Which balm is for what?
| Balm | Made for |
|---|---|
| Baby balm | Calendula and chamomile, for baby skin |
| Unscented | Sensitive or reactive skin — no essential oils |
| Foot balm | Cracked heels and hard skin |
| Sleep balm | Lavender and bergamot, for temples and wrists at night |
| Belly butter | Pregnancy — a richer balm for a stretching belly |
They are balms rather than lotions, so they are thicker and go further than they look. A tin lasts a long time because you need very little.
Balm or lotion — which do I want?
A balm is oils and waxes with no water in it. That makes it heavier, slower to absorb, and better at sealing moisture into skin that is already cracked or chapped — heels, hands in winter, lips.
A lotion has water in it and absorbs faster, which is what you want for whole-body everyday use. If you want something to sink in quickly across large areas, a balm is the wrong texture.
The unscented one is the useful default
If you are buying for someone else, or for skin that reacts, the unscented balm is the safe choice — no essential oils at all, rather than a lighter fragrance. It is also the one to use on faces and around eyes, where scented balms are best avoided.
Beyond the balms
There is a ginger deep tissue massage oil, an organic shaving soap with shea and aloe, and a hair pomade in the men's line. All on the same certified-organic basis as the balms.
If you are pregnant or nursing and unsure whether a product is suitable, check the label or ask your midwife or doctor — particularly with anything scented.
