Bum Balm – All-Natural Nappy Rash Protection with Kawakawa, Tallow, Calendula & Chamomile

Gentle yet powerful skin protection for your baby’s delicate bottom. Enhanced with our favourite Kawakawa-infused oil for next-level soothing and healing.

Bum Balm is a rich, nourishing barrier balm designed to:
✨ Protect against nappy rash
✨ Soothe irritation and inflamed skin
✨ Help prevent fungal infections
✨ Support natural healing processes

Its unique formulation also helps to soothe and protect skin affected by “wet” eczema, keeping the area dry, calm, and shielded while your baby’s skin recovers.

This all-natural blend combines the time-tested power of Calendula and Chamomile with the soothing strength of Kawakawa, a New Zealand native plant traditionally used to calm inflamed, sensitive skin. Crafted with 100% natural ingredients and free from synthetic fillers, petroleum, and harsh preservatives, Bum Balm is safe enough to use with every nappy change — offering gentle, effective care for even the most sensitive skin.

Why Parents Love Bum Balm

🌿 Deeply Nourishing & Protective

The rich base of tallow, coconut oil, and beeswax locks in moisture, while sweet almond oil infused with Kawakawa, Calendula, and Chamomile delivers skin-loving plant compounds directly to irritated areas.

💧 Weeping Eczema Relief

Calendula and Chamomile help calm redness and inflammation, while Kawakawa provides natural pain relief. Combined with zinc, these ingredients help dry, soothe and protect areas of weeping eczema — even the most stubborn nappy rash. For dry eczema relief we use our Owie (Everything) Balm.

🦠 Fights Bacteria & Fungi Naturally

Nappy rash can easily become infected, especially in warm, moist areas. Bum Balm contains ingredients like Kawakawa and a touch of tea tree oil, creating an unfriendly environment for bacteria and yeast, while zinc provides a protective barrier to keep moisture out.

❤️ Safe for Full Body Use

Not just for bums — this balm is gentle enough for use anywhere your baby’s skin needs a little extra care, from neck folds to dry patches, chafing, and dribble rash.

Formulated by a mum of four and a naturopathy student, every jar of Bum Balm is carefully handcrafted with your baby’s safety and comfort in mind.

FAQs

💬 Is Bum Balm safe for newborns?

Yes! Bum Balm is formulated with newborns and sensitive skin in mind. If your baby is under 6 months and you are concerned about potential allergens (like coconut or almond oil), we recommend patch testing first or trying our sample size to be sure.

💬 Can I use Bum Balm with cloth nappies?

Yes, Bum Balm is cloth-nappy friendly. However, like any balm containing natural oils and waxes, we suggest using a liner to protect absorbency over time.

💬 Can I use this for other skin irritations?

Absolutely! Bum Balm is gentle enough for use on chafing, dribble rash, dry patches, and skin folds. It’s a true multi-purpose balm for your baby’s skin.

💬 How often should I apply Bum Balm?

We recommend applying a thin layer at every nappy change, especially if the skin looks red, irritated, or is exposed to moisture for long periods.

💬 What if my baby has a known allergy to almonds or coconut?

Since Bum Balm contains sweet almond oil and coconut oil, we recommend choosing a patch-test sample first to check for any sensitivity. If your baby has a confirmed allergy to either ingredient, this may not be the best product for you.

💬 What makes Kawakawa special?

Kawakawa is a native New Zealand plant traditionally used for skin healing. It’s known for its anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and antimicrobial properties, making it perfect for soothing red, sore skin — especially in the delicate nappy area.

💬 What type of Zinc Oxide do you use?

We use Non- micronised zinc oxide, which means it isn't milled down to nano size particles; therefore, the zinc sits on the skin of your bubs and is not absorbed.

Is this product for me?

If you’re looking for a safe, all-natural balm to protect your baby’s skin, Bum Balm is the perfect choice. Its unique blend of tallow, beeswax, zinc, and botanicals helps to prevent fungal infections, soothe irritated skin, and keep delicate areas dry. Whether your baby is dealing with nappy rash or other irritated skin, Bum Balm offers gentle, effective protection.

How to use

Apply a thin layer to your baby's skin at each nappy change to protect and soothe. For optimal results, apply to dry skin. Bum Balm can also be applied to other irritated areas, such as skin folds.

Before regular use, test a small amount on a patch of your baby's skin. If irritation occurs, do not use.
