Parent results are from a survey of 30 Australian families who used Shield Balm for 2 weeks before launch, and are self-reported, not a clinical trial.

BAEBY SCIENCE

HOW SHIELD BALM WORKS

Think of skin like a brick wall. Skin cells are the bricks and natural fats are the mortar. When the mortar runs low, moisture escapes more easily and irritants can get in.

CALM

Our Gentle 7 Asian Botanical Complex, including Centella, Licorice Root and Green Tea, helps calm skin that feels irritated.

NOURISH

Shea butter and a blend of sunflower, castor and soybean oils help replenish the natural fats that support the skin barrier.

PROTECT

A light layer helps lock in moisture and protect skin from rubbing, weather and dribble.

BAEBY BRAINS

Baby skin is thinner and loses moisture faster than adult skin, so supporting the skin barrier with simple, well-formulated care is a sensible place to start.
