An all-purpose 100 per cent natural balm with eight different uses has been hailed the “best” solution for eczema and angry and inflamed skin, with thousands of mums, midwives and women saying it has helped with their various skin problems.
British brand Balmonds’ Skin Salvation Balm ($16.95) was launched in 2007, when a mother was desperate for a “safe, all-natural moisturiser for her daughter’s eczema-prone skin”.
Now, more than 16 years later, Balmonds’ 16 products include the best-selling Skin Salvation Balm, a Daily Moisturising Cream, Scalp Oil, Intensive Hand Cream and a Natural Shampoo and Body Wash.

All the products feature Balmonds’ signature protective beeswax formulation, which works to lock in moisture and provide a healthy barrier between the skin and the elements.
Other ingredients include chamomile flower extract, nettle extract, hemp seed oil and olive fruit oil; all of which help to relieve the itchiness of inflamed skin and dramatically improve its look and texture.
Before and after photos shared on social media show just how well the Balmonds’ Skin Salvation Balm has helped with all sorts of people’s skin problems – from babies to athletes, makeup artists and eczema sufferers.
The $16.95 buy has also won a host of awards already in 2023.
They include the Best Product for Sensitive Skin and Eczema at the Beauty Shortlist Mama & Baby Awards and the Best Buy in Baby & Child at the Green Parent Natural Beauty Awards.
“I have been really struggling with my six month old son’s skin since he was six weeks old. However since using this balm, his skin has really calmed down and the redness/dryness has been kept to a minimum,” one mother wrote.
“We use this before we go swimming which also acts as a great barrier to stop the chlorine from irritating his skin too.”
Another said: “I started experiencing very dry, sore skin on both arms for the first time in my life which turned into painful eczema. After trying many products to relieve the irritation, I started using Skin Salvation two times a day and within a week the irritation and itchiness had gone”.
While a third added: “My triplet girls have very dry skin with red patches. We started to use Skin Salvation and after a week the result was amazing”.
Balmonds also say the Skin Salvation Balm has a host of different uses – from a foot salve and heel balm to a cuticle product, face mask and nappy cream.
Some have said they have used it to heal sore nipples caused by breastfeeding, as well as cracked lips and any other flare-ups they might be struggling with.
Other makeup artists swear by it for keeping their clients’ complexions in check when they are wearing lots of makeup and filming.
Skin Salvation is suitable for all ages (including in pregnancy and on babies from six weeks old), all skin types, and it can be used anywhere on the body.
It is fragrance-free and doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients.
