Formulated with excellent clean ingredients. This product contains almond and wheat. If you have a baby/child with a high risk of food allergy or eczema, it is not recommended to use this product until they are eating these foods in their diet and show no allergy. Studies have shown a link between the repeated application of potential food allergens onto the skin and food allergen sensitisation. This may increase the risk of food allergy in susceptible children, particularly those with eczema.

Product Reviews by Experts


This is a beautiful nourishing balm that feels incredibly gentle on delicate baby skin. I found it worked really well for soothing mild redness and irritation while helping support and protect sensitive skin during everyday nappy changes. The formula feels rich and calming and I love the minimal and natural ingredients used. A lovely option for keeping little bottoms protected particularly when used consistently at the first signs of irritation. I really value the transparency and intentionality behind this brand and the obvious care taken across both formulation and the wider business practices. From thoughtful ingredient sourcing and local New Zealand manufacturing, to responsible packaging choices using recycled materials and a strong commitment to transparency, there is clear integrity behind the brand. I also love seeing a founder-led business that has grown from genuine lived experience while continuing to support families through community partnerships and collaborations centred around family wellbeing. A brand making thoughtful choices while staying deeply connected to the community it serves.


From the very first application, I was impressed by this product. It was easy to use, glided effortlessly onto the skin, and only a small amount was needed when applying to the body to provide great coverage, leaving the skin well hydrated without feeling greasy. I found it worked really well on nappy rashes. It’s a product that feels gentle and effective – I would happily continue using it. What impressed me most about this brand is its transparency and openness around its ingredients and formulations. As a parent, being able to clearly understand what I’m putting on my baby’s skin is incredibly important, and that level of transparency allows families to make informed decisions with confidence. I also appreciate the brand’s clear commitment to quality, displaying that careful formulation and honest communication are just as important as creating a product that works really well.


The balm feels nourishing and versatile, with calming botanical ingredients that support irritated skin.
