The balm comes packaged in a plastic tub and is rather thick. It does seem a little pricey but, there's a lot of product in there and since it is very thick, a little goes a long way. The texture is smooth and spreads well on dry skin. I do have to massage it in for a while before it gets completely absorbed. The smell is a little strong but, in a nice way. It smells a little fruity with just a hint of sweetness and doesn't linger around for a very long time. The balm is very rich and extremely moisturizing so, if you have dry, itchy skin it is just amazing. It keeps me moisturized, sans the greasiness for more than 8 hours. It might be a little too much during the warmer months but when the weather is slightly dry, it does a fabulous job in keeping my skin soft and supple. It keeps rough spots like knees and elbows moisturized for the longest time. I also love to use a little on my heels when they feel really dry and rough.
Melvita Ultra-Nourishing Body Balm is a fantastic pick if you have very dry skin that also tends to be itchy. It does a great job nourishing and calming dry skin. I don't have to re-apply it so often which makes it a winner for me. It also doubles up as a rich hand cream and keeps hands moisturized without feeling greasy or leaving icky finger marks.
