Those of you who have trawled the website recently may have noticed some of the changes I have made, including the release of our Natural Nappy Cream. For those who are haven't read it, I made the Nappy Cream because nothing I tried worked. My youngest has unusually sensitive and fragile skin, due to her Spin Bifida. Every single cream, ointment, balm, oil, barrier I tried failed after a few days and she open sores around her bottom for months. I found 100% compostable disposable nappies to reduce moisture, I found very moist and gentle wipes (also compostable. I have very happy compost worms) and these helped a little, but not as much as I expected. It still came down to the barrier cream. Zincs stopped her skin from bbreathing, others couldn't provide enough barrier from the moisture. So out of sheer desperation I researched a recipe and fiddled with it to end up with this cream. Within a week the sores that had been there for months were all but healed.

We use this cream for everything- eczema, insect bites, scratches, sores, lip balm, minor burns, and as a general body moisturiser. 

I have sold a few jars here and there to people I have met and the subject came up. The feedback has honestly surprised me. I find it sad and funny that many people, myself included, tend to devalue our own efforts and see it as 'nothing', so even though we had success with the cream I didn't expect too much success with other people. So when it has been used for allergic rashes, scar healing from 2nd degree burns to a toddlers skin, and to 81yr old poorly cared for skin; I have been honestly and pleasantly surprised at the very positive feedback.

The cream is available is 2 sizes: 60g and 240g. It is best kept in the fridge where possible. If unrefridgerated at all I can only promise 5 weeks before possible spoiling. Despite some people advising, I refuse to add any kind of preservative or ingredient that is not specfically going to improve the efficacy of the cream. There are no synthetics, artificals, GMO's, toxic anything and I grow the herbs using orgainc principles in my own backyard. The beeswax is local and Western Australian, farmed without pesticides or chemicals. The Canola oil is non GMO, and I am investigating a more local source. I infuse the herbs myself. The Lavender Essential Oil adds a touch of divinity and calm.

Handmade at home with love and care, this is a truly lovely nappy/ body cream. Nothing mass produced about it.
