I bought 6 different 12x50ml, and I’m honestly in love! The balms are soft and easy to apply on the skin, not harsh, not hard, calms and soothes the skin, the whips I was a bit apprehensive, I thought they’d be quite airy, but I was totally wrong, very compacted while still holding the whip texture, a little goes a long way. I really can’t recommend this company, its products and its service enough. They’ll be a permanent in my studio for sure.

You've changed the formula of the original balm, now it smells like horse! Why did you mess with a perfect product?
Hi Megan, neigh, we haven't changed anything! We're not horsing around here. If you're having a mare, let's get this sorted for you. We'd love to get the balm back to the farm so we can test this mysterious equestrian fragrance.
The mane thing here is that you're happy with the product. Please reach out to sales@kanzocare.com and we'll happily swap it for you.

I've been using Kanzo's products for just over a year now, and would never use anything else, the texture of the balms is perfect for using during the tattoo process and as aftercare. It melts on the skin too which makes a little go a long way!
Had to try out the vanilla scent as it's one i've not tried before and it is lovely, my clients are always saying how much they like the smell of my balms, soap and foams

Like they balm . A you don’t need much .
For a good cover an a nice layer on it

Amazing projects I’ve been using them for the last few months I can’t wait to try the rest of the range

What a waste!! Bought two tubs of this new stuff and genuinely want to send it back after trying.
Super disapointed with this new balm to replace the butterluxe original balm. We were told it was the same product - it was marketed as such - but there's some major differences. Firstly the consistency is firmer and more difficult to apply, the balm feels an awful lot drier than the butterluxe (I currently have a little of the butterluxe still left to compare it too). Secondly, I notice the balm doesn't make my tattoos 'pop' the same way the butterluxe did - that's really disheartening as will prevent me from using this balm after the healing stage is complete. Thirdly, the ingredients... The new balm is missing the hemp and calendula oil - two oils which are fantastic for healing process and skin rejuvenation. WHYYYY would you try to change something that was perfect? Why fix what ain't broken?! The missing ingredients could attribute to the aforementioned issues?
Lastly, the smell. Whilst not entirely unpleasant, it's not the same and definitely not as nice smelling as butterluxe was.
So please please add in the hemp and calendula oil again guys. And if not, discount the product because we're getting less for our money and it's now a shadow of what it once was.
Hi Vhairi,
We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with the balm, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Firstly, we'd like to reassure you that this isn't an entirely new balm. It's still produced by the same Butterluxe team, using the same production methods and with the same commitment to quality.
Regarding the consistency, we deliberately produce a slightly firmer balm during the warmer months to prevent melting during transit. As the weather gets colder, we adjust the consistency to make it softer and easier to apply.
As for the ingredients, hemp and calendula oils were removed some time ago to allow us to increase the Vitamin E oil content. Vitamin E is actually a considerably more expensive ingredient, so this certainly wasn't a cost-cutting exercise. In fact, the formulation costs us more to produce.
We completely understand that you've noticed differences, particularly as you've been using Butterluxe for some time, and we genuinely value that loyalty.
Please email us at **sales@kanzocare.com**, and we'll happily send you some fresh balms from this week's batch, free of charge. We're confident you'll find the softer consistency much closer to what you're used to.
Finally, we'd just like to reiterate that the same Butterluxe team remains responsible for all production. We're incredibly proud of the products we've created over the years, and that hasn't changed.
Hopefully, we can restore your confidence in our products and turn your experience around.
Thanks again for your feedback.

Absolutely love the Kanzo Pink Gum Tattoo Balm 💗 It applies so smoothly, feels lovely on the skin and a little goes a long way. The smell is amazing too such a gorgeous scent, Definitely a lovely addition to my tattoo aftercare routine. Would highly recommend✨
C
I bought the cocoa scented balm, which smells unscented. It's feels nice to apply, but that's about it. It brought my tattoo out in red blotches, which went away as soon as I switched to Palmers lotion which also moisturises much more effectively. I'm not allergic to anything, and have never had a reaction to anything in the past. Pretty disappointed.

due to it being a balm and not a liquid moisturiser, it is very hard to apply during the peeling stage causing them to be pulled off during application
