A minor cut or scrape leaves a small area exposed to friction, contact, and everything else the day puts against it.

Balm Aid is PurBalm's first-aid barrier for minor skin disruption after the area has been cleaned. It creates a thin protective layer without turning the product into a medical treatment claim.

What Balm Aid is built for

Use it on minor cuts, scrapes, and similar small areas where you want a physical barrier between compromised skin and repeated contact. For serious, deep, infected, or heavily bleeding wounds, use appropriate medical care instead.

Why the formula makes sense

Beeswax supplies the barrier structure. Cocoa butter helps the formula spread and remain usable on skin. Eucalyptus-infused oil and tea tree essential oil are included in the formula for this first-aid use case.

Ingredients

Eucalyptus-infused oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, tea tree essential oil.

How to use

Clean the minor area first. Apply a thin layer over the surface and cover with a bandage when appropriate. Reapply when the protective layer has been removed by washing or contact.

Proof to look for

The product should form a thin, continuous barrier over the area. Balm Aid does not claim to cure wounds, prevent infection, replace antibiotics, or substitute for medical care.
