Created for My Baby. Shared with Yours.

As a mum of four, I thought I’d tried it all. Every cream, ointment, and so called “tried and true” remedy that promised to soothe delicate skin. But when my youngest, Banksy, developed a severe, bleeding rash, nothing worked. Each nappy change was agony, and every product I reached for only gave fleeting relief.

Out of sheer desperation, I turned to something I already used myself: organic wildcrafted sea moss gel. The results were incredible; his skin began to settle and calm. But there was a problem: you can’t leave a baby sitting in something wet all day. Constant dampness against broken skin only worsens irritation and creates the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive.

That’s when I introduced another powerhouse: Australian grass-fed, grass-finished tallow. Rich in skin-identical fats and vitamins, it blended with sea moss to create something truly different a balm that didn’t just soothe, but protected, cushioned, and supported his fragile skin barrier.

That first jar became more than relief. It became Banksy Bum Balm a multifunctional cream safe enough for the tiniest newborns, but powerful enough to care for mums during pregnancy and postpartum. It’s the balm that started it all.

Why Tallow

At the heart of Banksy Bum is South Coast Australian grass-fed, grass-finished tallow. Raised on open pastures, this tallow is richer in nutrients and integrity than anything industrial farming can produce.

Tallow is naturally packed with skin-identical lipids and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. These nutrients don’t just sit on the skin — they integrate seamlessly with the skin barrier, helping it perform at its best.

Benefits for delicate skin:

• Barrier Repair: Restores essential lipids to lock in moisture and keep irritants out.

• Nourishment: Delivers bioavailable vitamins that feed skin at a cellular level.

• Soothing: Calms redness and irritation caused by friction or frequent wiping.

• Safe Hydration: Moisturises deeply without clogging pores, even for newborn skin.

Why Sea Moss

Sea moss is known as the ocean’s superfood, delivering over 92 trace minerals. In skincare, it provides both protection and performance the reason it calmed Banksy’s skin in the first place.

Benefits for skin:

• Protective Film: Forms a breathable, natural veil that locks in moisture.

• Hydration: Acts as a humectant, drawing and holding water in the skin for plumpness.

• Soothing: Settles inflamed, irritated, or rash-prone skin.

• Healing Support: Minerals like zinc, magnesium, and iodine aid repair.

• Anti-Bacterial Properties: Naturally helps inhibit harmful bacteria, key for rash-prone areas.

Where tallow restores, sea moss protects a perfect partnership for fragile skin.

The Role of Castor Oil

We include organic, cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil for its gentle but effective emollient qualities:

• Moisture Lock: Prevents water loss without suffocating skin.

• Softening: Smooths dry patches and delicate folds.

• Glide Factor: Improves balm spread for easy application, reducing tugging on inflamed skin.

• Barrier Boost: Works alongside tallow to enhance comfort and resilience.

Vitamin E & Integrity-Driven Ingredients

Alongside our hero ingredients, we include high-quality, natural vitamin E. As a potent antioxidant, vitamin E helps protect delicate skin lipids from oxidative stress, supports barrier repair, and improves skin texture over time.

But it’s not just about what we use it’s about why. Every ingredient in Banksy Bum Balm is integrity-drive, organic everywhere possible, locally sourced when available, and always included with clear purpose. There are no fillers, no shortcuts, and no marketing extras. Just honest, powerful ingredients that deliver results.

Why We Put a Natural Preservative in On Purpose

That’s why we put a preservative in on purpose because when delicate skin is already open or inflamed, the last thing it needs is bacteria from a dirty nappy slowing its recovery. Nappies create the perfect warm, damp environment for bacteria and yeast to thrive. When mixed with wee and poo, that growth accelerates irritation, deepens redness, and prolongs discomfort.

By including a natural preservative made from fermented radish root, we help protect the balm (and the skin it’s used on) from that added bacterial load. This doesn’t replace the need for clean, dry changes — but it ensures that every layer of balm applied is as safe and gentle as the first.

Why it matters:

• Defends against bacterial growth that worsens irritation in already fragile skin.

• Helps delicate skin recover faster, by keeping the balm itself fresh and clean.

• Plant-based & gentle as it is derived from fermented radish root, safe enough for newborns and sensitive skin.

• Practical for real life because little fingers will always dip in the jar, and we want that jar to stay safe.

Prevention Is Protection

In my 16 years of parenthood with children who have sensitive skin, I’ve learned that prevention is always the best form of protection. Keeping skin in prime condition, especially in eczema-prone areas, means fewer flare-ups, less discomfort, and stronger barriers overall.

That’s why I made sure Banksy Bum Balm isn’t just about soothing after the fact but it’s about keeping skin resilient day after day. Used regularly, it helps maintain balance, reduce dryness, and protect against the triggers that cause irritation in the first place.

Beyond the Bum: Pregnancy & Postpartum

What began as a nappy-rash balm quickly became a favourite for pregnant bellies and postpartum skin. The nutrient-dense oils, sea moss, and vitamin E work together to:

• Support stretching skin as bellies grow.

• Soften and hydrate to improve elasticity.

• Aid recovery by nourishing areas prone to stretch marks.

• Calm sensitivity when skin feels tight or reactive.

Safe, fragrance-free, and essential-oil-free, it’s a daily ritual for mothers who want care that is as gentle as it is effective.

Even for Pets

Many of our families also use Banksy Bum Balm on their pets and for good reason. The same nutrients that make it safe for newborns make it perfect for paw pads, rough noses, and dry patches on four-legged friends. Every ingredient is food-safe and non-toxic, giving peace of mind with every application.

Perfected Over Time

What started as one desperate blend has been nurtured, tested, and refined. Over the past three and a half years, we’ve perfected this balm adjusting until every element worked in harmony. The result is a cream that is not only safe, but powerful, reliable, and beautifully effective for delicate, sensitive, and hardworking skin.

More Than a Balm

Banksy Bum Balm is our master formula. The starting point. The proof that skincare can be both minimal and mighty. With no essential oils, no fillers, and no unnecessary extras, it remains the perfect option for those who want essential-oil-free care without sacrificing results.

Every ingredient has purpose. Every choice is deliberate. What began as a mother’s answer to her baby’s pain has grown into a multifunctional cream trusted across families, life stages, and even species.
