Jones Road Miracle Balm Review: Micraculous or Not?

Read our Editorial Guidelines to learn more about what makes our site the premier resource for online health information.

Miracle Balm is a facial balm sold by cosmetics company Jones Road. This balm comes in a wide range of shades, and the company describes it as “a wash of soft-focus moisture to perfect and enhance skin.”

But does Miracle Balm contain research-backed ingredients for improving skin appearance, or is this just a marketing claim? Does it contain any potentially unhealthy ingredients? How do real users rate and describe the effects of this product? And which retailer sells it for the best price?

In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more, as we analyze the ingredients in Miracle Balm based on medical studies to give our take on whether it’s likely to be effective for enhancing skin quality, or if it’s a waste of money.

We’ll highlight some questionable additive ingredients, feature unsponsored customer reviews and provide a cost comparison to show which retailer sells Miracle Balm for the best price.

Ingredient Analysis

Jones Road Miracle Balm ingredients

The ingredients in Jones Road Miracle Balm are shown above.

There are a number of research-backed ingredients for improving skin quality.

Castor oil may have naturally exfoliating effects according to a clinical trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology.

Beeswax is clinically shown to have antimicrobial properties, as we documented in our Neutrogena Hydro Boost reviews article. This suggests it can be effective against acne.

Argan oil has an anti-aging effect when applied topically, and increases skin elasticity according to a clinical trial published in the Clinical Interventions in Aging journal.

Ginger oil has skin-protective effects according to a 2022 clinical trial.

Jojoba oil is clinically shown to enhance skin hydration status.

There are other active ingredients in this balm that have research backing, but for the sake of brevity, we will conclude here by saying that from an effectiveness standpoint, Miracle Balm is very well formulated.

We consider Jones Road Miracle Balm likely to enhance skin quality, skin hydration and to have an anti-aging effect.

However, there are also some inactive ingredients in this balm that may be questionable from a health perspective.

Red 28 is a synthetic dye, and a 2015 medical review documents how artificial dyes can be absorbed through the skin and may have harmful effects in the body.

Tin oxide was shown in a 2018 clinical trial to have a toxic effect on human cancer cells, although this was a test tube study which is a weaker standard of evidence than a human study.

Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic preservative that’s been shown in one clinical trial as being toxic to human cells, as we documented in our review of CeraVe Vitamin C Serum.

We do not currently recommend Jones Road Miracle Balm due to the inclusion of these inactive ingredients.

But how do real people rate and describe the effects of the product? We’ll feature some unsponsored user reviews in the next section of this article.

Interested consumers can check out Annie Mak Vitamin C Serum at this link to the product page on the official brand's website.

Hydraglow is our top moisturizer pick. It features bakuchiol as an active ingredient which was described in a 2014 clinical trial as "clinically proven to have anti-aging effects."

Interested consumers can check out HydraGlow at this link to the product page on the official brand's website.

The only oral supplement we recommend for skin quality improvement is Bulletproof Collagen Powder.

Oral collagen supplementation was shown in a medical review published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology to improve visible signs of skin aging as well as improve skin elasticity and skin hydration.

The top positive review from a verified purchaser comes from a user named "Emily Whitley" who gives the product a 5/5 star rating and claims it's a good choice for mature skin:

The top negative review from a verified purchaser is written by a user named "cyril thomas bastian" who gives the product a 1/5 star rating and dislikes its texture:

"I was looking forward to this product, but I am so disappointed. I was hoping I could wear it with a little mascara instead of a full face of makeup. It is greasy and made my face itch. It has no real coverage or glow as advertised. Find another product and save your money."

Conclusion

Jones Road Miracle Balm is impressive from an efficacy perspective, but unimpressive from an additive ingredient perspective in our opinion.

This balm does contain a wide range of research-backed active ingredients that have been shown to improve skin hydration, have an anti-aging effect and support skin barrier repair.

However, Miracle Balm also contains some ingredients clinically shown to have questionable health effects, including synthetic dye.
