Crafted with infants in mind but safe for the whole family, Mama's Medicinals Baby Bum + Body Balm is a nutrient-rich, all-natural botanical balm formulated to soothe diaper rash, eczema, cradle cap, and sensitive skin with 14 pure plant ingredients and no harsh chemicals. Non-comedogenic and handcrafted — gentle enough for newborns, effective enough for the whole family.
What's Inside?
Olive Oil (Olea europaea) — A deeply nourishing base oil rich in oleic acid, squalene, and antioxidants. Olive oil has been used for centuries to soften and protect skin, and is exceptionally gentle for infant skin.
Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao) — A rich, emollient fat that melts at skin temperature to deeply moisturize and protect the skin barrier. Helps lock in hydration and soothe dry, chapped skin.
Shea Butter (Vitellaria paradoxa) — A beloved skin-softening butter rich in fatty acids and Vitamins A and E. Supports skin elasticity, soothes irritation, and provides a protective barrier for sensitive and inflamed skin.
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) — A traditional botanical with well-documented skin-soothing properties. Infused into the base oil, St. John's Wort supports comfort for irritated, inflamed, and sun-exposed skin.
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) — One of the gentlest and most well-researched botanicals for sensitive skin. Chamomile's active compound, bisabolol, is clinically recognized for its skin-calming and anti-irritant properties — ideal for baby skin and eczema-prone skin.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis) — A gold-standard botanical for infant and sensitive skin care. Calendula is rich in flavonoids and triterpenoids that support skin healing, reduce redness, and soothe diaper rash, cradle cap, and inflamed skin.
Turmeric Root (Curcuma longa) — Provides curcumin, a potent antioxidant and skin-soothing compound. Supports the skin's natural response to irritation and helps calm redness and discomfort.
Arnica (Arnica montana) — A traditional botanical used topically to support comfort for bruised, swollen, and irritated skin. Included for its soothing and skin-supportive properties.
Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) — Supports the skin's natural defense and healing processes. Echinacea is rich in alkylamides and polysaccharides that support skin resilience and comfort.
Propolis — A natural resin produced by bees with powerful antioxidant and skin-protective properties. Propolis has been studied for its role in supporting skin healing and protecting against environmental stressors.
Colloidal Oatmeal (Avena Sativa Kernel) — An FDA-recognized skin protectant for eczema and dry, itchy skin. Colloidal oatmeal forms a protective barrier on the skin, locks in moisture, and provides immediate relief for itching and irritation — including baby eczema and heat rash.
Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) — One of the most nutrient-dense botanicals in skin care, rich in Omega-7, Vitamin C, carotenoids, and antioxidants. Sea Buckthorn supports skin regeneration, soothes irritation, and provides deep nourishment for compromised or sensitive skin.
Beeswax — A natural emulsifier and skin protectant that gives the balm its texture and creates a breathable, protective barrier on the skin. Locks in moisture without clogging pores.
Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) — A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative stress, supports skin healing, and extends the shelf life of the botanical oils in the formula.
All-natural, non-comedogenic formula. Handcrafted. Safe for infants, sensitive skin, and nursing mothers. Full ingredient list is on the product label.
