Zents Concreta Firming Repair Balm & Solid Parfum (Oolong Fragrance) | Moisturizing Shea Butter & Coconut Oil for Skin | 1.25 fl oz

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.

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 get more compliments on this scent then any I have ever worn. It is steamy and sexy and mysterious and I love it. People tell me they can tell where I have been because the scent lingers and not in a bad way. I had an office fling a few years ago and I still get messages that say "I got on the elevator and I smelled you and it drove me crazy". I like that. People ask what it is and I tell them it is my secret. My sister gave me a concreta for Christmas one year and I actually thought it smelled too masculine for me. I put it unused in the cabinet and a year later pulled it out when I had run out of my regular scent. I could smell myself throughout the day and realized I was crazy for ever putting it away. I've been wearing it and only it ever since.

i’ve been a massage therapist for ten years and the office i first worked in had this series. the ore was used and gone first. it is absolutely divine…..i figured i would try to find it and i’m so glad that it’s still around. just lovely. would be perfect for a man or woman as well. my daughter can’t stop using it as well.

TRAVEL HINT: I put some of the concreta in a contact lense cleaning case. Portable, no worries about spills as you may have with a liquid scent. ZENTS are great if you normally are allergic to synthetic perfumes and scents. They can be layered and the scent is pleasant but not strong. The concreta can be used for dry skin, to smooth hair, or just for scent. This lasts a long time (good value for the $$$) and the stone container is useful for other purposes.

This product although advertised as a balm, doesn't feel like it. It feels like wax. It's difficult to apply to your skin as it doesn't spread or absorb like a cream would. It's a very unpleasant experience. I can't get it out of the container without a struggle and applying to skin feels terrible. Too bad because the scent is wonderful.

This product works great on dry hands and cuticles. Great packaging.

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.
