Moa: The Green balm. What is it?

moa_the_green_balm.jpgI'm always a bit suspicious about products that call themselves 'all purpose', so I raised an eyebrow when I was handed a leaflet about Moa the Green Balm, a 'miracle' potion from Iceland that claims all kinds of amazing skin benefits.

Moa is essentially an organic, herbal balm that is aimed particularly at those with dry skin, but its uses are listed as relieving everything from minor burns to frostbite, which is pretty unusual for something you'd find in the beauty counter.

In Moa's favour, it does have an impressive array of natural and eco-friendly ingredients: it's organic, contains no lanolin, parabens or perfume, and is full of herbs only found in Iceland's unique climte.

Over the next few days, I'll be testing Moa along with the girls from Kiss and Makeup, so you'll soon get to find out how well the claims stand up. But I'm not inflicting frostbite on myself in the name of research!

well, my uncle tried it for frostbite - so you don't have to! he works in Sibiria, and seems to think there's no better solution for it. i gave him a pot after buying it but wasn't too keen on the smell - i knew he wouldn't mind it. since then, i've been reading more about it, and was recently 'forced' to buy myself another pot...i now use it as a make up remover...it's fab!

Hi Christina. Wow, well if that is the case then this must be some genuinely powerful stuff! Any idea what else it might be good for? I've got a few instect bits I could try it on, though nothing as dramatic as frostbite, thankfully! And I'll give it a try as makeup remover...
