DermaGen Propolis Balm is a hydrating balm, with a mild scent of botanical resins and oils. It forms a layer over the skin and prevents the evaporation of moisture so skin feels hydrated over a longer period of time. It is free from alcohol and preservatives, so won't sting open, broken or sensitive skin.
For more irritated or areas with broken skin from scratching, the balms are still the best as they don't contain any preservatives, acids or alcohol that can sting or irritate sensitive or broken skin.
If the affected area is wet or oozing, or on the diaper area, you can also add a layer of Zinc Oxide cream.
For areas that need more calming and hydration, apply a few drops of the Active Serum 8 which has a higher concentration of Manuka Oil and other calming and soothing oils.
If allergic to pollen please use the Manuka Oil Balm.
Propolis is a generic name of a mixture of resinous substances collected by honeybees from parts of plants, buds, and plant exudates, mixed with their saliva, and beeswax. It contains a mixture of flavonones, flavones, low phenolic acids, and their esters which have antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, antioxidant, antifungal and regenerative properties.
Manuka Oil improves the appearance of skin by providing the antioxidants to repair, renew and regenerate, even old acne scars, or new open sores. Manuka Oil also helps sores or broken skin to heal, such as in eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis where the skin is irritated, sensitive, dry, itchy, peeling, or broken, in the scalp or anywhere else on the body.
Manuka Oil has long been known for its natural healing, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, soothing skin irritations, reducing redness and inflammation, while also supporting skin renewal and rejuvenation with it's high antioxidant levels. It decreases the allergic response without increasing the inflammatory response, which is really useful for inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis, sun-damaged skin, and sensitive or irritated skin.
Ingredients:
Olive Oil, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Manuka Oil (Leptospermum Scoparium), Calendula Extract, Micronised Propolis, Lemon Eucalyptus Oil, Vit E.
Directions:
Apply twice a day on to affected area.
Can cover with a clean dressing if required. For symptoms of eczema or dermatitis, a dressing can be highly beneficial to help increase absorption, minimise scratching and product getting rubbed off to clothes or sheets. Best used with a dressing if the area is quite significant, as the dressing is light, breathable, re-usable and helps to prevent the child from scratching and the product is absorbed better (rather than rubbing off on clothing or bedding). For larger surface areas or areas like the face, body or limbs, the Manuka Oil Cream would be better as it comes in a bigger volume and spreads easily.
