Review: B – Organic Soothing Balm

I was asked to via twitter to review this Soothing balm, it is suitable for eczema and as I’m not keen on the cream we have received from the doctor I was more than happy to try this.

100% Organic & Natural with no chemicals.

My first impression of the product was that the jar was quiet small and I couldn’t see it lasting very long. I applied a small test patch and there was no reaction so the following night I was able to apply a more liberal amount to my baby.

I’ve never used a balm on my children before, only creams and oils so I was interested to see how easy it was to apply as it is much thicker. I am pleased to say that I was pleasantly surprised, the balm rubbed in quickly and easily. The cream I have from the doctors takes a lot of massaging before it soaks into the skin, so this balm is perfect. It’s near impossible to try and massage cream into a baby that keeps trying to escape, so the fact this balm soaks into the skin with ease is a huge bonus.

Almost instantly you could feel the difference, his skin felt silky smooth without being greasy. I even applied some to myself because I liked how soft it made him feel.

I used the cream on him each evening after his bath and after three nights the two patches of eczema had vanished. It works much better than the cream I have been using and it’s much nicer to use. You don’t need to use a huge amount and as I am only applying to his driest areas it will last me a while.

One evening he was very sore in the creases of his legs and the only cream I had to hand was the balm, so I applied some. Popped his nappy on and put him to bed. The following morning he wasn’t sore at all. I was very impressed.

The only negative about this product for me could be the price, at £13 a pot it’s more than I would normally pay for a skin product. However the website often runs promotions so I would be very tempted to buy some more along with the body wash which I’d love to try.

Overall I found this product brilliant and I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a skin condition. I love that it’s a multipurpose balm and can be used for skin irritations, sensitive skin and nappy rash and that it works brilliantly.

Now I will show you some before and after photos just to prove it worked. Please excuse how bad they are, I was struggling to get him to keep still while I took them.
