    Storage and Shipping

    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.

    How to use for Best results..

    Apply gently on clean skin until butter turns into oil. Apply 3-5 times daily or use as frequently as needed.

    CUSTOMER FAVOURITE - Mix a small amount of Zinc Magic with Calming Butter in your palm before application. This deeply soothing combo is loved for its instant comfort.

    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.

    We use only the finest natural, ethically sourced ingredients – no artificial preservatives in sight. So that’s everything you need for Your skin and nothing you don’t.

    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.

    FAQ's

    Calming Butter is ideal for dry, sensitive, or reactive skin — including those prone to eczema, irritation, or redness. It’s gentle enough for children, yet effective for adult skin too.
    They are both great!! While some skin types love the Calming Butter, others prefer the thick rich formula of our Rescue Butter. It’s hard to say which one will suit you more.
    Absolutely. Calming Butter is non-comedogenic and can be used on the face, especially on dry patches or irritated areas. Always and always patch test before use to avoid setbacks. Natural doesn’t mean go to for everyone.
    Use as needed — 3-5 times daily for dry or sensitive skin, or as a targeted applications during flare-up periods. A little goes a long way.
    To keep Calming Butter at its best, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. In winters, keep away from the radiator and windowsills. If it warms up, the texture may gently change and become a little grainy — but rest assured, this doesn’t affect its soothing power or effectiveness.
    Yes — like all Drought Secret products, Calming Butter is vegan, cruelty-free, and made with ethically sourced ingredients.

    TSW saving grace

    after suffering for years with my eczema going through tsw this has been the only product to calm my skin! 10/10 i would literally not be able to cope or shower or bath without having this to calm my skin after!! LOVE IT

    The ONLY thing that works.

    We have tried SO many different products but this is the ONLY thing that works to reduce my little one’s eczema. It instantly takes away the inflammation/redness and works wonders along with the calming butter. This has definitely been a game changer for my toddler’s severe eczema. On the second tub and will definitely order more!! The Zinc itself is definitely a magic cream.

    I highly recommend these products to anyone dealing with eczema or dry skin. It's made a noticeable difference for my toddlers eczema. There is still a long way to go but after many months of sleepless nights, pain, and LOTS of tears, I have finally found hope again all thanks to Drought Secret.

    Very good at adding moisture back to dry scaly skin

    I’ve been using this for a couple of months now and honestly been amazing on my babies skin. Just wish it was a bigger quantity cos it runs out so fast.

    Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our Calming Butter Balm! We're happy to hear it has helped add moisture back to your baby's dry skin. Good news is; we have 200ml jars of Calming Butter launching very soon. Thank you for choosing our product!

    We love this stuff

    We have been using the calming butter consistently for our son with moderately severe eczema and have loved it. It’s one of the few products we’ve tried that doesn’t sting his skin when applied. He often asks for it knowing it is soothing. The only bummer is all the ones we recently ordered were clumpy—drought secret gave us directions to resolve it, but it didn’t really resolve it and my son complains when we use “the lumpy one.”
