Cracks, grazes, dryness, Thrush, Mastitis...it's all bad, and it's all too common for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Our Boob Balm is a step above the rest as we harness the power of Manuka Oil. A thousand times more potent than Manuka honey, Manuka Oil is instantly pain-relieving, an anti-inflammatory, to heal cracks fast and calm the skin, anti-bacterial, to help prevent the natural bacteria that lives on your skin from capatalising, including the Mastitis causing bacteria, anti-fungal, to keep the common Thrush infection at bay, which is too easy to spread to your little one, and intensely moisturising. Use as both a preventative and a treatment for cracked sore nipples, as well as a comfort during pregnancy for those with dry, sensitive breasts. **We highly recommend preparing and conditioning your skin with Boob Balm in the later weeks of pregnancy, so your breasts are in the best state as possible to begin breastfeeding. And make sure you pack it in your hospital bag. When things go wrong, they go wrong fast, and you really want Boob Balm at hand to help you before things get out of control.

There’s also Rosehip Oil for more healing qualities and intense moisturising, and Kanuka Oil, which helps relieve redness and itching. We’ve also added some lovely, calming Chamomile and Vitamin E. Full Ingredients List: Manuka Oil, Tamanu Oil, Rosehip Oil, Chamomile, Kanuka Oil, Cocoa Butter, Olive Oil, Kokum Butter, Olive M, Vitamin E, Comfrey Oil, Calendula Oil, Glycerine and Cetearyl Alcohol (plant derived). Apply a small amount to effected area as often as required. Test patch first. What do I use it for? Bub Balm can help with eczema, nappy rash, cradle cap, dermatitis, dribble rash or other minor irritations and abrasions. It may even help to stave off fungal infections such as Thrush. Of course, if rashes don’t improve, seek medical advice. Is Bub Balm safe for my baby? Yes. All ingredients in Bub Balm are 100% natural, non-toxic, and already widely used amongst the skincare industry. To be cautious, we suggest, like all skincare products, to test patch first. Is Bub Balm vegan and fragrance free? Yes it's vegan! All the ingredients in Bub Balm are 100% natural and not from animals or animal derived products. But while we don’t add any fragrances to our products, that doesn’t mean our balms don’t have any scent at all. We can’t remove the smells that naturally occur from our ingredients, but luckily enough, all our ingredients smell great together! You can tell, just from a whiff of our products, that they’re jam-packed full of essential oils. And being natural, the scent is fast dissipating, as opposed to synthetic scents that are designed to last.
