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.

Love this unscented balm that won't conflict with any fragrance that you may want to wear or for those of you with fragrance sensitivities and the white alabaster jar is simply lovely! Once I received a jar that wasn't white, but it was easily returned with no issues,

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 am obsessed with this product, not only is the container stunning but it works really well moisturizing your hands. Great ingredients & You can buy a refill for the container, which is great for sustainability. I like the Ore smell or the unzented version with no smell. I’m sure all of them smell amazing.

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.
