How Can Natural Balms Help With Baby Skin - Eczema, Cradle Cap, And Diaper Rash?

Parents want calm skin without the guesswork, and that’s exactly where we start. Baby skin is thin, fast‑absorbing, and easily irritated, so we break down a safe path: fewer ingredients, no fragrances, and slow herbal infusions that actually soothe. We explain why a simple balm made from shea butter, cocoa butter, and oils infused with chamomile and calendula can outpace flashy formulas—especially when you apply it consistently three times a day during flares.

As kids move into toddler years, triggers become obvious. We share real‑world examples of food sensitivities and fragranced products causing rapid rashes, plus a straightforward strategy to isolate what’s causing trouble. You’ll hear how our 12‑week infusion process avoids essential oils while still delivering calming plant compounds, why neem can support cracked skin in adults, and how barrier‑focused care helps itchy patches, bug bites, and stubborn dryness settle down.

The surprise hero of the episode is cradle cap care. Instead of coating the scalp in oils that linger, we make the case for pure coconut oil soap as a focused daily cleanse. Combined with clean gauze to gently lift buildup, this approach took healing from months to weeks for our family and customers. We finish with an everyday diaper rash routine you can actually keep: frequent changes, careful drying, then a thin layer of unscented balm to shield skin from moisture and friction. If you’re ready to simplify, rebuild the barrier, and get consistent results across baby, toddler, and adult skin, this one’s for you.

If this helped, follow the show, share it with a parent who needs a win, and leave a quick review so more families can find gentle, effective skincare advice.

From flaky scalps to irritated bottoms, baby skin needs extra love. Let's talk about how natural balms can soothe, protect, and restore. Welcome back, everyone. I am Millie M, co-host and producer, back in the studio with Trang Wen, founder of CVA Products. How's it going? Good. How are you? Doing well. I know this one hits close to home, so let's dive into how natural balms can help with baby skin issues like eczema, cradle cap, and diaper rash.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, so let's talk about baby. So you know, baby, they are different. Their skin is very like light. They don't have like a thick skin. So when their skin is super light, there's not much that you can use on them. And their skin also absorbs a lot of uh moisturizer faster than us. So when we're talking about baby, we have to use something very light, like the balm, uh, when you find their very, very faithful. And the skin is also sensitive, so um you cannot use anything with scented in there. It doesn't matter if you're using like uh frame and oil or essential oil, baby, you just cannot use any of that because it would trigger the skin. So if the baby has um like eczema, let's say, um, you have to find a product uh or even a lotion with no um preservative in there because it can trigger the skin. Anything um like to do with cocoa butter or any butter, any shea butters, um um any and a mix with bee wax or any wax in there and then any oil and you just rub it on the skin, it helps to moisturize, that's would be the best thing. Um, so that's baby. Now, when we get into like toddler, uh kids, uh stage, their skin is a little bit thicker. I call it thicker, but they do get thicker. Um, normally at that stage, you can see um the reaction clearer and faster. Like I have two toddlers and then I have adult, uh, I don't know, like kids. I think big kids. Um, so like my daughter when she has eczema, it turned from like baby, I can't see anything because it's just baby. But when she turns to a toddler, I can see like she has rashes and you can identify clearly with the rashes, like okay, you have bum, retinous, itchiness. The the the first way you can tell is like, okay, when you put serif on the skin, it will you can see the reaction right way. Even with my son, if he um like eats my seafood, he will have rashes and hide everywhere in his body. And you can see literally white fibro bumps. And so when they do have that, I do have a suiting bomb that I made um that can that works from baby always to adult with what we have uh in there. We have um cocoa butter, shea butter, uh and then they also infuse um the oil with chamomile and chamber. Normally essential oil in there to boot up the effect a little bit. I don't because um I want people with baby also can use it. So I do the only way I infuse it, infuse it takes a little bit longer because I do it with herbs. So for me, it takes about 12 weeks for me to infuse like the small batches. And then once infusion is ready, then I just uh combine it with the uh butter and um then turn into a bomb. And then when it becomes a bomb, whenever time that my daughter and my son have rashes or not just eczema itself, I just rub it on there three times a day. It lasts longer and it also helps to control the um itchiness um as well as blood bites. Somehow it worked with blood biceps. Okay. And then the key thing with candle and chamomile is that it helped to um control the itchiness, it's helped to calm down uh the flare, and it's also helped to reduce the uh inflammatory. Um it's not medical tested, but it that's how you know the earth is just a natural way to help it. And then when again, when we get into adulthood, um we have the skin is kind of severe because we kind of like an adult, our skin is getting thicker and it's not like baby, where it's easy to moisturize, and we need kind of layer on top of layers. And so uh not only we have um dry skin, which is where you have it. Some adults we do have severe dryness uh on top of the eczema. You can use a seating bomb as well. Uh the soothing is I've seen some people on the eczema eye and trying to like crack and let's say crack was bleeding, it's not just uh five and rashes, it's just crack itself. Um you're still applying it, so uh what you do we can go in like once green ace was uh crack, it can go up to seven days. But if you use it consistently three times a day, it was in the middle of the day, it would take about seven days for it to actually heal it on its own. Now, if you ask me why it's like that, I have no idea. But I can tell you the oil that we're using, one of them, the key one is anem oil, it's antibacteria. And then the chamoman calola is um also um a key thing to help to heal the crab much faster instead of going to um using like steroid, which I I'm not really a fan of that. So eczema is one thing, um, and then cradle cap is another thing. Uh I can tell you cradle cap, there's no treatment for it. Um my son had it as a baby, especially if my kid had when I was a baby and I was struggling with my food fit. There's really no treatment. I tried on oil stuff, I change it left and right. Um, but when my youngest son had it, I really using what I had in the past uh to help my son. And it's really simple. The creative cup, it's just coconut for some reason. Uh uh it sounds well funny, but it's the truth. Um, you just have to use I'm not talking about coconut oil, you put it on your scalp and you No, it's not that. You have to actually buy a coconut soap, a bar soap, a hundred percent pure coconut soap, and you use it daily to wash like my son had it on his scalp, so he I we wash it on his hair daily basis, and it cut down the amount of cradle cap. Um, because I remember when my oldest they got the cradle cap, it takes them six months to heal it, but that's on top of um prescription list steroid back then because we don't know what it was. But for my youngest, when we don't use any medication, it cut down from six months to three weeks. And I do have a few customers, their baby also had cradle cap, and we um gave them the coconut soap and we have some towel. It sounds a bit harsh um where you not just wash your hair with coconut soap, uh, but you have to uh clean it like using a gauze and try to make sure that the spot is clean and sanitized and don't get it contaminated because that's the only way to keep the bacteria away. If you don't do it, um even you try to coconut soap, it won't work the way it's supposed to be because all these um uh it's not a flakes, but it's some kind of bacteria, it's like oozy bacteria thing. It needs to be cleaned daily. Um and it's painful, but you have to do it. But instead of dealing with like six months, it's only cut down to three months, uh three three weeks.

SPEAKER_02:

Fast results. Fast results and same for the same balm that you use for the eczema. Do you use that for diaper rash too?

SPEAKER_01:

Oh yes, uh you do. So diaper rash is basically when you wear a diaper, um a lot of moisturizer builds up uh in the diaper, and some kids um allergic to the diaper. I know my they do. Um if they wear a long time, they he has like heights on on the you know, like rashes. So I put the bomb, um, rub it on there. Uh it's like about a couple hours. Um, it's not like actually might take a long time. So when the rashes come up, uh my my husband just put it on there and it takes about a couple hours and it goes away. And it's moisturized and it's keep the the ooze, not the ooze, like the little um rashes I hive kind of like under control and it went away. It's not itchy like it's supposed to be.

SPEAKER_02:

Um you just use it every time um you change their diet.

SPEAKER_01:

I use it every time. Right.

SPEAKER_02:

I really appreciate that training. Such helpful breakdown for parents and caregivers to make sure that their baby skin stays soft and supple. We'll see you next time. All right, thanks.
