this is thick stuff. I tried it a couple times. I like the thickness, and maybe my hands were cold, but it did not seem to "melt" like the balm does(typically use oil and balm). I didn't like that it doesn't seem to get all the way the the skin. I always thought "oil for skin, balm for control". The control is there, definitely, but I don't want my skin to dry out. Also the scent(big thicket) is not true to the scent uniformity between the oil and balm. I will try it again no that I have cut some length off. As always, ordering and shipping is fast and easy.,
