kānuka & zinc Outdoor Balm

$25.00

Designed with busy parents in mind, this 30g outdoor balm stick delivers rich, mess-free skin barrier protection. Packed with kānuka-infused apricot kernel oil, soothing calendula, and rich shea butter this convenient, push-up stick glides effortlessly onto cheeks, noses, hands & legs (after a quick warm on the skin)

Formulated with 20% non-nano zinc oxide, it creates a gentle, highly water-resistant physical shield to buffer vulnerable skin from the elements without clogging or heaviness. Free from essential oils and artificial fragrances, it is a pure, skin-loving necessity that slips easily into your nappy bag for wild adventures.

Key Benefits:

  • kānuka infusion: A treasured New Zealand botanical traditionally valued for its gentle, calming, and restorative properties on delicate skin.

  • Non-Nano Zinc Oxide: A reef-safe mineral that sits safely on top of the skin to scatter and reflect harsh environmental elements.

  • Calendula infusion: Traditionally used to calm, repair, and reduce dryness or flaking in sensitive skin.

  • Shea Butter & Beeswax: Creates a rich, highly water-resistant moisture shield that holds its shape perfectly in a convenient, travel-friendly twist tube.

Ritual Use: Hold the stick firmly against the skin for a few seconds to let your natural body warmth soften the waxes. Swipe gently across weather-exposed areas—cheeks, nose, ears, and hands—and lightly smooth with fingers to ensure even coverage.

☀️ Handy Hint: To open your stick cleanly without tearing the top, twist the base dial slightly left and right before pulling off the inner clear insert.

Outdoor Balm FAQs

  • Our balm is a 100% natural, water-free barrier stick crafted with native New Zealand kānuka-infused oil and non-nano mineral zinc oxide. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb into the bloodstream, our physical mineral barrier sits safely on top of your baby’s skin to reflect the elements. It contains zero artificial fragrances, preservatives, or essential oils.

  • Yes, our formula is crafted with incredibly gentle, non-irritating botanicals. However, pediatric guidelines state that infants under 6 months old should be kept out of direct sunlight entirely. We recommend using our balm as a protective shield alongside protective clothing, hats, and shade. Always perform a patch test on a small patch of skin before full application.

  • Because we use non-nano zinc oxide—which means the mineral particles are large enough not to absorb into the skin or bloodstream—it will leave a light, protective pale layer. This is actually helpful for parents, as it lets you easily see exactly which spots you have covered and which spots you might have missed!

  • Our formula contains exactly 20% non-nano zinc oxide by weight. While boutique, handcrafted batches are not laboratory SPF tested, a 20% zinc concentration generally aligns with an estimated barrier equivalent of SPF 15 to 20.

  • Yes. Because our recipe is completely water-free and built on a rich base of pure NZ beeswax and shea butter, it naturally repels water and sweat. However, skin friction from swimming, towels, and crawling will wear it down over time. We recommend reapplying at least every 2 hours, or immediately after towel drying.
