Is this only for babies?

No. It is formulated to be gentle enough for newborns, but performs as a general-purpose family balm for dry patches, lips, and cuticles at any age.

Does it contain essential oils?

No. This is one of the few botanical balms that is genuinely fragrance-free, including no essential oil aromatics.

How should I store it?

Cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. The glass jar and short ingredient list keep well over time when stored properly.

Editorial

Why we recommend it

Built around organic olive oil infused with calendula and chamomile — a traditional botanical preparation with a long history of use on tender skin.
Fragrance-free and free of essential oils — appropriate for newborns, sensitive faces, and adults who prefer entirely unscented skincare.
Earth Mama is one of the few baby-focused personal care brands carrying EWG Verified status across a meaningful share of its catalog.
Glass-jar packaging with a metal lid rather than plastic — the right format for a thick botanical balm intended to last.

Transparency

Things to know

01
Best suited for dry skin, chapped cheeks, and rough patches — too rich for already-oily skin or active breakouts.
02
Solid at cooler temperatures, softer in summer. Warm a small amount between fingertips before applying.
03
Marketed as a baby product but performs as a general-purpose family balm. Useful well beyond the nursery.
04
Glass jar — store on a stable surface and out of reach of younger children to avoid breakage.

Ingredients & formula highlights

01 — Ingredient

Calendula

A flowering plant infused into olive oil for its long-standing use in soothing dry, rough, and reactive skin. A staple of traditional botanical skincare.

02 — Ingredient

Chamomile

Infused alongside calendula for its calming reputation in traditional botanical skincare. Particularly common in formulations intended for children.

03 — Ingredient

Shea Butter

A rich plant butter that provides occlusion and emollience without sealing the skin completely. A common base for balms designed for very dry areas.

04 — Ingredient

Beeswax

Provides structure to the balm and helps form a protective surface layer that slows water loss from the skin.
