A good product composition based on natural ingredients that both moisturize and lubricate the skin, i.e. properly care for it. They maintain the epidermal barrier in good condition and can soothe skin irritations. The lack of fragrance additives is an important feature of the product for allergy sufferers, because it reduces the possibility of local and inhaled irritations (irritations of the nasal mucosa). This increases the safety of using the product. There are many products for children's skin care on the market. Those that are hypoallergenic, like this balm, certainly have a better chance of remaining in constant sale. Every child's skin is different and only after trying a given product do we find out if it is the right one for us.

Due to its consistency, the balm spreads very well on the skin - it is neither too thin nor too thick. It absorbs very well, leaving the skin moisturized. Immediately after application, the skin becomes velvety smooth, refreshed, and minor irritations disappear. In my opinion, it is a very useful product, both due to its successful, natural composition and excellent moisturizing effect. I also rate its packaging very well: a handy and light plastic bottle (from an ecological point of view, a glass bottle would be better, but this one is more convenient because it is lighter) and a very convenient and well-functioning dispenser. The outer packaging is a cardboard box with a lot of information about the product, including a comprehensive discussion of the ingredients and their effects, how to use them, and the age of the child for whom the product is intended. I have been using this balm for about 4 weeks and I am delighted with it. Very convenient to use, it moisturizes the skin very well, the condition of which has improved significantly over time, and the packaging is very aesthetic. I don't see any flaws.

Starting with the packaging, which is durable, minimalist, and has a pump that dispenses the right amount of product. As for the properties of the balm, I believe that it meets the manufacturer's promises, moisturizes and leaves a pleasant protective layer on the skin, it is not greasy, absorbs quickly, the skin is soft immediately after use. The only small minus from my point of view is the scent, which is quite neutral but noticeable. I think the balm could be either unscented or with a sweet mango scent.

The balm is amazing, it acts as a delicate mousse on the skin and soothes dry skin. I like the bottle with a convenient pump that can be closed and child-proof. The balm is very efficient.

The balm does its job - it has a light consistency, moisturizes and leaves a light, pleasant film on the skin. The skin looks healthier. With regular use, it improves the condition of dry skin in problem areas such as elbows and knees. Additionally, the balm absorbs quickly, which is a great advantage in the case of a cosmetic for children.

Even though the baby's skin was not problematic, I still noticed an improvement in its quality and a significant improvement in the skin on my hands. The balm has a very delicate consistency, absorbs well and provides excellent lubrication.

My son has major skin problems. He has dry, red patches on his folds and a huge, itchy rash on his neck. We have tried four other creams/ointments, one from a doctor's prescription and nothing. This one took just 5 days and there is a huge difference. I would spend thousands on this cream if I had to. It is effective and works. I have photos showing the obvious improvement. I am grateful that I was given such a great product to test.

Very gentle product. It did not cause allergies and moisturized my child's skin very well. The skin became soft after a few days and the irritation of atopic dermatitis decreased.

My son has no diagnosed skin problems. However, he often has rough skin and small pimples. After regular use of the balm, the skin quickly became smoother. I liked its consistency. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly, which is important to me with a 6-year-old energetic child. It does not have an irritating smell as it happened with other balms from other brands.
Kinga, mother of a 6-year-old child

The product has a very convenient packaging. The consistency is perfect, it doesn't run, spreads nicely and absorbs quite quickly, so it doesn't stain clothes. The skin is moisturized, delicate. Even my son's rough and constantly scraped knees look better after treatment with this balm.
