Zinc Magic Balm

Zinc Magic Balm

SEAL, SOOTHE & PROTECT

Award Winning paste-like balm crafted with 40% Zinc Oxide — one of the highest strengths found in any product in the UK. It  seals the skin by forming a protective shield and blocking out irritants, making it ideal for reactive or compromised skin. Designed as a versatile skin barrier balm to protect, soothe, and repair, this multi-use balm is a go-to for over a dozen common skin concerns you could think of. Ideal for those who may be prone to Eczema, psoriasis, Topical Steroid Withdrawal and more.

The addition of organic neem, lemongrass, and thyme not only complements the barrier-forming properties of zinc but supports further healing without clogging pores.

40% zinc oxide means Zinc Magic might leave a gentle white cast — a sign of serious skin protection and the highest natural strength available. The high percentage also means it's potent, protective power works hard for your skin.

Storage & 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.

ZINC MAGIC BALM

How to use for Best results..

Due to its high Zinc content, Zinc Magic may feel drying on some skin types. This balm is very adaptable and pairs beautifully with our Butter Balms for a more balanced, deeply effective result. 

Go ahead and use thinly or thickly on it's own as desired. You just need the tiniest bit of it, remeber little goes a really long way. Or try this below.

BEST ADVICE - Apply a thin layer of Zinc Magic 1–3 times daily directly over areas where Calming Butter or Rescue Butter has been applied. No need to rinse off — just layer and let it work.

CUSTOMER FAVOURITE - Mix a small amount of Zinc Magic with either Rescue Butter or Calming Butter in your palm before applying. This method is loved for delivering intense comfort, without the dryness — and with even better results.

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 other 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.

Fungal Rash & Eczema Saviour!

In the middle of a fungal infection, for which GP prescribed treatments only made it worse, I stumbled across drought secret. This treatment in combo with rescue butter applied ontop, literally performed magic on my skin. It cleared quickly, has stayed clear on my face and is my go to for arm and wrist eczema now. I also use it on my children with fab results. A much cleaner and more potent alternative to the likes of sudocrem. Thank you! I'll keep recommending you.

Amazing!

I suffer from discoid eczema. Have spent alot of money on all sorts of creams. Nothings worked except this. The rescue balm sealed with the zinc cream has helped heal my skin and alow the spots to release the discharge and heal! I believe the zinc helped stopped the itching and helped the spots to release discharge. So glad I've found something that's worked.
