Why Calendula Balm Is the Ultimate Skin Healer for Mums & Bubs

Why Calendula Balm Is the Ultimate Skin Healer for Mums & Bubs

Gentle. Effective. Plant-powered relief for every stage of life.

If you’ve ever stood in the pharmacy aisle scanning ingredient lists, hoping to find something actually gentle enough for your skin — or your baby’s — you’re not alone. That’s exactly where Nourished Skin Co began.

After years of experiencing allergic reactions to mainstream products and watching my daughter’s delicate skin flare up from “sensitive” formulas, I turned to something ancient, powerful, and plant-based: Calendula.

🌼 What Makes Calendula So Magical?

Calendula (aka Calendula officinalis or marigold) has been used for centuries to treat everything from wounds to rashes. But it’s not just an old wives’ tale. This vibrant flower has anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial, antihistamine and skin-repairing properties, all backed by science.

It helps:

  • Calm eczema, rashes & dry patches

  • Soothe post-shaving or irritated skin

  • Support healing in cracked nipples & stretch marks

  • Gently treat nappy rash, cradle cap & baby eczema

It's like nature’s bandage — without the sting.

👶 Safe for Babies, Loved by Mamas

Our Organic Calendula Balm was originally made to treat my daughter’s baby rashes when nothing else worked. It's since become our best-seller, trusted by mums, midwives and anyone with ultra-sensitive skin.

Made with just a handful of pure, certified organic ingredients, it’s free from:

  • Synthetic preservatives

  • Fragrance

  • Parabens

  • Anything you can't pronounce

Instead, you’ll find only what your skin truly needs — and nothing it doesn’t.

🌱 Small Batch, Mama-Made, Earth-Loving

Every balm is handmade in small batches on the Mornington Peninsula with sustainability front of mind. Our balm comes in recyclable tins, with refill options available to help reduce waste and protect the planet we love.

Because caring for your skin shouldn't come at the cost of the environment.

✨ The One Balm You’ll Keep Reaching For

From the changing table to the bathroom cabinet, this is your go-to for:

  • Flaky lips

  • Winter dry patches

  • Cuts, scrapes & bites

  • Skin that’s feeling just not right

When we say multi-use, we mean it.
