Key ingredients

Eucalyptus Essential Oil — Eucalyptus brings the instantly recognisable crisp aroma we associate with traditional vapour preparations, giving the blend its fresh, clearing character.

Peppermint Essential Oil — Peppermint owes its characteristic cooling sensation largely to menthol. Breathed in as part of the aromatic blend, it adds an intense burst of freshness.

Clove Bud Essential Oil — Clove bud is naturally high in eugenol, the compound responsible for much of its unmistakable spicy aroma. It adds warmth and depth alongside the cooler eucalyptus and peppermint.

30-Day Happy Skin PromiseRefund or store credit on full sizes

Trying new skincare takes a little trust, especially when your skin has been unpredictable. So here's our Happy Skin Promise in return: if a full-size product isn't right for you or your skin, you have 30 days from delivery to send it back for a refund or store credit, whichever you'd prefer.

How it works

  1. Email us at customersupport@huskandseedskincare.co.uk within 30 days of your order arriving, with your order number and a quick note on how you got on. We'll reply with everything you need.
  2. Post the product back to us with at least 80% left in the jar or bottle. A couple of weeks is plenty of time to know how your skin feels about something.
  3. If a free gift came with your order, pop it in the parcel too, otherwise its value may come off your refund.
  4. Return postage is paid by you, so we'd recommend a tracked service.
  5. Once it reaches our studio in Kent, we'll refund what you paid (minus the original delivery charge) or give you store credit instead.

Great smell, cleared my nose when it needed it and just great to know that it’s clean and not toxic, would definitely recommend

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Customer photo review of Decongestant Vapour Balm

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!

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Had a headache so put a tiny amount of balm around nose and head, really did help ease it!

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Wonderful fresh aroma, hope it helps whenever I catch a winter cold

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Such a lovely balm it actually makes me sleepy when I apply it to my skin after a shower its helped with congestion as I suffer with my sinuses and I'm always congested brilliant product will purchase again also love that a small amount goes along way

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Such a great choice over VapourRub as safe and natural for the same benefits and even more!

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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!

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Love this decongestant vapour balm. I've been using with the decongestant rollerball Helps with my breathing

Decongestant Vapour Balm

A very useful balm now winter has arrived! Have been using as a decongestant for cough, feels protective too! Nice smelling and lovely natural products,

Decongestant Vapour Balm

None greasy easily absorbed and gentle but works wonderfully well. A good night’s rest was had.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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!

Decongestant Vapour Balm

This is fabulous!! It is a lovely subtle aroma and really decongests me. Highly recommended.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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. ❤️

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Recieved this as a sample with my order , and it did not disappoint I use it at night I find it helps with breathing and the vapour smell is not to intense.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Absolutely brilliant!!! I have suffered with allergies and bad sinuses for years. This decongestant enabled me to breath instantly and I can smell again! I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you ladies for yet another amazing product ❤️

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Recieved this as a freebie with my order. I am sure it will be great if I'm suffering with a cold. Smells lovely.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Yet another absolutely fantastic product from Husk and Seed. I suffer with allergies and I often have congested sinuses but now I can breath!! Thank you ladies. All of your products are just the best and I am so looking forward to getting the SPF this summer.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Lovely balm . Best one for me . Husk and Seed is all I need . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everytime !

Decongestant Vapour Balm

Arrived at just the right moment as was struck down with a nasty dry cough and congestion. Worked a treat!

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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.

Decongestant Vapour Balm

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.
