A product revered as a “miracle in a bathtub” has now been recognized as a medical treatment for people with eczema. Parents have often praised the product for working wonders on their little ones, but now it’s stepped it up a notch.
Balmonds has long been hailed as a miracle for those with eczema, but it is now actually recognized as a treatment for the skin condition. Skin Salvation is the first 100% natural cream to achieve Class 1 Medical Device classification for eczema, meaning it can be said to be a safe, effective treatment for chronic conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
The “Miracle Balm” consists of nine natural ingredients that work together to achieve “magical” results. Olive oil, safflower seed oil, hemp seed oil, calendula flower extract, chamomile flower extract, chickweed extra and nettle extract are all used for their moisturizing and skin soothing properties.
It also uses protective beeswax to lock in moisture and aims to support the healthy function of the skin barrier. It’s okay to use on all skin types, although they recommend waiting until you’re at least six weeks old.
Although it is now a recognized eczema treatment, we recommend that you test the patch on a small part of your body, such as your wrist, before applying it everywhere, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The product has earned a good reputation and has an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from a whopping 3,182 reviews. One satisfied customer raved: “Amazing miracle in a small tub. Amazing product. I could see results the next day. My son has severe eczema. I’ve tried everything on the market, from steroid creams to bath powder. Nothing seems to work for long. This cream cleared them up dark spots and kept the skin hydrated.”
Another wrote: “Magic. I used the skin rescue on some dry skin on my nose due to my nose blowing from a cold. And I could see an improvement after just one use! I would go so far as to say that the dry skin is completely gone”.
And it’s not just parents who find comfort in the emollient; a fourth added: “If it’s sore, if it’s dry, this emollient really is a lifesaver. I’ve used it during topical steroid withdrawal, and it hasn’t irritated my skin. I would highly recommend it to anyone with dry, sensitive skin looking for a natural, safe alternative.”
Despite the multitude of fans, not everyone found the product effective. One less impressed user shared his experience: “Not good for my eczema to be honest. My eczema is super scabby and I wouldn’t say there is a cure for it.” In response, Balmonds assured them that there is no financial risk involved thanks to their 60-day money-back guarantee.
Other balms on the market can soothe sore skin, such as Jeunvie’s £34.99 balm or Bria’s £15.95 baby balm. Alternatively, you can buy Balmond’s Skin Salvation from £9.
