ROOFA Mom and Baby Balm 50ml

ROOFA Mom and Baby Balm with Shea Butter and Calendula, 50 ml. A rich balm from Roofa Spain's mom and baby line, built on shea butter and calendula. It is the same pot for both of you: on a baby it goes where the skin is covered, rubbed or dry, and on a mother it goes on the chest and belly through pregnancy and after, and on hands that are washed too often.

• Ingredients: Shea butter, which helps soften skin and retain moisture; Calendula flower extract, the marigold extract traditionally used on skin that is easily irritated; Coconut oil and sunflower seed oil, which carry the butter and leave a protective film; Rice wax, which is what makes this a balm rather than a cream; Vitamin E.
• Where to use: Skin folds and the nappy area, where moisture and rubbing meet; Dry patches on cheeks, hands and feet; A mother's chest and belly during pregnancy, and anywhere the skin feels tight.
• How to use: Take a thin layer on a clean finger - a balm goes further than a cream, so start with less than you think; Massage it in gently until it is fully absorbed; Apply it twice a day.
• Cautions: Roofa's own instruction is not to use it on a baby under three months without asking the paediatrician first. Shea butter and calendula are both plant ingredients that a small number of people react to, so put a little on one patch and leave it a day before using it widely, particularly on a baby. For external use only; keep it away from the eyes and mouth. Close the lid after each use and keep it out of direct heat so the texture stays even. Stop using it if the skin looks irritated, and ask a pharmacist or doctor if that does not settle. Keep out of reach of children.
