Decongestant Vapour Balm
"None greasy easily absorbed and gentle but works wonderfully well. A good night’s rest was had." —Janet L.
Fresh, Clearing AromaGentle on SkinNon-GreasyBedtime Comfort
Meet a gentler vapour balm. Crisp eucalyptus, cooling peppermint and warm clove fill the air with a fresh, clearing aroma.
Eucalyptus, peppermint, clove bud, tea tree and rosemary create a crisp, invigorating blend, while nourishing plant butters keep it gentle on the skin and never greasy.
A gentler take on the traditional vapour rub. Perfect for cough and cold season. Suitable for adults.
Unwind your mind. A few slow, deep breaths of eucalyptus and peppermint to settle you for the night.
Not suitable in pregnancy.
Warm a little between your fingers and breathe in first — slowly, a few times. Then smooth onto chest, back and just under the nose. Last, the soles of the feet, with a pair of socks over the top.

What makes these rollerballs special?
Each blend is thoughtfully created to support specific moods and needs — from a calmer pause and an afternoon reset to a bedtime wind-down or a fresh, clearing aroma. They’re 100% natural, free from preservatives, and handcrafted in small batches for maximum freshness and potency.
How do I use them?
Apply to pulse points such as wrists, temples, behind the ears, or the back of the neck. Inhale deeply to allow the natural aromas to work their magic. Use anytime you need grounding, clarity, or calm.
Are they safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — our formulations use gentle coconut oil and Vitamin E as the base, making them suitable for most skin types. As with all essential oil blends, perform a patch test before use if you have particularly sensitive skin.
Can I use them during pregnancy?
The Revive, Unwind and Breathe blends are not suitable for use in pregnancy due to their essential oil content. The Calm blend is the gentlest option but should still be used with care — please check with your healthcare professional first.

Good product and service.

Great smell, cleared my nose when it needed it and just great to know that it’s clean and not toxic, would definitely recommend
Dawn 5/5 Verified
Good decongestant I use it daily.
Elaine 5/5 Verified
This balm is just what I was looking for, and better! I really struggled with block and dry noise during the winter months. This balm has a super smooth texture and the scent really helps unblocking my noise. It smells so good that it is almost a bit addictive. Highly recommend to anyone!
Clare 5/5 Verified
Had a headache so put a tiny amount of balm around nose and head, really did help ease it!
Sonia 5/5 Verified
Wonderful fresh aroma, hope it helps whenever I catch a winter cold
E 5/5 Verified
I used up the remainder of my previous jar of decongestant balm during a recent nasty cold and loved it so much that I had to replace it immediately. It has such a comforting smell and it’s free of any nasty ingredients so I’m happy to apply it liberally, including on the soles of my feet, which was very effective. Also helpful to apply around the nostril and under the nose and it doesn’t burn like some of the better known high street vapour rubs.

Lovely smelling decongestant, great for my hayfever!
Melissa 5/5 Verified
Gorgeous smell and works wonders to soothe and clear airways. I rub a little on wrists, chest and under nose before sleeping when feeling congested.

Paula 5/5 Verified
Such a great choice over VapourRub as safe and natural for the same benefits and even more!
Lorena 5/5 Verified
I have used the decongestion balm for a few nights now as my nose is always congested. I have honestly had the best nights sleep in what seems like a few years now. I have tried many products but this one has made such a difference, I would 100% recommend. Thank you so much!
Anne 5/5
Not sure how you add a photo of decongesting with this balm ... it is lovely. It smells good - and I have limited smell! And, it feels good. Haven't had a big congestion for a while so cannot say it works miracles.
Andrea 5/5 Verified
Over the holiday period I had an awful chesty cough and cold. For several weeks my nose became dryer and redder so I tried the decongestant balm to see if it would help. I smothered it over my sore nose and it instantly calmed my skin without stinging in the slightest. The gentle mix of oils helped ease my breathing at night so I was able to sleep a little better. What a lifesaver it is when you are feeling under the weather or even have a little bit of a sniffle.

My husband has problems with blocked nasal passages. He has used this decongestant now for 2 months and cannot believe the difference in his breathing with no side effects unlike other decongestant balms. Highly recommend
Jude 5/5 Verified
Wonderful balm to help with my bad sinuses. Had problems for years. This balm definitely helps me. Lovely stuff with pleasant fragrance Thank you ladies for making this
Jpy 5/5 Verified
Absolutely loving it, it helps my son for blocked nose and I apply on my chest as well just to give myself that extra layer of support from all the bad germs floating around when people sneezing. Thank you for a lovely product!
Agne Artair 5/5 Verified
This is fabulous!! It is a lovely subtle aroma and really decongests me. Highly recommended.
Janet Mcnulty 5/5 Verified
I love this balm! It is gentle yet comforting when I am feeling congested. You only need a small amount and I find rubbing a little on my chest at bedtime is helpful if I am feeling congested in any way. I also use it as a barrier around my nose to help with hayfever symptoms. The balm is also incredibly moisturising and so helps keep the area from becoming dry and sore when I am blowing my nose more than normal. I also use it on the bottom of my feet on occasion at the end of the day when I am tired. It is a lovely balm that provides gentle self care. I will definitely be purchasing again and would heartily recommend. I am so happy to have discovered husk & seed. ❤️

Arrived at just the right moment as was struck down with a nasty dry cough and congestion. Worked a treat!
Deborah 5/5 Verified
Excellent product
Anne 5/5 Verified
Very soothing balm which really helps congestion. I have taken off one star as the product isn’t very portable - I think the roll on version would be more useful
Mary 4/5 Verified
I wanted to try this to see if it would help with congestion due to hay-fever. Just started using it and have my fingers crossed for a good outcome! It does smell good though and definitely helps with nasal congestion
Jan 4/5 Verified
Really good. Had a cold and really helped. Short lived, that's why it hasn't got 5 stars, but perhaps that's not possible.
Janet 4/5 Verified
As I haven't yet used this product i cant comment fully. But I like the smell, it has a strong eucalyptus scent which I need/like due to my lack of smell. The texture is smooth too. I cant comment yet on how it works for me. I bought in advance ready for those cold days when I get bunged up.
