“Amazing! My daughter has eczema and nothing seemed to clear it for the past 2 years. Until I tried this and within a few days I noticed dramatic differences. I have also used this on my own skin. My skin feels amazing.”
Balmonds Skin Salvation has for years been dubbed ‘magic in a tub’ for those with eczema and sensitive skin but it has now officially been recognised as a medical treatment that you can use. Parents have raved about the product, which some insist is the only thing that works on their little ones, and it’s now getting recognition.
Skin Salvation is the first 100% natural moisturiser to have achieved the classification of a Class 1 Medical Device for eczema, which means that it is said to be a safe, effective treatment for the chronic conditions of eczema and psoriasis. The ‘miracle balm’ is made exclusively of nine natural raw ingredients that work together to give the ‘magic’ touch to sensitive skin.
It uses olive oil, safflower seed oil, hemp seed oil, calendula flower extract, chamomile flower extract, chickweed extra and nettle extract for their hydrating and skin soothing properties. Protective beeswax is used to lock in moisture and help maintain the healthy function of the skin barrier. It’s suitable for all skin types although it’s recommended to only use one those six weeks old or more. It is a recognised treatment but we would always advise patch-testing any new skincare product before applying everywhere.

It’s pulled in an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars based on 3182 reviews. One shopper said: “Amazing miracle in a little tub. Amazing product. Could see results next day.
“My son has severe eczema. Have tried everything on the market. From steroid creams to bath powders. Nothing seems to work long-term. This cream cleared the really dark patches and kept the skin moisturised.”
A second penned: “Magic. I used the skin salvation on some dry skin on my nose as a result of blowing my nose from a cold. And I could see an improvement after just one use! I’d go as far as saying the dry skin is completely gone!”
A third wrote: “Amazing! My daughter has eczema and nothing seemed to clear it for the past 2 years. Until I tried this and within a few days I noticed dramatic differences. I have also used this on my own skin. My skin feels amazing.”
A fourth added: “If it’s sore, if it’s dry, this emollient really is a life saver. I’ve been using it throughout topical steroid withdrawal and it hasn’t irritated my skin. I would highly recommend to anyone with dry sensitive skin looking for a natural, safe alternative.”
Although thousands of people have sworn by the product, it’s not for everyone. One person wrote: “Not great for my eczema to be honest. My eczema is mega scabby and I wouldn’t say the salvation remedy world for it.” Balmonds did promptly reply informing them that if they’re not satisfied they do offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.
Other balms on the market can be used to soothe sore skin such as Jeunvie’s £34.99 balm or Bria’s £15.95 baby balm. You can buy Balmond’s Skin Salvation from £9.
