Rosebud Salve Tin, .8 Ounce

After trying Smith's Rosebud Salve (don't be fooled by similar-looking tins from C.O. Bigelow! They are vastly different products!) I am NEVER going back to lip balms and what you will. I've been steadily chipping away at my tin of Rosebud Salve for a little over a year now and there's still so much left to go. This thing packs a punch while still being gentle and delicate. The smell is super delicate and fragrant without smelling like your old relatives' perfume. The balm doesn't feel greasy to the touch when applied and my lips feel so soft and moisturized afterwards! And they STAY soft and moisturized for hours! I've never used a lip balm that didn't irritate my lips or make me break out in hives altogether until Smith's. The best part is that, this little tin is not just balm but a salve and it is a godsend for small scratches, dry cuticles, and all around moisture in a pinch. I cannot recommend this product enough. In fact, I still have half a tin left to go (so maybe another year's worth of use) and I'm already committed to buying a couple more tins so that I never have to go without it.

****YOU REALLY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CUT OPEN TIN TO OPEN PRODUCT. I HAVE BEEN OPENING IT SINCE I WAS 5 y.o. Twist and pull top off at same time. If tin is oily on outside wash tin with detergent (while closed) with warm water to be able to twist and turn after towel drying it. . **** if arrives melted bc of heat in summer just place tin on candle warmer to melt it in tin then let sit and cool. I love my rosebud salve. I am so happy to have some Rosebud Salve. My grandmother use to order this out of the TV guide or Guiding post magazine when I was a kid. She ordered a box at a time with probably 6 tins at a time. She always had a can some where near her body. I didn't even know it still existed. She used it ALL the time on lips, hands, face, arms, or legs and us grand kids. Chapped lips, diaper rash and all things in between. On cuts, scrapes or insect bites. She was born in 1901 and I know she used it most of her life. I have spoken of it often over the years and no one ever knew what I was talking about. Then I searched it and my heart filled with joy and fond memories. I LOVE IT!!!!. It is not hard to open just twist and turn at the same time. Buy this product it is thinner than vaseline and YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I will be ordering more to give as gifts now I know this gem still exist. Dry hands and lips no more. It is safe to use around the eyes also. Give it a try. I remember it use to be very cheap and I see it now has a "cult" type following so the price has increased but the product is good and American made.

Perfect salve and work great. Smells good. Used since 1970

I am reviewing this as MRS. Joe Guy. This lip balm is AMAZING! It glides on and gives the lips a feeling of being instantly moisturized. Even more wonderful is the fact that the product LASTS for much longer than many other lip balm products I've tried and failed. There is only a suggestion of a rose scent which is pleasant. There is no taste and product gives the lips sheen and a tiny bit of color. THE ONLY CON is the lid. It's stuck on tight and I can't believe a product for women would have packaging that's super hard to open. For ease of use, once you get the lid off with a strong thumbnail or the edge of a screwdriver, close the lid LIGHTLY but not fully pressed down or you'll end up being frustrated next time you want to dab on a bit of Rosebud. ((Hope the manufacturer gets the hint and uses a modified snap on top or screw on lid.))

Originally I bought this hoping it would be a dupe for my favorite, yet expensive, lip balm: Christian Dior Creme de Rose. The smell of this product is lovely, and very similar to CdR, but the texture was a little less luxurious. As far as lip balms go, its ok; I like it much more than the over hyped Nivea lip butters, but not as much as Nivea milk and honey, and certainly not as much as CdR. On whim, I decided to rub this on my dry, cracked knuckles and it felt amazing! Within an hour the pain was gone. I've also tried this on my cuticles, as my hands in general have been rough this winter, and it was also great for that! After a cold, I suffered from a very irritated nose from all the tissues; I rubbed this around the area, and it soothed the irritation without making me break out, unlike pain old Vaseline. Will definitely repurchase, but not really for use on my lips. P.s. I've also sent the poor tin through the washer and dryer a couple times; its melted of course, but still the same texture, and totally usable! haha

As a child my Momma would say, “Let’s put a little Rosebud Salve on it and it’ll get well.” I realized later it was my Momma’s love that enhanced the healing process. I love the fragrance and how this salve provides a moisture barrier for minor scrapes. It is great as a lip balm, too. I buy it in the tin and also in the little tubes for my lips. Precious memories are invoked from looking at the tin and from the fragrance!

I love this little tin of lip salve! I am definitely going to rebuy in the future, once I run out. Here is why: first, it is excellent at softening lips. I am someone who pretty much constantly has chapped lips, and I have always been this way. I didn’t expect this product to solve the problem, but it did! My lips are smoother and less chapped than they have been in months. Second, the smell is wonderful. Third, unlike others, I have not encountered any problems with the tin, which I find easy to open. And finally, the product was larger than I expected. I thought it would be about the size of a Burt’s Bees salve, which I have tried in the past, but it is larger and will last me longer. Still, it is small enough to keep in a pocket or purse. Also, the price is fantastic. Will definitely buy again.

This product is very good and is multi-functional. But the most annoying part of using this product is to open the tin. If it had a screw cap, would be much easier and practical to use. Brand pls do something about the packaging to ease customer use.

L’ho usato anni fa negli Stati Uniti e l’ho ritrovato. Mi piace per il post manicure, per i talloni screpolati, ottimo profumo

Es un bálsamo muy rico, humectante y para nada pegajoso. Si cuesta un poco abrir la lata en la que viene empaquetado pero no es para tanto. Tiene un lindo olor a rosas y da brillo a los labios.

Sehr guter Lippenbalsam

It's a very nice lip balm and also a multi purpose balm. Have used this over years but was not available in India. Only when family or friends travelled to US they used to get it. But since it's now available on Amazon bought it. Good seller and product is hopefully original. A must try. Would surely buy more.
