Owies Balm

Owies Balm is a three-herb infused balm built on some of the most trusted wound-healing and skin-soothing botanicals in traditional plant medicine.

Plantain brings deeply calming and drawing action to irritated, inflamed or broken skin — one of the first herbs herbalists reach for in acute skin care.

Calendula is profoundly anti-inflammatory and vulnerary, supporting the repair of damaged skin while keeping sensitive tissue calm and protected — making it a cornerstone of natural children’s skin care. Yarrow contributes astringent and antimicrobial properties, supporting tissue recovery and helping keep minor wounds clean and settled.

Lavender essential oil adds gentle antimicrobial action and promotes wound healing alongside its well-known calming effect. Zinc creates a protective barrier layer over healing skin, reducing irritation and supporting the skin barrier — particularly valuable for nappy rash and broken skin.

The whole blend is carried in organic grapeseed oil and set in beeswax, creating a breathable, nourishing balm that melts easily into skin without blocking pores.

Apply a small amount directly to the affected area as needed. For nappy rash, apply at every change. For dry skin and cuticles, use as a daily balm. For cuts and scrapes, clean the area first then apply a thin layer and cover if needed.
Safe for all ages including newborns. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs discontinue use. Keep out of reach of children.

Is it safe for newborns?
Yes — all ingredients are gentle enough for newborn skin. It works beautifully as a nappy rash balm from birth. If your baby has particularly reactive skin, do a small patch test on the inner arm first.

Can I use it on nappy rash?
Absolutely — this is one of its most loved uses. Apply a generous layer at every nappy change. The zinc creates a protective barrier while calendula and plantain soothe and support healing of irritated skin.

Can I use it on eczema?
Many families find Owies Balm deeply soothing for eczema flares — calendula and plantain are both well regarded for reactive, sensitive skin. It won’t cure eczema but it can offer meaningful relief and barrier support during flares. If your child has severe or infected eczema please consult your healthcare provider.

Does it work on insect bites and stings?
Yes — apply directly to the bite or sting for immediate soothing relief. Plantain in particular has a long tradition of use for drawing out insect venom and calming the itch and inflammation of bites.

Can adults use it too?
Completely — it works beautifully on dry cuticles, cracked heels, chapped lips, minor cuts and dry patches. Many mamas keep one in their handbag for their own skin as much as for the kids.

How long does one tin last?
A little goes a long way — a 30g tin used daily for nappy rash will last approximately 4–6 weeks. For occasional use it will last considerably longer.

Is it safe to use near the mouth?
The ingredients are all natural but this balm is not formulated for internal use. For chapped lips or skin very close to the mouth, apply carefully and keep away from the inside of the mouth.
