Dermatitis: soothing reactive, irritated skin

Dermatitis simply means inflamed skin – and whether it is brought on by contact with an irritant, an allergy, or no obvious cause at all, the result is the same: red, itchy, uncomfortable skin that wants to be left alone.

There are several forms of dermatitis. Contact dermatitis flares when skin meets an irritant or allergen – soaps, metals, fragrances, cleaning products. Seborrhoeic dermatitis tends to affect oilier areas like the scalp and face. Whatever the type, the priority is the same: calm the irritation and protect the skin barrier.

The first step is often removing whatever is triggering it. The second is giving the skin a gentle, supportive environment to settle – which means avoiding the very fragrances, preservatives and harsh chemicals that so many mainstream products still contain.

Rescue Balm is deliberately simple: 24 natural waxes, butters and oils and nothing else. For skin that reacts to everything, simple is often exactly what is needed.

Rescue Balm was made for exactly this kind of skin – gentle, natural and designed to soothe.

Rescue Balm is a natural skincare product, not a medicine. If your symptoms are severe, spreading or infected, please speak to a GP or pharmacist.
