Lyonsleaf, Calendula and Marshmallow Balm
“I loved using this product it is the sort of pot you leave in the bathroom cabinet and reach for when some skin complaint comes up with one of the family and you are not sure what to put on it. It is known as mummy’s magic cream in our family. During testing alone we trialed this on: cuticles, sore toe, itchy bite, ezcema patches (mine and my four-year-old’s), a burn from a slide, nettle rash, unexplained rash and very dry backs of hands. It does everything you need from it — soothes and moisturises and hydrates sore skin. It keeps delivering and is still in the bathroom in constant use and I expect it to be that way until it’s used up. I love that this product is safe and useful for all the family. I always waver before giving a 10/10 but sometimes something is perfect and deserves it — and this certainly is!”
“It’s great for clearing up dry patches on my toddler’s skin. She had a bout of hand, foot and mouth and it helped the spots clear up faster without irriating them; the fact that it hasn’t got a fragrance is great it means we can use it any time of the day without worry. It also works well if she gets rashes. On my feet it made my dry heels soften. It helped soften my husband’s elbows and knees and it took away the darkness on his hands; the skin isn’t cracking any longer. Great on my feet too: I have dry heels and it has softened them. Basically, it delivers on its promises. It works on all areas of the body from head to toe: a fantastic product that works on different people with differing skin types.”

“First off I started using this instead of nappy cream for my one year old. It’s easy to dispense from the bottle and one pump gives you a good amount for around the bottom and thighs. Baby was happy to have it applied and smiled while it was being massaged in. Seemed soothing and instantly gave a softness to the skin. It absorbed well but still leaving a ‘barrier’ layer for protection against soreness or chaffing. After baths we would do whole body massages with it and it was such a lovely time as both baby and I enjoyed the feeling of how soft and silky it made skin. It was great too for my older daughter who is four, as she wanted to join in helping me with baby. After a month of testing I would give this oil a big thumbs up! It relieved redness and gave brilliant protection against nappy rash and heat rash. As a massage oil it was a delight to use; rejuvenating and maintaining baby’s soft skin.”

Belicious Natural Products, Calendula Baby Balm
“Very rich and oily and deeply moisturising balm … so easy to apply. Solid in the pot but melts as you apply it and you don’t need to really work it into the skin. In fact, my daughters liked to apply it themselves. My older daughter struggles with dry and sensitive skin whereas my younger one has no problems at all, but I like to use a good moisturiser on her to keep the skin protected and in good condition. I straight away noticed a change to younger daughter’s skin. The morning after applying the balm for the first time her skin felt so soft and nourished. My older daughter has dry skin and I have been applying it to her hands frequently and we’re beginning to see an improvement; I also applied it to her hands to protect them from the harsh soap used at her school. A highly effective balm”

“My daughter and I enjoyed using this product and we used it as a replacement for a normal body emollient that we get from the doctor. The balm when melted was so creamy, it glided onto the skin with ease, leaving our skin hydrated, supple, smooth, comfortable, less tight, less irritated; itchy raised red patches, dermatitis and eczema felt less angry and sore. I noticed after using this for some time that my skin seemed more stronger, more resilient. I continued to use this product of an evening after a bath as it just didn’t feel the same without it. My daughter loved the way it felt also on her skin and when we used this we stopped using our normal emollient from the doctors. A great family and self care product.”

“Beautifully refreshing fragrance — my daughter said it smelled like a fruit shop and that she could eat it! Worked wonders to soften the skin of dry heels. Stopped itching on flaky and itchy skin between fingers. Worked superbly on sun exposure rash — almost disappeared after two or three uses. Didn’t aggravate daughter’s eczema-prone skin. Soothed and settled mosquito bites on children and me. Worked better than I expected as a cleanser. Was a good lip product. Great as a post-shaving, soothing balm. I liked the versatility of this balm. It made me happy. It’s uplifting!”
