Award-winning natural skincare brand, Balmonds, was founded by a mother desperate to find an emollient that didn’t sting for her baby daughter with eczema. Everything she was offered from pharmacists, GPs or dermatologists stung Lula Balmond’s sensitive skin; aqueous creams were particularly traumatic, but even anhydrous paraffin-based ointments contained synthetic ingredients she reacted to.
In the end, Natalie Balmonds gave up and made a basic traditional ointment herself. That ointment, made with organic oils, herbal tinctures and beeswax, worked so well to calm down Lula’s inflamed skin, that Natalie started making it for friends and family, and eventually founded a company to share it with the thousands of eczema-sufferers who were also in need of a safe, effective, non-stinging cream for sore skin.
The original ointment, Skin Salvation, is now a firm favourite with nurses and healthcare workers across the UK and Ireland, both for themselves and their patients. It’s a brilliantly effective emollient balm which works as well for serious skin complaints as it does for workers who need to wash their hands often throughout the day. Skin Salvation is perfect for nurses who need ultra-gentle, deeply-moisturising skincare to look after dehydrated or sensitive hands that are exposed to harsh detergents or alcohol-based antibacterial gels many times a day.
Skin Salvation has also some fantastic results with stubborn nappy rash, sores and slow-to-heal post-operative skin, but there’s nothing complicated about how it works: the salve nourishes skin with EFA-rich organic hemp, safflower and olive oils, calms itchiness with anti-inflammatory herbal tinctures (chamomile, calendula, nettle and chickweed) and uses naturally antimicrobial beeswax as a barrier to lock moisture in and to protect against external irritants as damaged skin heals
Free from any perfumes, preservatives, parabens or any other synthetics at all, this 100% natural traditional ointment is the perfect all-purpose salve for healthcare workers, and can also be used on cuts, grazes and cracked skin anywhere on the body.
Balmonds have added to the range since Natalie first made Skin Salvation. As well as the ointment, they offer natural emollient oils and creams, as well as a 100% natural Baby & Child range.
