As featured in
The heroes in this formula
the key ingredients doing the work, and what each one does.
Mondo grass
A botanical extract used to soothe and hydrate, with barrier-supporting properties for dry and sensitive skin. It contributes to the balm's focus on comforting and reinforcing compromised skin.
Niacinamide
One of the most versatile and best-researched skincare actives. It supports the skin's production of ceramides and strengthens the barrier, reduces water loss, helps even tone and texture, calms redness and can help regulate oil.
Colloidal Oatmeal
A recognised skin-protectant ingredient and one of the most valued soothers for reactive skin. It calms irritation, supports the barrier and is a firm favourite for eczema-prone and very dry skin.
Shea Butter
A rich, nourishing butter high in fatty acids and naturally occurring vitamins. It works as an emollient softening rough, dry skin, cushioning the barrier and helping to slow moisture loss. Ideal for the most dry areas like knuckles, heels and elbows.
Cocoa butter
A rich, occlusive-emollient butter high in fatty acids and antioxidants. It seals in moisture, softens rough skin and adds lasting protection, for intensive body care on very dry skin.
Pro-Vitamin B5
It deeply hydrates, improves suppleness, and is one of the best-studied ingredients for supporting the skin barrier and reducing transepidermal water loss. Soothes skin that feels dry, tight or sore.
Allantoin
A soothing, calming agent that helps skin feel comfortable and look smoother. It supports gentle cell turnover and has a protective, anti-irritant effect, which makes it a mainstay in products for sensitive, dry or damaged skin.

FAQs
What is in Ultra Caring Body Balm, and what does each part do?
Mondo Grass helps restore the skin's natural barrier. Niacinamide helps support and condition the skin. Colloidal oatmeal calms dry, reactive skin. It is rich but non-greasy, fast-absorbing, fragrance free and Consultant Dermatologist Approved.
What skin concerns is it made for?
It is an intensive moisturiser for very dry and sensitive body skin, and is suitable for skin prone to eczema. Customers also reach for it for menopausal dryness and generally very dry legs, arms and body.
Can I use it if I have eczema or psoriasis-prone skin?
It is suitable for sensitive and eczema-prone skin and is fragrance free, which helps reduce the risk of irritation. Patch test first, avoid broken or weeping skin, and speak to your GP or dermatologist about a diagnosed condition or one that is not settling.
How and when should I apply it?
Apply daily and massage in until absorbed. It works best on slightly damp skin straight after a shower or bath, when it can help trap moisture. For external use only.
How long does a pot last and when will I see a difference?
With daily use a pot lasts around 60 days. Skin generally feels more comfortable and less tight within 3-7 days, with the barrier-supporting benefits building over consistent daily use.
Is it suitable during or after cancer treatment, when skin can be very dry?
Many people use gentle, fragrance free moisturisers for the dryness that can come with treatment. Because everyone's treatment and skin are different, please check with your care team before use.
