Baby Balm

Gentle everyday protection for delicate baby skin

Little skin doesn't need a long list of ingredients.

Our Baby Balm is a simple, waterless formula made with just five carefully chosen ingredients to help protect delicate skin from moisture, dryness and everyday irritation.

Olive oil and organic shea butter nourish and soften, while zinc oxide and candelilla wax create a gentle protective layer over the skin. Vitamin E adds conditioning support.

No fragrance. No essential oils. No synthetic preservatives. Just uncomplicated care for sensitive little skin.

Why it works

• Protects delicate skin — Zinc oxide sits on the surface of the skin, helping to create a physical barrier against moisture and everyday irritants.
• Nourishes and softens — Olive oil and organic shea butter help keep dry, sensitive skin soft and comfortable.
• Helps lock in moisture — Candelilla wax forms a light protective layer that helps reduce moisture loss.
• Simple five-ingredient formula — Every ingredient has a purpose, with no fillers or unnecessary extras.
• Fragrance and essential oil free — Made without added fragrance or essential oils for gentle, uncomplicated care.
• Waterless and preservative free — With no added water, the formula does not require the synthetic preservatives commonly used in creams and lotions.

How to use

Warm a small amount between clean fingertips and gently apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin.

Use wherever baby's skin needs a little extra protection or nourishment, particularly the nappy area and other areas exposed to moisture, friction or dryness. It is designed for everyday barrier care where skin may be prone to nappy rash. Reapply as needed.

For external use only. Avoid the eye area and always patch test before first use.

Ingredients

Olea europaea (Olive Oil), Zinc Oxide, Butyrospermum parkii (Organic Shea Butter), Euphorbia cerifera (Candelilla Wax), Tocopherol (Vitamin E).

The Skin Botanist commitment

Handcrafted in Australia in small batches using thoughtfully selected natural ingredients.

Baby Balm contains no added water, fragrance, essential oils, synthetic preservatives or fillers — just five ingredients chosen to nourish, protect and support delicate skin.

Botanist note

Baby skin has a more delicate barrier than adult skin, so sometimes less really is more.

Rather than loading this balm with extracts, fragrance or unnecessary actives, we've kept the formula deliberately simple. It supports the skin's natural barrier and provides a protective layer between sensitive skin and everyday sources of moisture and friction.

Frequently asked questions

What is Baby Balm designed for?
Baby Balm is an everyday protective balm for delicate, dry or sensitive skin. Use it on areas that need additional nourishment or a protective layer against moisture and friction.

Can I use it around the nappy area or on skin prone to nappy rash?
Yes. Zinc oxide and plant-based wax help create a protective layer between delicate skin and moisture. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin as required. This is everyday protective care rather than a treatment for nappy rash. If irritation persists, seek advice from your healthcare professional.

Why does it contain zinc oxide?
Zinc oxide is a mineral ingredient that remains largely on the surface of the skin. In this balm, it helps form a physical barrier against moisture and external irritants.

Why is Baby Balm fragrance free?
Babies don't need fragrance in their skincare. We've left out added fragrance and essential oils so the formula stays as simple and gentle as possible.

Why is it waterless?
Most conventional baby creams contain water, which usually requires emulsifiers and preservatives to keep the formula stable. Our balm has no added water, so every ingredient has a functional role in nourishing or protecting the skin.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
It has been formulated with simplicity and sensitive skin in mind, using only five ingredients and no added fragrance or essential oils. Because every baby's skin is different, we recommend patch testing before first use.

Does it contain petroleum jelly or mineral oil?
No. The protective base is made with olive oil, organic shea butter and candelilla wax, together with zinc oxide and vitamin E.

Is it vegan?
Yes. Baby Balm uses candelilla wax rather than beeswax and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Is it made in Australia?
Yes. Every batch is handcrafted in small quantities in Australia.
