Description
The Olive Leaf Skin Care Baby Bum Balm is a heavy-duty, waterless barrier balm. Unlike standard lotions, a bum balm has a specific job: to form a protective layer between a baby’s delicate skin and the dampness and friction found inside a diaper. This formula achieves that by blending dense natural waxes and botanical extracts.
Who May Benefit
Suitable for parents and caregivers looking for a natural, barrier-style balm for use during nappy changes.
Composition
- Size: 100ml
- Ingredients: Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil, Refined and Organic Coconut Oil, Pure Beeswax, Castor Oil, Vitamin E, Propolis, Lanolin, Zinc Oxide, Pure Organic Essential Oils of Calendula and Chamomile
Scent & Texture
Smooth white balm with a light scent of chamomile.
Directions
- The Clean & Dry Rule: Always pat the skin completely dry with a clean cloth before application. Applying a thick barrier balm over skin that is still damp from a wipe or bath can trap moisture underneath.
- Warm It First: Because the formula is packed with beeswax and lanolin, it can feel firm in the tub when cool. Scoop out a small piece and rub it briefly between your fingertips — your natural body heat will melt it into a smooth, easily spreadable balm.
- Apply as a Protective Layer: Do not rub the balm aggressively into the skin. Instead, gently smooth a generous, visible layer over the nappy area, focusing on areas prone to friction and skin creases.
Key Ingredient Benefits
Zinc Oxide
- Forms a breathable, water-resistant coating over the skin, helping shield it from external moisture.
Beeswax & Lanolin
- Beeswax provides a long-lasting, water-resistant layer so the balm stays in place rather than rubbing off into the nappy.
- Lanolin closely mirrors the skin’s own lipid structure, helping trap existing moisture in while helping keep external dampness out.
Calendula & Chamomile Extracts
- Calendula is traditionally valued in skincare for its gentle, skin-comforting properties.
- Chamomile has a long history of use for its calming, soothing qualities on delicate skin.
Vitamin E
- An antioxidant that helps preserve the balm’s natural plant oils.
Olive Oil, Coconut Oil & Castor Oil
- Form the nourishing base of the balm, softening the heavier waxes and giving it a smooth, spreadable texture.
- Olive and castor oils help support the skin’s moisture; coconut oil adds a light, silky finish.
Care
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
- Keep out of reach of children.
