Baby Bott Balm™ Calming Solid Bum Balm

It's fine for doing spot treatments, but I wouldn't use it for large areas as it takes a while to apply

Ideal alternative for new baby grandson hoping new parents will use and buy local.

As someone who tries to be as eco friendly and zero waste as possible, I was really excited when I saw this. I’ve mostly managed to get things switched to solid bars throughout toiletries, skincare, and personal care items, but the tubes of cream my baby and toddler go through felt almost endless, and it was one of the few items I hadn’t been able to switch due to a lack of options on the market, so this sparked excitement.

Unfortunately when trying to use it, I’ve found it impossible without caking everything else in it too. Once on it does its job (my hands are amazingly soft after all the messy attempts we’ve had at using it!) and it smells pleasant, and I’ll keep persisting as I hate to waste things, but unfortunately the mess created means it doesn’t work for us as a viable alternative to normal liquid creams

pleasant smelling and gentle exactly what is needed for a babies soft bottom

I tried this on a whim in the 'last chance' section in the hopes of something a lot lighter, less messy and more clothing friendly than the usual zinc based Sudocrem which I use to prevent/treat sweat rash. The texture once applied is very lightweight and does the job I need it to, but it's an absolute *nightmare* to apply! Like other people I've followed the instructions on the pack, have broken/scraped pieces off and melted between my hands or fingers, run the bar itself directly onto clean, warm skin, but it just doesn't go on easily at all. Love the concept, and when you manage to get enough to provide an even layer of product, it's great, but that's a very difficult task. I will keep using (no wasting going on, here!), and hope that by the end of the bar I've found the best way to apply. Curious to know what the new format/formula will be, and will keep an eye out for reviews on it after that. If it can be better applied I'd definitely give it a higher rating next time.
