The Story of Bottom Balm | Natures Child

The Story of Bottom Balm

2004 - Bottom Balm is born!

I remember our first jar of bottom balm. It was my personal formulation. I chose the richest and most healing ingredients I could imagine but had no idea how to blend it together. A colleague of ours, Christine showed me how to blend and cook it all up. It was so exciting! It seemed so simple and so powerful at the same time. We first rented a commercial kitchen to ensure all materials and the environment was perfect and safe and clean. It was a kitchen used by other organic manufacturers so there would be no chemical contamination. Sometimes I took the extra ingredients from the bottom balm mixture home and experimented with new blends and formulas in my own kitchen. I had no idea it would be this much fun to make bottom balm!  I loved the delicate balance of strictly controlling the ingredients mix. I felt like I was doing something really special. I made sure I was feeling love and excitement, knowing this vibe would also go into the final product. The most exciting part was holding the temperature gauge, making sure it was just perfect. It was so important not to have the product too hot or too cold, all the healing it would be destroyed if i did not have the perfect balance. The mixture would not set right if the temperature was not perfect. The feeling of responsibility was awesome! I just knew how special this bottom balm was going to be. And then….the final, superb moment. The lushness of pouring the mixture into the jar. I LOVE this moment. Within minutes, the mixture was set. I needed a really good rhythm to ensure 300 jars were filled asap! no drips, no mess, and looking perfect in the jars before the mixture had time to set. And then….watching, waiting, it only takes minutes for the bottom balm to set solid, and you see it’s perfect texture. I would gather my kids around to watch at this point and we would all gasp at the perfection. Occasionally, one jar will have a dip in the middle. Thats fine I tell my children (and now i tell you!). It is far more important to have the purest, most beautiful product possible for your bottom, rather than a chemical mix that makes sure there is no bump.

 

These days, we don’t get to experience this joy of the early days. We just feel likek parents in waiting, enjoying each new shipment as it arrives monthly to our store. A wonderful team at a Fully Certified Organic Factory now makes this in bulk for us. The days of the kitchen and the small commercial kitchen are long gone. But every time i see a jar, i know and remember the humble beginnings of the now super famous, purest, most healing and beautiful balm that is loved by so many all over the world. I am a proud mum every time i see a shipment arrive. Thank you to this beautiful Nature’s Child Bottom Balm. I am still loving the journey with you.

Thank you to all of you amazing people who take the time and love to write to us about all the amazing healing ways in which you use Bottom Balm. It is because of you that we created wonder balm. Our second Balm Child is Wonder Balm with the purple label. This was motivated by all of you and finally, the impetus was when my babies who are now teenagers refused to use anything with the word bottom on it once they were old enough! Funny things but they helped me realise this was so important for people. So now we have the equally famous Wonder Balm and here are some of the many uses that you have all told me about over the years that you use Nature’s Child Certified Organic Bottom Balm and Certified Organic Wonder Balm for.

 

Recently our third Balm Child, Nature’s Child Certified Organic Nipple Balm has been created, growing our Certified Organic Balm Family. We purposely made this formula a lot more slippery to make it easy to apply to sore nipples. Shea Butter and evening primrose oil gives it a yummy slippery healing texture that is being loved by healed sore nipples everywhere. Music to our ears! Thanks for all your feedback, it helps us so much which allows us to help you better and better each day.
