From Eczema To Diaper Rash: Gentle Balm Solutions That Work For Babies

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.

SPEAKER_02 (00:53):
From flaky scalps to irritated bottoms, baby skin
needs extra love.
Let's talk about how naturalbalms can soothe, protect, and
restore.
Welcome back, everyone.
I am Millie M, co-host andproducer, back in the studio
with Trang Wen, founder of CVAProducts.
How's it going?
Good.
How are you?
Doing well.
I know this one hits close tohome, so let's dive into how

(01:16):
natural balms can help with babyskin issues like eczema, cradle
cap, and diaper rash.

SPEAKER_01 (01:21):
Okay, so let's talk about baby.
So you know, baby, they aredifferent.
Their skin is very like light.
They don't have like a thickskin.
So when their skin is superlight, there's not much that you
can use on them.
And their skin also absorbs alot of uh moisturizer faster
than us.
So when we're talking aboutbaby, we have to use something

(01:42):
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'reusing like uh frame and oil or
essential oil, baby, you justcannot use any of that because
it would trigger the skin.

(02:03):
So if the baby has um likeeczema, let's say, um, you have
to find a product uh or even alotion with no um preservative
in there because it can triggerthe skin.
Anything um like to do withcocoa butter or any butter, any
shea butters, um um any and amix with bee wax or any wax in

(02:27):
there and then any oil and youjust rub it on the skin, it
helps to moisturize, that'swould be the best thing.
Um, so that's baby.
Now, when we get into liketoddler, uh kids, uh stage,
their skin is a little bitthicker.
I call it thicker, but they doget thicker.
Um, normally at that stage, youcan see um the reaction clearer

(02:51):
and faster.
Like I have two toddlers andthen I have adult, uh, I don't
know, like kids.
I think big kids.
Um, so like my daughter when shehas eczema, it turned from like
baby, I can't see anythingbecause it's just baby.
But when she turns to a toddler,I can see like she has rashes
and you can identify clearlywith the rashes, like okay, you

(03:11):
have bum, retinous, itchiness.
The the the first way you cantell is like, okay, when you put
serif on the skin, it will youcan see the reaction right way.
Even with my son, if he um likeeats my seafood, he will have
rashes and hide everywhere inhis body.
And you can see literally whitefibro bumps.

(03:32):
And so when they do have that, Ido have a suiting bomb that I
made um that can that works frombaby always to adult with what
we have uh in there.
We have um cocoa butter, sheabutter, uh and then they also
infuse um the oil with chamomileand chamber.

(03:52):
Normally essential oil in thereto boot up the effect a little
bit.
I don't because um I want peoplewith baby also can use it.
So I do the only way I infuseit, infuse it takes a little bit
longer because I do it withherbs.

(04:13):
So for me, it takes about 12weeks 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 turninto a bomb.
And then when it becomes a bomb,whenever time that my daughter
and my son have rashes or notjust eczema itself, I just rub

(04:33):
it on there three times a day.
It lasts longer and it alsohelps to control the um
itchiness um as well as bloodbites.
Somehow it worked with bloodbiceps.
Okay.
And then the key thing withcandle and chamomile is that it
helped to um control theitchiness, it's helped to calm
down uh the flare, and it's alsohelped to reduce the uh

(04:55):
inflammatory.
Um it's not medical tested, butit that's how you know the earth
is just a natural way to helpit.
And then when again, when we getinto adulthood, um we have the
skin is kind of severe becausewe kind of like an adult, our
skin is getting thicker and it'snot like baby, where it's easy
to moisturize, and we need kindof layer on top of layers.

(05:18):
And so uh not only we have umdry skin, which is where you
have it.
Some adults we do have severedryness uh on top of the eczema.
You can use a seating bomb aswell.
Uh the soothing is I've seensome people on the eczema eye
and trying to like crack andlet's say crack was bleeding,
it's not just uh five andrashes, it's just crack itself.

(05:41):
Um you're still applying it, souh what you do we can go in like
once green ace was uh crack, itcan go up to seven days.
But if you use it consistentlythree times a day, it was in the
middle of the day, it would takeabout seven days for it to
actually heal it on its own.
Now, if you ask me why it's likethat, I have no idea.

(06:03):
But I can tell you the oil thatwe're using, one of them, the
key one is anem oil, it'santibacteria.
And then the chamoman calola isum also um a key thing to help
to heal the crab much fasterinstead of going to um using
like steroid, which I I'm notreally a fan of that.

(06:23):
So eczema is one thing, um, andthen 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 strugglingwith my food fit.
There's really no treatment.
I tried on oil stuff, I changeit left and right.

(06:45):
Um, but when my youngest son hadit, I really using what I had in
the past uh to help my son.
And it's really simple.
The creative cup, it's justcoconut for some reason.
Uh uh it sounds well funny, butit's the truth.
Um, you just have to use I'm nottalking about coconut oil, you

(07:07):
put it on your scalp and you No,it's not that.
You have to actually buy acoconut soap, a bar soap, a
hundred percent pure coconutsoap, and you use it daily to
wash like my son had it on hisscalp, so he I we wash it on his
hair daily basis, and it cutdown the amount of cradle cap.

(07:31):
Um, because I remember when myoldest they got the cradle cap,
it takes them six months to healit, but that's on top of um
prescription list steroid backthen because we don't know what
it was.
But for my youngest, when wedon't use any medication, it cut
down from six months to threeweeks.
And I do have a few customers,their baby also had cradle cap,

(07:54):
and we um gave them the coconutsoap and we have some towel.
It sounds a bit harsh um whereyou not just wash your hair with
coconut soap, uh, but you haveto uh clean it like using a
gauze and try to make sure thatthe spot is clean and sanitized
and don't get it contaminatedbecause that's the only way to

(08:15):
keep the bacteria away.
If you don't do it, um even youtry to coconut soap, it won't
work the way it's supposed to bebecause all these um uh it's not
a flakes, but it's some kind ofbacteria, it's like oozy
bacteria thing.
It needs to be cleaned daily.
Um and it's painful, but youhave to do it.

(08:35):
But instead of dealing with likesix months, it's only cut down
to three months, uh three threeweeks.

SPEAKER_02 (08:40):
Fast results.
Fast results and same for thesame balm that you use for the
eczema.
Do you use that for diaper rashtoo?

SPEAKER_01 (08:49):
Oh yes, uh you do.
So diaper rash is basically whenyou wear a diaper, um a lot of
moisturizer builds up uh in thediaper, 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 onthere.

(09:10):
Uh it's like about a couplehours.
Um, it's not like actually mighttake a long time.
So when the rashes come up, uhmy my husband just put it on
there and it takes about acouple hours and it goes away.
And it's moisturized and it'skeep the the ooze, not the ooze,
like the little um rashes I hivekind of like under control and
it went away.

(09:30):
It's not itchy like it'ssupposed to be.

SPEAKER_02 (09:32):
Um you just use it every time um you change their
diet.

SPEAKER_01 (09:36):
I use it every time.
Right.

SPEAKER_02 (09:39):
