Flavor of elixir balm?

Post by packgal » Tue Oct 29, 2013 11:26 am

What is the flavor of the GWP balm elixir that was offered a few weeks back when the fall collection was released? It says it contains minty oils but it isn't mint flavored to me. Thanks!

That is so weird that you posted this because not 2 days ago I went to put it on and I looked at the ingredient list because my daughter asked me what flavor it was and the ingredients listed peppermint and spearmint!

It's a fruity taste/smell to me. I'm thinking pomegranite(sp?) or cranberry? But definitely not what is listed in the ingredient list.

It's too bad because I would've LOVED it to have spearmint and peppermint.

I thought I remembered something along the lines of blackberry pomegranite being listed as the gwp that week. I personally love the flavor, but never looked at the ingredients, so I wasn't expecting mint!

It's definitely fruity to me too. So confused :) hoping Karen or Jen can help us out! I'm not a huge mint fan for balms so I love it, just wanting to know what it is!

Well shoot...it was a misprint on the mint. I used the mint balm label as a template, and didn't double check the ingredients. It's a blackberry pomegranate.
