This balm was known in our family as ‘Dillon Balm’, as I originally formulated it for my son. Since he was a small child he has suffered with periods of extreme eczema, this balm has ‘rescued’ his skin many times over the years. This soothing and deeply moisturising balm can help reduce the appearance of redness, swelling, and irritation while offering up a therapeutic dose of whole plant goodness to jump-start and support the skin’s own healing process. Use Rescue Balm as a facial moisturiser for inflamed, reactive, or dry skin. It can also be used as a helpful remedy for practically any skin ailment from extreme dryness, eczema, painful cystic acne, sensitive allergy-prone skin even minor cuts, scrapes, bug bites, or rash. It is a medicine cabinet staple in our house and I always take a pot on holiday. Tamanu Oil is the star of this preparation, it’s vibrant green colour is what gives Rescue Balm its distinctive green hue. It is a unique oil in the plant world, the only oil to contain the newly discovered compound calophyllolide, which is a strongly anti-inflammatory and healing agent. It has the ability to correct microbial imbalances, reduce inflammation and create an overall environment for healing. To further support skin healing this balm also contains a whole plant infusions of Calendula, Comfrey, Yarrow and Lavender, all known as skin-healing herbs that support new cell growth and regeneration. This balm is crafted without any essential oils. This balm is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Rescue Balm has been tried and tested by many friends and family for a variety of skin concerns including eczema, extreme dryness, irritation, general inflammation and redness, but I cannot guarantee the same results for every individual.
