    WHAT IS IT?

    A deeply nourishing daily moisturising balm formulated in a Shea Butter base specially for dry, sensitive and irritation-prone skin. 

    It's loaded with oat lipids which  are rich in ceramides to help boost intense hydration, alongside Blackseed oil which known for its antioxidant profile. At the heart of the blend is Moringa, often called the “Miracle Tree,” a plant valued for its exceptional nutrient content and long history of use in traditional skincare. 

    This balm can help calm skin, replenish moisture, relieve tightness and discomfort, while supporting the skin’s natural barrier. With continued use, it may also help improve the appearance of post-flare pigmentation and uneven skin tone, leaving skin looking calmer, healthier and stronger.

    How to Store

    To maintain the quality of Drought Secret Balms, store them in a cool, dark place. This helps preserve their beneficial compounds and prevents it from separating.
    Once opened, we recommend using them within 12 months.

    Please note: Our Balms are formulated with natural Oils and Butters due to which each batch may slightly vary in color or smell.
    If one of our balm becomes grainy, first warm them in a slow double boiler method until fully liquefied, making sure no water enters the product, then cool them quickly in the refrigerator to prevent grainy texture as they solidify. Note: Donot heat it in the microwave or on high rapid speed. This can destroy the beneficial nutrients in the balm.

    Learn with us

    The epidermis is the outermost layer of our skin. It is vital in preventing water loss and keeping our skin hydrated. When water content in the epidermis drops below the ideal 10 to 15%, the skin is considered dehydrated. It begins to shrink and crack, and as a result, one is likely to feel uncomfortable and experience symptoms such as loss of elasticity and smoothness, greater sensitivity to environmental stressors and irritants, and increased fine lines and wrinkles.

    Therefore, applying our Calming Butter every few hours elevates moisture levels in the skin, giving skin back its optimum barrier which is needed to function properly.

    HOW TO PATCH TEST?

    In cases where individuals have unknown allergies or sensitivities, patch testing makes it even more important. Patch testing involves applying a small amount of a product to a small area of the skin to check for adverse reactions.

    How to correctly Patch test: Apply a small amount of product to the inner forearm or any area on the body where the skin is clear. Leave the patch on for the recommended duration (usually 24-48 hours) and observe the area for any adverse reactions. If a reaction occurs, such as redness, itching, or swelling, it may indicate a sensitivity or cross-reactivity to the botanical extract.

    Calming butter

    My son has just turned 2 and from 18 weeks suffered awful eczema. Due to his age we had to wait over a year for an allergy test and was prescribed numerous prescription medicines and cream. One night hes scratched himself so badly, his baby grow was covered in blood. We found drought secret and were willing to try anything less evasive and the calming butter has worked wonders during his flare ups,letting him sleep well at night. He prefers the smell and has even started to apply the cream himself. We will continue to buy the product as it doesn't leave his skin discoloured.

    Calming Butter Balm

    We were really struggling to manage our son’s eczema and had become frustrated with relying on steroid creams all the time, so we decided to try Calm Butter Cream as a more natural alternative. We’re so glad we did

    Game changing products!!

    For over a year my little girl has had problems with her mouth/skin. Back and forwards to GP with multiple creams, steroids and antibiotics, nothing worked. It was only masking it short term, it would then come back 10 times worse.
    I then started to search for something else that wouldn’t damage her skin anymore!!!
    Drought Secret to the rescue!!!! WOW!! The change in her skin after only three days was unbelievable. We are using the zinc and calming balm combined and her skin is lovely. No more redness, no more itching. They smell lovely and an added bonus leave no marks on clothes either!
    I sometimes read reviews like this and wonder “could it be THAT good?” The answer is Yes!!

    Use for severe eczema.

    I have severe eczema and I can tolerate these balms without them causing any stinging or burning.
    I do use the balms on their own but I also like to mix some zinc magic with them when the redness and inflammation flare up. If it’s really bad I use the zinc magic on its own.
    All of the balms help to calm my skin.

    Great Products!

    I bought this and Zinc Magic for my son. I mixed a bit of the two products together and within a few days his skin started clearing up. I did have to remove eggs and dairy from my diet for his skin to completely clear up but the picture is just from using the cream. They allowed his skin to start healing

    This stuff has been a godsend

    This stuff has been a godsend. We use it with zinc magic and it's changed my little girls life. We couldn't control her eczema with strong steroids, and now we use this every day and not only has it kept serious flair ups at bay - we've been able to pretty much complete the dairy ladder. It's a miracle product.

    My holy grail!!!

    Since dealing with skin condition over the last two years, I have used this balm since my skin has not been weeping, it honestly saves me. It makes me feel instantly calm - works great with covering with a cotton wrap and letting it do its magic! I have seen amazing results within 2 days when I use this cream. Can’t wait to have the bigger tub!
