The Two Core Heroes:
1. 1% Colloidal Oatmeal: The Clinically-Proven Itch Stopper
This is the ingredient that provides immediate, science-backed relief. As an FDA-recognized skin protectant, its purpose is simple: to stop the itch. It breaks that agonizing itch-scratch-bleed loop that keeps your baby (and you) up all night. This allows the skin to finally have a chance to heal without interruption.
2. Grass-Fed Tallow: The Barrier Rebuilder
This is the ancestral wisdom that provides deep, long-term healing. Unlike plant-based ingredients, tallow’s profile of fatty acids and vitamins (A, D, E, K) almost perfectly mimics your baby’s own natural skin fats. It doesn't just sit on the surface; it's recognized by the skin and absorbed to help repair the fundamental barrier from within, making it stronger and more resilient. It provides a "deeply nourishing" feeling you haven't experienced before.
The Protective & Moisturizing Base:
3. Shea & Mango Butter: The Protective Softener
We use this combination to provide lasting moisture without the heavy, greasy feeling you hate. Shea Butter creates a rich, nourishing layer to soften those rough, scaly patches, while Mango Butter's lighter texture ensures the balm melts into the skin. The result is just soft, healthy skin—no irritation, no greasy residue.
4. Beeswax: The Breathable Shield
This forms a fine, protective barrier on the skin's surface. Think of it as a shield that blocks out environmental triggers like wind, drool, or the friction from clothing, all while still allowing the skin to breathe. It locks in the moisture from the other ingredients so they can do their job.
5. Jojoba Oil: The Smart Moisturizer
Jojoba is structurally very close to the oil your skin produces naturally. It absorbs quickly to soothe redness and helps carry the other active ingredients deeper into the skin, making the entire formula more effective.
The Calming & Soothing Support:
6. The Supporting Helpers (Bisabolol, Zinc PCA, Vitamin E)
- Bisabolol: This is a compound isolated from chamomile that calms flare-ups and reduces redness. (And to be clear, this is not an essential oil).
- Zinc PCA: Helps control the "bad germs" that can cause issues in cracked skin and supports the skin's natural healing process.
- Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant that protects fragile skin and helps keep the natural oils in the balm fresh.
What’s NOT Inside:
Just as important is what we left out. You will never find:
- Steroids
- Synthetics
- Parabens
- Fragrances
- Essential Oils
This is just clean, purposeful skin nutrition, designed to finally end your search.
