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.

RESCUE BUTTER

Learn with us

Our skin is the body's largest mechanical barrier against the external environment and invasion of foreign pathogens. On healthy skin, the skin microbiome and the skin barrier are in a balanced and mutually beneficial relationship. But when the exterior barrier is compromised, it allows the depletion of nutrients an.d entry of foreign microorganisms disrupting the regulation of the skin's physiology.

That is where our ingredients in the Rescue Butter Balm come into action to work for deep skin repair- at the same time, boosting mega moisture and soothing the skin to make it healthier and stronger. It is suitable for those suitable for those with severely dehydarted skin.

This handcrafted formula is full of other praise-worthy botanicals that work synergistically tackling rough and flaky areas of skin, reducing sensations of irritation and tugging.
We use only the finest natural, ethically sourced ingredients – no artificial preservatives in sight. So that’s everything you need for results 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. 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

Rescue Butter is ideal for very dry, parched, sensitive, or reactive skin — including those prone to eczema, irritation, or redness. It’s gentle enough for children, yet effective for adult skin too.
The truth is we cannot comment on that. 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. Rescue Butter is non-comedogenic and can be used on the face, especially on very dry patches or irritated areas. Always and always patch test before use to avoid setbacks. Natural doesn’t mean go to for everyone.
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.
Use as needed — daily 3-5 times for dry or sensitive skin, or as a targeted applications during flare-up periods. A little goes a long way.
Yes — Rescue Butter is vegan, cruelty-free, and made with ethically sourced ingredients.

Rescue 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 it has worked wonders during his flare ups as his skin is very dry on his joints. The rescue butter prevents his skin drying up and getting raw.

I bought this after using the calming butter and zinc and it has worked at keeping most of my sons eczema at bay. He is still having flare ups in areas on his skin. So i am going to carry on with the butters ans zinc and hopefully it will work on these areas in time..

Please read

After suffering with severe TsW, this is hands down the only cream I have used and has actually worked! All 3 of my children suffer with eczema but their skin barrier bas become so so strong, don’t get me wrong they still itch and have seasonal flare ups! But my god, they used to itch for a second and start oozing but thank god we have gotten past that stage. Honestly so grateful for Nurul and her daughter to be the one to save my children as well as so many others 🩷

Product was so great

We’ve been given lots of creams from the GP but nothing ever worked long term with his eczema. We were then recommended this and it has been a game changer! He still has eczema patches but not as much as he had initially but his itching has definitely calmed down a lot.

Great product

We’ve been using the rescue butter for just over 2 weeks and have been really impressed with some of the improvements that we have seen on our 4 months old skin. Within a week, the redness on our baby’s arms and legs improved massively as did the skin on her tummy. I feel you need to be quite consistent with the application as she has had flare ups on days where we haven’t been able to apply as often on areas where she was already suffering with dry/sore skin but the cream really helps to soothe her irritation and we have definitely noticed improvements. We have just ordered another pot as we have almost finished this one and are really pleased with results that we are seeing so far - we’ve used coconut oil, baby creams and emollient creams previously, which all seem to not do much or make it worse and this has become our go to grab!

Gentle, effective and luxurious

Rescue Butter Balm from Drought Secret is fantastic. It’s soothing on my daughters sore, eczema prone skin, smells incredible, and melts in beautifully without feeling heavy. You can tell a lot of care has gone into this product.

Amazing product, definitely worth buying!

I bought a small jar of Rescue Butter back in October, but didn't use it consistently. After Christmas and yet another flare up of psoriasis, I began using it in January, every day, a few times a day. I have just made my second purchase of the large jar as the results have been fantastic! I wish I had taken photos for comparison, but trust me it's worth buying. I have tried all sorts of creams to try to avoid going back to steroids and this is by far the best. Inflammation, dryness and itchiness has been soothed with regular use and my skin is now looking amazing. Thank you drought secret, I will definitely be buying more !

Really happy we found drought secret

Really happy we found drought secret. Wasn’t sure which products would work best for our 8 month old baby but we settled on the calming butter for his face and rescue butter for the body. After using steroids for almost 2 months we stopped all of that and committed to the rescue butter and we have definitely seen an improvement. It doesn’t always happen overnight but with consistent application his skin is much better! We have already repurchased about 5 times! Amazing. Thankyou for making these safe products for our children xx

Drought Secret's Rescue Butter Balm for perioral dermatitis.

I'm 60 years old and I found Drought Secret's Rescue Butter Balm by chance and tried it out of desperation for my inflamed red, dry, blistering, cracking and weeping skin around my mouth and chin area caused by perioral dermatitis, triggered by topical steroid withdrawal. The Butter Balm has been incredible, literally soothing and healing my skin within days of using it. I use it on my entire face as I've always had dry skin anyway, and now it looks and feels beautifully hydrated, smooth, and breakout free. It's not just a rescue balm, it's a miracle balm! I love the fact that it's 100% natural and organic too. In addition I've combined it with the Zinc Magic to ensure moisture is locked in whilst my skin heals, and this has also helped reduce the redness and dryness. It smells beautiful too!

Give it a go..what’s the worse that can happen?

Since hitting the menopause I have had awful red skin patches, that appear on my face, neck, arms and hands. Been seeing different drs for nearly 2 years and getting fed up with buying prescription medication that doesn’t work and every dr telling me it’s something else. The on,y cream that works on my face is a steroid cream, that I’m not ment to be using around my eyes long term.My red marks aren’t itchy or as sore as they look, but they are very,very dry and obviously the ones on my face are just getting me so down…so Drought secret just so happened to pop up on my instagram, I looked into it and did abit of research and read loads of reviews and decided to give it a go..what’s the worse that can happen?!
I applied the Rescue Butter every evening after my bath and started to see a result in just over a week. Slowly but surely I have seen an improvement! And have barely applied the steroid cream at all!
A little goes along way and it smells nice too. The little tub is going to last me a while!
I would totally recommend this balm, it’s natural and it’s currently working for me!

We tried the rescue butter balm recently when my

We tried the rescue butter balm recently when my daughter was having an eczema flare. We saw the difference in DAYS. We didn't have to use her steroid creams to soothe and heal her skin. This along with the zinc magic did wonders.

Amazing for my skin and healing

Amazing for my skin. 3 months ago suddenly I started getting eczema all around my eyes. My eyes were very inflamed, red, itchy. I could not conceal it with my make up. I brought several over the counter cream and tried steroid cream however nothing worked for months! I felt completely down and not myself and lost all confidence. I brought this cream and started using it straight away. My skin around my eyes felt better after 2-3 days of using it. Around day 8 of using the product my skin was slowly healing. The cracks in my skin was starting to heal, the redness was disappearing. The urge to itch started to slowly go away. The skin around my eyes just started to feel better overall and thicker. I will continue to use this product. It has literally saved me and have regained my confidence

Great on areas with thinner skin like face and back of knees

We have been using all 3 balms on my toddler, learning how the rescue balm works compare to calming balm and we find that rescue balm has been great on my toddler’s flare up on thinner skin areas like face and back of knees, calming balm is great on other areas.

The truth of eczema/tsw recovery is never lineal but we are seeing promising signs of recovery that we haven’t been since using drought secret, so we are about to purchase more to continue supporting the healing without going back to the countless creams and steroids that we were prescribed originally that didn’t seem to make much difference as the eczema kept coming back and we felt it was only masking the problem, until now. We are also slowly trying changing the diet whilst supporting the healing process and gut health.

We have been using Zinc magic and rescue butter

We have been using Zinc magic and rescue butter balm on my toddler for around 5 weeks now and my daughter’s skin has never been so clear! We have been steroid free for over 8 weeks now all thanks to these creams! She is constantly going through flare ups with illness and teething but the zinc magic is keeping them manageable and not itchy!
