We recently lost our jar of Angel Baby Bottom Balm, which we loved to slather on Tycho before bedtime. That stuff took care of any rashes he may have had and was a great protectant, plus it was cloth diaper safe. I was at a local natural baby store to see if they had any in stock and was disappointed to learn they had run out, but a lovely associate there directed me to BALM! Baby Diaper Balm (and 1st Aid!), saying it was incredibly similar to Angel Baby.
Y'all. I think I found us a new balm. Because seriously, this stuff is amazing!
Since we had been missing our Angel Baby jar, Tycho started to develop a bit of redness, which I'm sure was super uncomfortable for the little guy. I wouldn't want to walk around with a chafed ass. I put the BALM! Baby Diaper Balm on his booty last night, hopeful that it would clear up in the next couple days and provide him with relief.
The rash was gone the next morning. I mean, I had a feeling the balm was good, but not that good. Matt had changed him this morning when we all got up, and I had to change him about 45 minutes later after he decided that, :yes, I'd love to take a huge dump right as we're all walking out the house"... and I was surprised to see no redness at all. Angel Baby worked miracles for us before, but not quite this quickly!
BALM! Baby is great for other things, too -- their product information notes that it works on eczema, newborn skin, cradle cap, sunburns, bug bites, dry hands, chapped cheeks from cold or teething, and more. Aside from the obvious (because who would want to endure any of this!), I'm looking forward to giving the "first aid" side of this balm to the test.
Their ingredients are all organic: Olive, coconut, macadamia nut oil & sesame seed oil infused in noni, calendula, chamomile, comfrey & rosemary, candelilla wax, St. John’s wort extract, chickweed extract, neem oil, kukui nut oil, vitamin e T-50, Organic Essential oil blend of orange, lavender & tea tree oils. Making it vegan, too!
And honestly, you can't beat $10. Our Angel Baby stuff had been used for months before we lost it, and we still had well over half the balm left over (making me wonder if we'll ever find it, as you know stuff always goes missing when you need it most). Since BALM! Baby has the same consistency and the directions encourage you to apply conservatively ("a little goes a long way"), and since the jar is even bigger... I imagine we'll have this stuff for a good long while.
So if you're in the market for a new diaper balm, whether you use cloth or disposables, treating diaper rash or just want a great barrier, I encourage you to try BALM! Baby Diaper Balm. :)
