Gold
Little Cirkus, Baby Oil
“A natural product, with no fragrance, which was reassuring, and I immediately felt that this was a safe product to use on my baby. It absorbs quickly. After the first use on baby and me after a bath I noticed how soft and smooth skin felt, and the next morning it did too. Lasting positive effects, which I was very pleased with. Used it for removing make-up, baby massage, skin moisturiser, and it delivered. I feel as though we need this product on our shelf all the time. It’s handy and versatile and skin felt soft and smooth and never greasy. It’s not heavy, it doesn’t sit on skin, and it suited everyone’s skin type. Became a family favourite.”

SOS Balm, SOS Balm – Unscented
“Lovely little compact fragrance-free, non-greasy balm in an appealing pot. I’m a bit in love. It’s a great all-rounder; has proved excellent for applying to my son especially around and on his lips and other dry and cracked skin. It has soothed his lips and has seemed to keep them under control with just a couple of applications a day. A godsend for anyone with a busy family and battling day-to-day life with eczema. I felt reassured that this product was safe to use on my son’s skin which has been cracked and sore for so much of his life. Bravo!”
Valley Mist, Baby and Nipple Balm With Calendula & Rosehip Oil
“Reassuringly natural. Quickly absorbed. Lovely thick texture, like smooth peanut butter. Easy to use and apply. Skin feels soft. Worked well and helped with nappy rash and dry peeling skin, and folds of skin that are prone to being red and sore from trapped moisture. Loved using it as it felt so luxurious. Delivered on its promises: used it as a baby balm and it kept the skin moisturised and protected, even through teething, which caused red and soreness. Helped with my eczema as well. A quality product.”
Bronze
Datsit, Unscented Whipped Body Butter
“Anyone with young children who hate having creams applied knows how difficult it can be when creams are tough or need to melt. This isn’t one of those! It’s so light and easy to apply, it doesn’t leave him uncomfortably sticky nor make a mess: a soothing cream that takes away some of the discomfort from irritated skin. We all noticed a difference: our skin was less dry and inflamed than it had been for a long time. My son was also scratching less! This body butter truly blew me away — it is family friendly, perfect for those with sensitivity to greasy textures and a game changer for super dry skin.”
Lyonsleaf, Pure Baby Balm
“A strong contender from Lyonsleaf. Much smoother than their other balms, and much easier to scoop from the jar and apply with one hand while you are trying to wrestle with an unrelenting child with the other! Skin wasn’t left greasy, but moist and smooth. I used this on a real plethora of ailments, from dry skin, to full blow eczema, grazes, stings and a small burn. All of the things that families come up against in day-to-day life and I found it a comfort to have on hand. It eased ailments and gave me peace of mind as a mother, and that — I think — is a making of a really great baby balm.”
Made by the Beekeeper, Anywhere Anytime Balm
“Applies well and a little goes a long way. The day after using this the first time I noticed that my son’s skin after an eczema flare has reduced, not quite as inflamed, and after around a week it feels smoother and the redness has minimised. My husband, who also has dry scaling skin, has tried it on his knees and elbows and within days the flaking has gone. Over the next few weeks we noticed my son’s skin has further improved: the area seems to be protected and soothed and scratching has reduced. We are happy. It’s great!”
