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

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.

Directions For Use

Organic Lip Balm

With winter just around the corner, the organic lip balm has been an absolute life saver! As with everything Sian makes, the quality is top tier. Brilliant for vanquishing those pesky dry lips. I’ve tried quite a few brands for lip balm but OBVs has always been my favourite!!! ❤️

Oh Sam, what a wonderful review! 🥹💚 Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support! I'm so pleased the Organic Balm is keeping those pesky dry lips at bay! Customers like you are absolute gems. Thank you for trusting me! Love Sian x

Even my teenagers love it

We keep a tin of this balm in my son's blazer pocket; he has a patch of eczema on his hand and it is the one thing that keeps it calm without the need for medicated creams (and he can apply it while at school.)

But this balm gets used for far more than eczema. Between our two teenage boys, it has become the answer to pretty much everything; chapped lips, dry patches, sore skin, insect bites, you name it. Which tells you everything you need to know about how good it is.
Simple, effective, no unnecessary chemicals. I would not be without it.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Amanda! It’s brilliant to hear that the balm has become such a go-to for your boys—especially that it’s helping your son manage his eczema while he’s at school. Knowing it’s being used for everything from chapped lips to insect bites really makes my day. I’m so pleased that you’ve found a simple, effective solution that your family can rely on.
Love Sian x

Best balm ever

I have the both the small tube and large tin, and want never to be without them. Whoever in this household has dry, chapped, sore skin, needs a protective barrier, or for good old moisturising anywhere on the body - including nails and eyelashes, this lovely stuff works quickly and is a real pleasure to use.

Thank you so much for this, Faye! It’s brilliant to hear that you have both the tube and the tin on hand so you’re never without them. I love that you’re using it for everything from a protective barrier to a bit of care for your nails and eyelashes, that’s exactly what I hoped for when I created it. Thanks for being such a lovely customer!

Organic Balm

My job requires me to wash my hands a lot, so I got a large tin of this balm to act as a barrier and help sooth the eczema on my hands.

I found the balm non-irritating and it leaves a protective film.

A soothing product! - and Sian's customer service is second to none! She has never missed replying promptly to a query and this sets her apart from other skincare brands - Thank you very much!

Thank you so much, Caz. I’m so happy to hear the balm has been soothing and protective for your hands, especially with how often you have to wash them. And thank you for your kind words about my customer service, that really means a lot to me. Thank you! Love Sian x

Huge pot

The smaller pot was out of stock so I went for the larger pot, it will last me for a long time. I will never use vaseline again. This skincare balm is great for everything, cuts, bruises and dry skin! Amazing!

Hi Ellen! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review. I am so happy to hear that you're enjoying our Organic Balm and that the larger pot will last you a long time.

Best Lipbalm

I had a sore lip for two weeks due to a cold. Nothing would soften my lips or help at all. After less than 24 hours of using the Organic Balm, my lips were much smoother and the soreness was starting to fade. A week later and it’s gone completely. I used it on the bottom of my nose too and it really helped me through my cold. An amazing product!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review for our Organic Balm. I am so happy to hear that it has helped soothe your sore lips and even helped with your cold. Thank you for choosing our balm and we hope to continue providing you with great results in the future.

Great product

This is a great on my lips. I use this as an alternative to vaseline as I don't like the ingredients in vaseline. I've also been using it on the eczema on my fingers. It's a great 2 in 1 which is the perfect size to fit in my handbag or pocket. Keeps your skin feeling moisturised and soft.

Best Lip Balm Ever!

Genuinely believe this is the best lip balm ever, and I have tried a lot of different ones. I have used it as part of my bedtime skin care routine and the next day there has been no need for lip balm. I usually suffer with dry lips, but it has kept my lips soft till the next evening. Will be buying again!

Oh wow! Thank you so much for your kind review of our product, The Organic Balm. I am so happy to hear that it has become a staple in your bedtime skin care routine and has effectively kept your lips soft all day. We appreciate your support. Have a wonderful day! Love Sian x

Safe and feels so nice

I'm currently going through my journey of TSW/Red Skin Syndrome and even while on medication for this, anything topical is a complete warzone for my skin both on my general body, and face and lips - but I'm here to say to anyone else going through this or for anyone who has generally insanely sensitive skin, this as a lip balm is incredibly gentle and safe on my own lips and I can't recommend it enough. No reaction on my lips or the skin around my lips, it feels so gentle and safe, and finding anything like this in my current journey is like finding gold.

Will be purchasing more when needed, that's for sure!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review for our Organic Balm. I am so happy to hear that it has been gentle and safe on your sensitive skin and has provided relief during your journey. Your feedback means everything to us and we are grateful for your support.

Throw Away the Vaseline!

I started using The Organic Balm as an alternative to Vaseline. All my life I have been using Vaseline for dry patches and in the place of mascara on my eyelashes. Having decided that I no longer want to cover my face with petrochemicals, I purchased The Organic Balm and oh my goodness, what an amazing product. From the very first use, the dry patches in my eyebrows have disappeared, my lips feel soft and nourished and my eyelashes are curled to perfection!
Thank you Sian x

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! I am so happy to hear that The Organic Balm has been a great replacement for Vaseline for you. Thank you for choosing our product, we greatly appreciate your support. Sian x

So good for dry lips!

I really suffer in winter with dry chapped lips and many lip balms just don't work for me. I wanted something that not only works but meant I wasn't putting petroleum jelly on me! I've been using the organic balm for a few days and I love it, it really works.

Hi Genean! Thank you so much for your review. I am so happy to hear that our Organic Balm is helping with your dry lips, especially during these cold winter months. I completely understand the concern with using petroleum jelly and are happy to provide a natural alternative that works for you. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it continues to bring you relief! Love Sian x

Xmas gift products

I bought some lovely moisturising cream for my son as an Xmas gift, he’s 22 years old and now starting to really look after his skin , much to my delight, so I instantly headed straight to obvs skin care as I know how much love , care and attention to ingredients that Sian puts into all her products, I also purchased the natural soaps too for myself and I wouldn’t go back to shower gels now! Oh and I also have some of the bath salts which smell divine, safe to say I will now be a regular customer of obvs skincare !

Hi Pam! Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so happy to hear that you and your son are enjoying our Organic Balm and other products. I hope to continue providing you with quality skincare and bath essentials. Thank you for choosing Obvs Skincare! Love Sian x

Wouldn’t use anything else

I had my first pot which I used (until I lost). My lips were so sore and I found a lip balm that I had in a well known beauty calendar - used it and it did nothing but make my lips so sore but I was away so had to make do. Came home, ordered another pot of the organic balm and worked almost instantly. I will now only use this balm.

Hi Danielle,

Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so glad to hear the Organic Lip Balm worked its magic on your sore lips and that you’re now a loyal fan. It’s amazing how quickly it can make a difference!

I really appreciate your support, and I’m so happy it’s become your go-to balm.

Thanks again,

This was a life saver when abroad my lips love it

Perfect!

Really pleased with the Obvs Organic Balm. Reassuring to know that it’s completely safe, not leaching nasty chemicals into my skin and works beautifully. I've had a big wake up call since following Obvs… initially I decided to try Obvs face creams because they were vegan and not animal tested and now I’m a convert because I trust the safety and origins of the products. The Organic Balm is just another brilliant alternative to buying products that are less than kind to my skin and the environment. With Obvs, every important ethical box is ticked in my opinion! Thank you Obvs. 🐰🌱🌍

Thank you for your kind words and for choosing The Organic Balm from Obvs! I am happy to know that you are pleased with our product and that it meets your high standards for safety and ethics.

Lots of uses!

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 take this with me everywhere

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.

Organic balm review

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.

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our Organic Balm. We are happy to hear that it has helped with your dry, cracked lips. Our team is always here to help and we are glad that Sian was able to recommend a product that worked for you.

Saving my nipples whilst breastfeeding!

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!

Hi Claire! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that our Organic Balm has been helping you on your breastfeeding journey. Our goal is to provide relief and healing for sore nipples, and we are glad to know that we have been successful in doing so. We appreciate your support and recommendation. Happy breastfeeding!
