Barrier Balm

Fragrance-free nappy balm

A thick, water-resistant balm of zinc oxide, shea butter and sunflower oil that sits on the skin and keeps moisture off it. A thin layer at every change is enough; it doesn’t need to be white to be working.

Free from fragrance, lanolin, parabens and essential oils, and dermatologist-tested on sensitive skin. The 30g travel tin fits the side pocket of our changing backpack.

    No flare-ups at all

    Our daughter has eczema and reacts to almost everything. Three weeks on this wash and her cheeks are calmer than they have been since birth. The pump works one-handed.

    The nicest gift we sent

    Beautifully packed, arrived the next day, and my sister said the sleepsuit was the softest thing they were given. The exchange card in the lid was a thoughtful touch.

    Love the zip, size up early

    Two-way zip is brilliant for night changes. Our twins went through Newborn in about three weeks, so I would buy mostly 0-3M - the free swap made that painless.

    Softer after every wash

    We have washed these muslins at least a hundred times. They are softer now than when they arrived and the edges have not frayed. Already bought a second set.
