Our most hydrating calendula balm

Calendula and Marshmallow Balm is the one we keep in our handbags: an unfragranced balm for very dry, cracked, chapped or rough skin, for adults, children and babies from 4 weeks. Marshmallow root softens and hydrates like no other herb we've found, and calendula soothes. Handmade by women in Somerset with homegrown and locally grown herbs.

It contains no water, so it needs no preservatives or emulsifiers.

Gold at the Green Parent Natural Beauty Awards for Baby Balm (2020, 2022) and Breast Care (2026)

Loved for

  • Hands that are often in water or hard at work: hairdressers, cleaners, gardeners and builders
  • Lips, cuticles, heels, elbows and hard skin on feet
  • Breastfeeding: use it as a nipple balm, with no need to wash it off before feeding
  • Mum's tum, tattoos, and heat rash or nettle rash on a day out

It's popular with customers whose skin is prone to eczema or psoriasis, and with those whose skin is dry after radiotherapy or chemotherapy. See the reviews below.

Contains organic beeswax, so it isn't vegan.

Ingredients

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oil*, Orbignya Oleifera (Babassu) Oil*, Cera Alba (Beeswax)*, Borago Officinalis (Borage) Oil*, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Oil, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E, gluten free), Calendula Officinalis (Marigold) Flower Extract, Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Root Extract*

How To Use

  • Use sparingly: it's undiluted, so warm a little between your fingers and smooth it in.
  • On very dry or cracked skin: apply as often as you need to.
  • For extra comfort and protection: apply the balm first, then layer Zinc and Calendula Cream over it. See how the sandwich technique works.
  • When breastfeeding: apply after feeds. There's no need to wash it off before the next one.

    Little pot of wonder!😍

    Truly a little pot of magic!😍 Suddenly developed sore, dry and flaky skin on one eyelid. Contacted Lyonsleaf who were super helpful and suggested I try this balm. No stinging or reaction at all when I applied it and it soothed the soreness immediately. After a few applications the dry skin was noticeably reduced. It has now become my daily moisturiser. Have been recommending this company and it's amazing products to all my friends! Thank you so much Lyonsleaf!🙏🏻

    Great product

    Great product, deeply moisturising. The 30ml jar is a bit difficult to get the balm from, a small spatula would be useful.

    Great products. I highly recommend for dry skin.

    I like the products. I have extremely dry skin. I always apply to slightly wet face, or use tide water first to moisten. Before applying. I do this several times a day. Feels good, improves the look of your skin, but it will not deal with wrinkles. wrinkles

    Excellent ointment for managing atopic/allergic eczema

    Excellent ointment for managing atopic/allergic eczema. Trying to move away from water/petroleum based emollients prescribed by the NHS or available on the high street, mostly owned by large, controversial corporations. Calendula and Marshmallow Balm even promotes the fast healing of athletes foot and blisters.

    Calendula/Marshmallow Balm

    I have been using the BeautyBalm and the Calendula and Marshmallow Balm for 2 months now and my skin feels noticeable less dry and more comfortable. Breakouts due to menopausal skin changes have reduced.
    I am very happy with this company's skincare range so far and will try some of their other products as well.

    Wonder Balm!

    I work as a gardener and in the winter time I suffer quite badly with chillblains on my fingers and toes. The Calendula and Marshmallow Balm is a wonderful, natural remedy for them. I use it before I go to bed and it stops the itching and calms the inflammation. A bit of a wonder balm and I highly recommend it.

    This balm is life changing

    This balm is life changing. My daughter had recurrent eczema under her eyes when ever she caught a cold or virus, and this cream cleared it up completely. Plus just a little of this balm every time it looks like it is coming back, stops it in its tracks! We love this balm in our house. My husband also uses it for his skin which is also sensitive and I have even managed to sort out my dry hands with it. I’ve stocked up on jars so we always have some in the house. Love it love it!!

    FAQs

    How Quickly do you despatch?

    We despatch orders Monday to Friday and we always dispatch the same working day (if ordered before 12 noon) or the following working day.

    Will my skin react to Lyonsleaf Products

    Our products are all 100% natural and free from all artificial chemicals. Because they are water free we can even avoid antimicrobial preservatives and emulsifiers. For this reason it is very unusual for anyone to react to our products at all. However some people are sensitive to essential oils, so if you are super-sensitive please choose unfragranced product options. Even less common, it is possible to be allergic to calendula and other herbs, so it is always important to do a patch test. In the unlikely event that you do have an adverse reaction, you can return your product for a full refund. We also sell samples of most products so you can try before you invest in a big pot.

    Why is the pot so small?

    Lyonsleaf products are water free and contain only the finest, plant oils, butters natural waxes and mineral ingredients. Most high Street products are up to 80% water, which means you need to apply them much more liberally and frequently. You will find you only need to use Lyonsleaf products very sparingly to achive good hydration that lasts all day. Products that are rich in soothing herbs can be used more frequently to achieve the best calming effect, but they still only need to be used sparingly. So these little pots go a long way, using less packaging and less transportation resources.

    Are Lyonsleaf products vegan?

    Much of the Lyonsleaf range is vegan, but we do use organic beeswax in some products. When it came to choosing a suitable wax, we decided it would be better for the environment to choose a farming method that promotes pollinators rather than a vegetable mono-crop that causes deforestation and loss of habitat. We only use organic beeswax as organic farming standards require farmers to have high welfare standards for Bees.
