Babies often get irritated skin around the nappy (or diaper) area. The introduction of a barrier cream helps protect the skin and we think Zinc does the trick! But we wanted more than just protection, so we added in a whole bunch of healthy GOO-dness to address the cause of the irritation, not just the symptoms. Plus, the nourishing oils we use will soothe stressed out skin keeping baby happy in their nappy. Did you know? Even though the refined nut oils used in skin care do not contain the protein that cause allergic reactions, we made our baby balm free of all nut oils for peace of mind.
