What skin conditions can this balm help with?

Soothing Balm is ideal for soothing and repairing skin affected by conditions such as eczema, rosacea, dry patches, sunburn, acne, dermatitis and psoriasis. It can work as an amazing nappy balm, as well as body moisturiser for babies. Its anti-inflammatory and healing ingredients help reduce irritation, redness, and promote skin regeneration.

Is this balm suitable for use on children or babies?

This is a really special product. I was a bit dubious about using lard even though I’m a long term tallow user.
The scent is gorgeous, a perfect mild chamomile infusion, the texture is amazing, a super fine, light balm, not greasy but stays on my face all night.
Finally, the results. After only a week of use I find my face and hands are softer with the first hints of Melbourne autumn dryness stopped in its tracks. I had some chaffing around my lips from a sunny afternoon and being out in the cool evening, a nice extra layer of lard balm remedied it overnight, I woke up this morning with the medium grade irritation fully healed. I am very hally to recommend this product, it is surprisingly effective and just gorgeous to use as part of my self care routine.

A staple in our household

The soothing lard balm is a must have for us. From using it on cuts and bites, to nappy rash or at the moment helping to clear up my pregnancy perioral dermatitis! So so velvety soft and smells amazing.

I love this balm, have repurchased many times. So nourishing and I really love using it for facial massage with a gua sha!

Lovely moisturiser

Mild chamomile smell, and so velvety soft against the skin. Only a tiny amount required, too. I usually use tallow but I think I prefer this!

Very Soothing

Really nice balm and scent. I used it on my sunburn and it calmed the burning straight away. Also used on psoriasis on my hairline and the next morning it was normal. I’m alternating this on my face too. I can’t decide which is my favourite for my face yet. They are all great!
