  Contains Oxybenzone :(

  Review by Richard on June 14, 2012

  This was my go-to face moisturizer, but then I saw that it contains Oxybenzone, which according to safe mama dot com, is an endocrine disruptor which can affect the nervous system, has been linked to cancer in some laboratory studies, and creates free-radicals when exposed to the sun which are harmful. It is associated with photoallergic reactions and absorbs through the skin in significant amounts. It is unfortunate that the product claims to "protect" when it uses a harmful chemical rather than a natural mineral sunscreen such as zinc oxide. Back to the drawing board!

  Good, not great

  Review by Mark on June 8, 2012

  Not quite moisturizing enough for me, even with a gentle cleanser. Had to use another moisturizer with it - not ideal as I'd prefer fewer products not more. Also not a huge fan of the oxybenzone sunscreen ingredient as it's been the subject of some not so hot health concerns of late. Smells great though and lasts a long time.

  Outstanding moisturizer

  Review by Brennan on May 26, 2012

  It has a slight herbal scent that quickly dissipates upon applying. It dries quickly, has a light body, but is not too greasy for southern US summers. If you're trying it out for the first time, the travel size lasted about a month; however my application area included my whole head (shaved bald). Overall, Urth Skincare balm is a great product and good addition to a modern man's skincare routine.

  Best I've used so far

  Review by Jerry on April 2, 2012

  It's been very difficult for me to find a face moisturizer that I like using. Most go on heavy and feel very oily. This face balm is completely different. It is a light product unless you put too much on like I did my first time using it. A little goes a long way, so don't overdo it. It also doesn't give you that greasy feeling after it is on so this looks to be a keeper for me.

  The ONLY vitamins i take

  Review by Mike DC on January 27, 2012

  really impressed with this moisturizer. just a little goes a long way. I look forward to applying it to my face after every wash. Most lotions make my face oil up at the end of the day but i cant say the same about Urths product. I have the travel size product, but have no problem paying the extra cash to upgrade the big bottle. thanks motley

  SPF, No oily mess, great result

  Review by SPF, No oily mess, great result on September 11, 2011

  I have been using this product for over a month now. It is unscented and not oily at all. I use it for day and night. I have noticed an improvement in my skin, mostly my pores are smaller and less acne, redness. Plus, it has SPF 15 which is great!

  High price, but worth it

  Review by Louie on September 11, 2011

  The whitening of your face (from SPF) at first is a bit like applying sunscreen, but then it goes away and is the best moisturizer I've used. No breakouts since.

  Pricey, but the best I have used

  Review by MG on September 11, 2011

  I'm over thirty, and have been waiting a long time to kick the skin problems I suffered in high school. With this I am well on my way. Smaller pores, and much less dryness, redness and oil. Healthier looking all over. Works a treat after a Nippon Kodo Soap Bar in the mornings too.

  Expensive Moisturizer

  Review by Flipopapotamus on September 11, 2011

  Great moisturizer. I can't compare it to any other product since it's my first time using one on my skin. It's not thick which is awesome but it seems rather expensive for what it does.
