm. So use sparingly. Lovely fragrance.

Amazing stuff

After trying everything to deal with endometriosis pain, I thought I’d give this a go because it’s reasonably priced and it would be a nice treat if nothing else. This is like a hot water bottle in a tube, totally relieved my pain, and smells divine. I can’t get over how much it helped, and bonus points for making my skin feel really soft , and the scent putting me into a lovely sleep. I can’t live without this now

Extremely heating – perfect for my severe chronic pain

As many have noted in reviews elsewhere, the heating is INTENSE with this product – it does burn, especially if you apply too much. For me, it’s heavensent; I have a rare connective tissue disorder, and oftentimes my hip and knee pain especially keeps me awake at night, but this WORKS like nothing else has for me.

Does what it says, but be careful..

I bought this thinking it would be really nice and warming and relaxing, I use different skin products all the time and have never had any issues and don’t consider myself to have sensitive skin. Also never tend to leave reveiws much but I Used this and it started to warm and warm and warm then started to feel like it was burning. Washed it off straight away and my skin was bright red patchy and hurting. It’s definitely warming but just be careful, I may of just had an allergic reaction but I wouldn’t use this if your skin is sensitive at all.

Based on the ingredients included, “Sanctuary – Spa De-Stress Warming Body Balm” works well for moisturizing the skin. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Panthenol and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Dimethicone and dimethiconol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: allantoin
