If you're looking for a natural, gentle alternative to antibacterial creams and plasters — Owie Balm is for you.

Especially loved by mums of adventurous kids, and anyone with sensitive or fragile skin (including EB), Owie Balm supports daily healing with simple, potent ingredients. It replaces multiple first-aid and skincare products with one clean, effective balm.

Perfect for families, first-aid kits, and daily skin support.

Apply a thin layer to eczema-affected areas, cuts, scratches, rashes, and insect bites to soothe, protect, and support the skin’s natural healing.
Cover with a plaster if the wound is large or freshly scratched. Alternatively, let the balm act as a protective barrier on its own.
Reapply as needed or until the skin has naturally recovered.
Also works beautifully as a healing lip balm.
