Effective Natural Skincare for Perioral Dermatitis
Customers dealing with perioral dermatitis frequently choose our Clean and Clear Natural Skincare System. For those with very sensitive skin — which is often the case — we recommend the version that includes the Unfragranced Beauty Balm.
A Simple, Multi-Use Routine
The Beauty Balm, available in both fragranced and unfragranced options, serves as a cleanser, moisturiser, and primer within the system. After cleansing, apply Zinc and Calendula Cream to any affected areas. While the zinc oxide can leave a temporary white cast, many customers still prefer this cream for managing perioral dermatitis. If the appearance is a concern, you can opt for the Calendula and Marshmallow Balm, which offers similar benefits without the zinc oxide.
Worried About the White Finish?
To neutralise the white cast of the Zinc and Calendula Cream, blend it with our Mineral Foundation. Mix in the palm to create a custom-tinted, natural liquid foundation — or apply the powder directly over the cream using a kabuki or powder brush. Once you’ve got the technique down, this makes for an excellent non-irritating, anti-inflammatory concealer or foundation that suits sensitive skin.
Why Lyonsleaf is a Better Choice
Unlike steroid creams — which are known to cause perioral dermatitis — our calendula-based products are calming, non-comedogenic, and support a healthy skin barrier. Every product from Lyonsleaf is designed to lock in moisture and protect against external irritants. Switching to oil cleansing with Beauty Balm is a particularly effective way to restore barrier function.
All Lyonsleaf skincare is 100% natural and contains no artificial chemicals, preservatives, or emulsifiers.

Topicals Help — But They’re Not the Whole Story
While topical products can calm symptoms, they aren’t a cure. We always encourage customers to dig deeper into potential root causes. Visit our Natural Perioral Dermatitis Treatment page for lifestyle, diet, and supplement suggestions that may help.
A Final Note
If you’re experiencing persistent skin issues, speak to a doctor or dermatologist. Be informed about what you apply — knowing your ingredients is essential. Note: according to the Association of British Dermatologists, topical steroids can cause perioral dermatitis — yet they are still commonly prescribed for it, sometimes in error.
