Our products have been thoughtfully formulated over the past decade to be safe for all ages, and magically multi-use. Read about the different uses below!
Diaper ointment
Diaper Rash
Diaper rash is caused by irritation and abrasion from prolonged exposure to urine and stool. To heal it, you need to create a protective barrier. We believe our diaper ointment is the best barrier out there. It’s all-natural, forms an impenetrable barrier, and contains botanical ingredients that help damaged skin heal faster.
Help your infant sleep through the night
Infants often wake at night due to discomfort from their own stool and urine. Who would want to sleep in a cold, wet diaper? Our diaper ointment forms a strong barrier, preventing irritation and helping your infant sleep soundly through the night—without the risk of diaper rash.

Poison oak and Poison Ivy
Poison oak and poison ivy cause skin irritation like diaper rash, where the outer layer of the skin breaks down from an allergic reaction. Our diaper ointment’s healing properties can soothe and repair the damaged skin, offering relief and comfort.
Chafing
Chafing from activities like running, swimming, or cycling can irritate the skin, especially in areas like the groin, armpits, or neck. Apply our diaper ointment to these areas for quick relief and healing. You’ll start feeling better the next day.
Bed sores
Bed sores are essentially diaper rashes for the elderly, caused by skin damage from prolonged moisture exposure. If you have a loved one who is bedridden, our diaper ointment can help treat and prevent bed sores anywhere on the body—whether on the buttocks, heels, arms, or sides.
baby Balm
Cradle Cap
Cradle cap is caused by rapid skin growth and shedding in newborns, which can lead to a harmless fungal buildup. While it isn’t painful or itchy, it’s not the cutest look. To treat it, apply our baby balm twice a day to loosen the dead skin, then gently exfoliate with a warm washcloth in the bath.
Newborn Skin Care
Newborn skin is delicate and prone to rashes. Keeping your baby’s skin nourished is key to fewer rashes. Our baby balm is perfect as a daily head-to-toe moisturizer—just massage it onto your baby after their bath, and it will help maintain their skin’s soft, natural beauty.
Skin Irritation from New Foods
As infants start eating, food often ends up on their face, leading to redness and irritation around the mouth. To prevent this, apply a thicker layer of baby balm around their mouth to create a protective barrier. If irritation has already started, a smaller amount can help soothe the area.
Scrapes and Cuts
Ditch the Neosporin and use our baby balm for minor cuts and scrapes. Simply clean the area with soap and water, then apply the balm to promote healing. With castor seed and olive oils, it helps stimulate new skin cell growth—perfect for those little falls while learning to walk.
Pregnancy Stretch Marks
Stretch marks often occur during pregnancy as your skin stretches to accommodate your growing belly. To improve skin elasticity and reduce stretch marks, apply our baby balm to your belly twice a day throughout your pregnancy.
Diaper care
Preventing diaper rash starts with a good barrier cream. After each diaper change, apply a thick layer of our baby balm to hydrate and protect your baby’s skin, keeping their tush healthy and rash-free.
Hair Care
Our baby balm contains castor seed oil that promotes hair growth and helps hair stick together-perfect for braiding and styling.
Nipple Balm
Breastfeeding health
Breastfeeding can strain the skin on your nipples, so it’s important to keep them hydrated and healthy to prevent pain and protect against bacteria that can lead to mastitis. Start using our nipple balm around 36 weeks of pregnancy to improve nipple health and continue applying it after each breastfeeding session.
Chapped lips
Anything you put on your lips is also going directly into your mouth. Skip the chapsticks with petrolatum (fossil fuels) and use our nipple balm instead. With just four all-natural ingredients, it’s perfect for moisturizing and giving your lips a plump, nourished look. Plus, it's safe and edible (though we don't recommend eating it).
Chapped knuckles
For chapped hands and knuckles, you need a balm that will seal in moisture and repair skin without rubbing off easily. Our nipple balm does just that—hydrating and healing even the driest, most cracked skin.
Breast pump lubricant
Using a breast pump? Choose a lubricant that’s safe for both you, your baby, and the pump. Many synthetic balms can damage pumps and release harmful chemicals into the breast milk. Our all-natural nipple balm is compatible with all breast pumps and is safe for your baby.
Salve-All
Facial moisturizer
Our salve-all is packed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant botanicals, rich in vitamin C and moisture-boosting ingredients that improve skin elasticity and reduce age spots. Apply it twice a day, and your skin will feel more alive than ever.
Adult total body skin care
Most body moisturizers are full of synthetic ingredients that can disrupt your hormones. Our all-natural salve-all is the perfect solution—safe for your whole body and made entirely from ingredients that come straight from nature.
Massage/sore muscles
With anti-inflammatory botanicals like arnica, our salve-all is perfect for soothing sore muscles after exercise or injury. Massage it in for relief and comfort.
Olive Oil Soap
Hand and Body Soap
Our olive oil soap is gentle enough for an infant’s delicate skin yet moisturizing and cleansing enough for adults. One bar works for the whole family—gentle, effective, and convenient.
