Design Essentials Coconut & Monoi Deep Moisture Balm (Review & Giveaway!)

I was recently asked to review Design Essential's Coconut and Monoi Deep Moisture Balm, to which I replied yes!
I was surprised when I discovered the product I was reviewing was created to be used on both hair and body. I have always used separate products for my hair and skin, the thought of one product all over seemed a little too good to be true. However, I was willing to put the Deep Moisture Balm to the test having already tried and loved the Milk Soufflé, Oil Treatment, and not forgetting the Deep Moisture Masque from the ​Coconut and Monoi range.
I wanted to see if the balm lived up to the high standards the other products met.
As always, before I receive a product I always do a little research. I found that the Deep Moisture Balm is a 10-in-1, preservative-free blend featuring Shea Butter and ten of the most exotic and efficacious oils for repair, strength and shine. It is infused with Marula Oil and Moringa Oil, its lightweight, a highly moisturising balm and can be used as a daily hydrator for hair, scalp skin and body.
Just like the rest of the Coconut and Monoi products the ingredients for the balm contain:
  • NO PARABENS
  • NO PARAFFINS
  • NO PETROLATUM
  • NO GLUTEN
  • NO PHTHALATES
  • NO DEA
  • NO TEA

At this point I was really excited and couldn't wait for the balm to arrive. So once I received the Deep Moisture Balm, the first thing I noticed was the consistent sweet coconut scent just like all the products from the Coconut and Monoi line. The balm is white in colour and has a very thick solid consistency which softens and melts as soon as it touches the warmth of your hand. It kind of reminded me of a shea butter and coconut mix but with extra added nutrients!

The directions for use state to first rub a small amount into your hands for even distribution. Then apply to wet or dry skin and hair. To specially target dry areas including hair ends, feet, and hands.

I decided to first try the Deep Moisture Balm as a moisturiser on dry hair. I rubbed a small amount into my hands and evenly distributed the balm throughout my hair from root to tip. I then gave my scalp a little massage and could feel my hair absorbing all the moisture and oils. It left my hair feeling really moisturised without the weighed down greasy feeling. When I woke up the next day I was really surprised when I didn’t need to add more product to my hair. My hair still felt very soft, hydrated and had lots of shine.
For my skin, I emulsified the product in my hands until it melted and gently smoothed the balm onto my skin. I didn’t need to use too much as a little did go a long way. After a long day out and about, my skin continued to feel hydrated and soft throughout the day, especially my hands which were exposed to the harsh London cold.

Overall I feel the Deep Moisture Balm is a great product which delivers its promises to hydrate and moisturise both hair and skin. As someone who travels often, I found the Deep Moisture Balm is a brilliant multitasker. It can be a space saver and great to take with you on long journeys or flights to help prevent dry hair and skin. What I like about this product is that it can be used on both damp and dry hair, is a heat protectant, combats frizz, gives amazing shine, hydrates and softens skin.
