Wendyl's: Baby Balm (80g)
Baby Balm" For Baby and your Face.
When we soft launched this product we had great feedback from Mums saying it
cleared up eczema type rashes and nappy rash in just two days, and from other
women saying they used it as a soothing nipple cream with great results. Many of
our new mums have said they get really confused when trying to work out what is
best to put on their baby’s bottom between nappy changes because many of the
creams available have parabens and other chemicals which can often aggravate the
sensitive skin on a baby’s bottom.
So we worked with Tricia Curtis who has been making balms for twenty years using
plants grown on her farmlet in Puhoi or in native bush. I love her philosophy,
which is that every time she mixes another batch of ointment:”I am conscious
that I’m repeating a simple act that has been played out over the millennia by
people in all cultures. It is a simple, time-honoured process of putting the
healing essences of everyday plants cultivated in my garden or gathered from our
regenerating native bush into a readily usable form.”
The baby balm Tricia has made for us is a rich cream using the purest
ingredients to soothe and protect your baby’s skin. But you can also use it
as an amazing lip balm, which is how I have been using it, and also as a deep
moisturiser for your face.
