This is more like an oil than a balm, it's in a “harder” texture but reminds me of coconut oil, cause as soon as it hits the skin, it melts and becomes a hydrating oil. It was an interesting product to use, as I've never used something like this before. It was nice on my leg but I wasn't a fan of the smell, “sweet and tangy” not even close. Ever once and awhile I could make out some of the citrus' scents but really it just reminded me of lemongrass.
