A very good preparation for any sensitive skin, prone to dryness and easy irritation. Appropriate consistency, thanks to which the preparation is easy to spread, absorbs quite quickly, and does not stain clothes. The preparation contains emollient substances that moisturize and lubricate our skin, making it elastic, i.e. appropriately softened, and therefore not easily irritated. Additionally, the preparation takes care of our skin's microbiome - it protects it against pathogenic bacteria, thereby stimulating local natural defense mechanisms. Packaging with a dispenser facilitates quick use, which is also very important in everyday skin care. I think that the balm will find its supporters, although there are many preparations of this type on the market. Each skin is different - it has different sensitivity. So if we find the one that is right for us and is easy to use, we will be faithful to it.

Great product, smells nice, moisturizes. My daughter's skin does not require special care, but I have noticed that after using the balm, the skin is more velvety. The skin on my hands has also improved after using it every day while applying it to my daughter.

The product met my expectations. The balm has the right consistency, does not irritate and does not have an intense scent. It absorbs quickly, which is a huge advantage for active children. The balm could become a permanent part of my daily baby care.

Maria, mother of Jakub (2 years and 10 months)

5.0

A very good product, it had a positive effect on the child's skin, very efficient, a small amount was enough for large parts of the body, plus it had a delicate, pleasant scent and quick absorption, which allowed the child to be dressed efficiently after a bath.

Aleksandra, Ania's mother (9 months)

Pros: very efficient product, we use it every day after bathing, and there is still a certain amount at the bottom of the bottle. It spreads easily, does not stick (!) to clothes or to the skin, and moisturizes well - the places on the knees where my son often has abrasions are moisturized every day and the irritations can be seen to be soothed. The consistency is perfect in my opinion, but too thin for my husband - I don't think it will please everyone in some respects. Absorbs quickly. Cons - for me the scent of the balm was completely unnoticeable. On the one hand, it's good, because the less chemicals, the better, but the creams and balms we used before had a delicate note of fragrance.

Magdalena, mother of Paweł (2 years old)

4.0

The overall rating of the product is good in my opinion. The product is good for daily care. As I wrote earlier, it does not "harm" the skin, which is in good condition. For skin with higher demands, prone to dryness or irritation, I think that the degree and maintenance of the product's moisturization would be insufficient. In my opinion, the product should be recommended for daily care, only for people without skin problems and insensitive to fragrances. I will add that the smell of the product is unbearable for me. However, my husband liked it very much. He described it as a slightly delicate, pleasant, childish scent. It's a matter of taste, I don't like very scented cosmetics, hence my opinion about the scent.
