What It Helps With
What It Helps With
The widespread use of petroleum jelly in the skincare industry prompted Sian to embark on a research journey, delving into its extensive refining process derived from non-renewable crude oil. This exploration ignited her determination to develop an alternative solution that not only prioritises natural ingredients but also upholds sustainability and safety in its usage.
Through an intricate process, we have successfully crafted an Organic Balm that transcends the conventional notion of a mere barrier and delves into the realm of providing deep moisturisation for parched skin. Distinguished from petroleum jelly, the Organic Balm incorporates carefully selected components, including unrefined organic shea butter, renowned for its superior non-comedogenic properties. When synergistically combined with organic safflower oil, it forms a non-greasy shield that flawlessly envelops the skin, keeping the pores unobstructed and delivering long-lasting hydration.
We take immense pride in utilising only the highest quality, organic, and sustainably sourced ingredients not only in this exceptional balm but also across the entire Obvs range. This unwavering commitment ensures that you can confidently indulge in our products, knowing that they are created with integrity and the well-being of both you and the environment in mind.
Smell – Lightly nutty, earthy unrefined Organic Shea Butter scent.
Texture – Balm, if too solid warm in your fingertips before application.

Ingredients
Ingredients
Butyrospermum parkii (Shea Butter)*, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil*, Maranta Arundinacea Root Powder (Arrowroot)*, Euphorbia cerifera cera (Candelilla Wax), Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), *Organic
The Shea Butter used in this product is unrefined and certified organic, indicating that it has not undergone any chemical refining processes. As a result, users can benefit from the pure and natural properties inherent in Shea Butter. This Shea Butter is sourced directly from a fairly traded cooperative that adheres to sustainability principles and refrains from using pesticides. Additionally, the cooperative ensures fair wages for its workers.
The Safflower oil used in this formulation is certified organic and cold-pressed. It contains a significant amount of Omega 8, making it highly sought after for treating acne and other skin conditions. The gentle nature of this oil allows for its use in baby care products and children's skincare creams. Safflower oil has a low comedogenic rating, meaning it is lightweight and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Furthermore, it absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving an oily residue.
Tocopherol, also known as vitamin E, is derived from vegetable oil. It is easily absorbed by the skin and offers rejuvenating effects for all skin types. Additionally, vitamin E helps preserve the cream, ensuring its longevity and freshness.
Candelilla wax, a vegan substitute for beeswax, is derived from the Candelilla plant, which thrives naturally in Mexico. The cultivation of this plant adheres to stringent regulations, guaranteeing sustainable harvesting practices. Beyond its role in effectively binding other ingredients, Candelilla wax serves as a protective barrier while effortlessly absorbing into the skin, facilitating optimal efficacy.

I mostly use this balm for my sore nips from breastfeeding but my lips have hugely benefitted from this too, they aren’t dry at all anymore. I also wanted to write this review because this balm is EXCELLENT on my baby’s cradle cap and doesn’t leave his head greasy or sticky but is gentle and effective at removing the flakes whilst keeping it moisturised. I love using obvs products on him knowing they are good for his skin and not full of unnecessary harmful ingredients.
Ah Claire!

I wanted to find a good heavy duty moisturiser for my very dry hands but didn't want anything with paraffin. This is such a great balm and it works even better than the old stuff I used to get on prescription.

After an email to Sian requesting her help she recommended the balm, I have to say I wasn’t sure that it would have any impact on my dry, cracked bleeding lips as nothing had helped as they had been like this for 3months, Imagine my surprise and sheer delight after a couple of weeks they are healed. Thank you Sian this is amazing stuff and I would highly recommend to anyone.

This balm is literally making our breastfeeding journey possible with the relief and healing it’s providing my sore nipples. I was alternating using this, weleda and lanisoh but I’ve stopped using the other 2 and just use this as I don’t find the others give much relief at all and they are so wet and sticky but this just glides on and isn’t wet. I can’t believe how much less painful my nipples are since putting this on after every feed. Absolutely recommend!

Such a great moisturiser for my lips, use now all day :) x

I use this as a lip balm as my lips can crack and bleed particularly in the cold. I am definitely seeing an improvement, it lasts well and my lips are much less sore. I love the texture of it compared to vaseline. I find Vaseline slimy and it doesn’t last very long but this is much thicker but dissolves into my lips as it warms and doesn’t leave that horrible slimy texture that you get with Vaseline. Makes a lovely smooth base for a lipstick too!

We pride ourselves on creating a long-lasting and nourishing product, so it's great to know that it's making a difference for you. And we agree, the texture is much better than Vaseline! We're glad it's working well as a base for your lipstick too. Thanks again for your support and we hope you continue to enjoy using The Organic Balm. Love Sian x
