A barrier balm for nappy changes serves one purpose: to protect the skin from moisture and friction until the next change. This formula does that with four ingredients, all of which are safe from birth. No Essential Oils are needed or recommended in this recipe — the barrier function is what matters, and beeswax and Fractionated Coconut Oil provide it completely.
HERO INGREDIENT — Organic Beeswax Pellets Beeswax forms the physical barrier in this formula. When melted with the other ingredients and allowed to set, it creates a film on the skin surface that water and moisture cannot readily penetrate — which is exactly what nappy area skin needs between changes. It's non-occlusive enough to allow normal skin function but protective enough to prevent the irritation that prolonged moisture contact causes.
WHAT ELSE IS IN THIS RECIPE
Fractionated Coconut Oil (MCT) — lightweight carrier that dilutes the beeswax to an easily spreadable consistency and provides gentle skin conditioning
Vegetable Glycerin — humectant that helps the formula maintain a light layer of moisture at the skin surface while the beeswax forms the protective barrier
Vitamin E Oil — antioxidant that extends shelf life and provides additional conditioning for skin that is frequently exposed to moisture and friction
