Review – Baby Butz 100% Natural Cream

January 22, 2015 by Shellie Wilson 13 Comments

product1

We were invited to review this Baby Butz cream but unless I can convince my aching body, leaking bladder and overworked husband that having another child is a good idea then there are no butz in this house younger than 5. However we do have a few different skin issues especially with my youngest who appears to be more like mummy when it comes to allergies than the poor little boy should be.

They day this cream arrived by daughter decided she had to use it straight away. Now in the past few weeks my daughters hands have become dry, but not dry from lack of moisture. You she Santa brought her a jar of body whip  and  she has been putting  it on daily , in fact she has been putting it on so much (cheap moisturizer it smells like strawberries and chemicals) that I have started to become concerned with just how often she “needs” to have it on. (Keeping my eye on this).

To cut a long story short-  she likes putting on creams and has even been putting cream behind my ears daily (apparently I can’t reach) since I broke out in a rash from a new pair of sunglasses I got for Christmas (damn Santa was harsh to us).  Armed with her new cream she went around the house looking for patients to cure. First she popped it onto her brother who had a mosquito bite on his wrist that had flared up to the size of a large grape.  Within 30 mins it had gone after applying the cream.  Next patient was her father who’s ethnic skin was fondly known to resemble Crocodile scales. The cream is very thick so he may have been over treated as he came out of his office with legs and elbows as white as , well as white as mine.

So what makes it so special? Well I wish I could provide you with a long list of ingredients that make it wonderful but it actually only has 4, yes just 4 natural ingredients.  Zinc, lanolin, petrolatum and starch. 

So basically we really loved the cream and it will be staying in our medical kit should any chaffing or bites or cracked skin comes our way.

RRP $7.99

We loved it so much that we are going to share the love and give away 1 jar to 1 lucky reader. For your chance to win simply tell us why your butz need this and which country you are from in a comment below.

Competition closes on the 1st of February.

Open Worldwide.

    EVERYTHING makes my daughter break out, even though her poor skin is so dry. I would love to try this cream and see if it works. Sounds like it just might.

    For years, I have been battling with dry skin on my hands. It gets so dry, that the skin around my nails begins to split, and it gets very painful. No matter what I use, it never helps, and the vicious cycle continues. Sometimes it does the same thing on my feet as well. Hopefully this can help me. I’m at my wits’ end!! I live in the US.

    We heat with wood which tends to dry my skin. I am also older and have the issue of cracked heels. I like the idea that this is a cream and not a lotion and only contains 4 ingredients. Way to go. I am in the USA

DIY Sore Muscle Relief Balm with Essential Oils – Natural Comfort in a Jar

When your back’s tight, your shoulders are screaming, and even stretching feels like too much effort—sometimes, you just need a little help in a jar.

Enter this soothing DIY Sore Muscle Relief Balm. It’s warming, nourishing, and infused with essential oils known for easing tension and boosting circulation. Whether you’re dealing with post-gardening aches, a long day on your feet, or that stubborn neck kink from sleeping funny (again), this balm is a natural way to say goodbye to muscle misery.

I keep a tin of this on my bedside table and another in the kitchen drawer. It’s a go-to remedy in our house for everything from growing pains to post-walk stiffness—and trust me, with a big dog like Aloo dragging me around, I know sore calves!

Why Make Your Own Muscle Balm?

Commercial rubs often contain synthetic fragrances, petroleum byproducts, or ingredients that can be too harsh on sensitive skin. When you make your own, you’re in full control—and it doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming.

This DIY balm is:

  • Petroleum-free and non-toxic 
  • Packed with anti-inflammatory oils 
  • Warming without the burn 
  • Gentle on sensitive or mature skin 
  • Perfect for gifting 

Ingredients You’ll Need

Base Oils & Butters:

  • ¼ cup shea butter – rich in vitamins and helps deeply hydrate skin 
  • 2 tbsp beeswax pellets – thickens the balm and adds a protective barrier 
  • ¼ cup coconut oil – light carrier oil with natural anti-inflammatory properties 
  • 2 tbsp magnesium oil (optional but recommended for extra relief) 

Essential Oils Blend:

  • 10 drops peppermint essential oil – cooling and refreshing 
  • 8 drops eucalyptus essential oil – helps reduce inflammation 
  • 6 drops rosemary essential oil – boosts circulation 
  • 5 drops lavender essential oil – calming and soothing 
  • 4 drops ginger essential oil – gentle warming effect (skip if sensitive to heat) 

Note: Always do a patch test before slathering it on.

How to Make It – Step-by-Step

  1. Melt Your Base
    In a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl over simmering water), melt together the shea butter, beeswax, and coconut oil until fully liquified. 
  2. Add Magnesium Oil (Optional)
    Remove from heat and stir in magnesium oil if using. This may cause some bubbling—that’s normal! 
  3. Cool Slightly
    Let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes. You want it warm but not hot to avoid damaging the essential oils. 
  4. Stir in Essential Oils
    Add your essential oils and mix thoroughly with a wooden stick or glass stirrer. 
  5. Pour into Tins or Jars
    Carefully pour the balm intometal balm tins or glass jars. Let cool uncovered until set. 
  6. Label & Store
    Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. It should last 6–12 months. 

How to Use Your Homemade Muscle Rub

  • Massage a small amount into sore muscles after a shower or bath. 
  • Use it before bed to help loosen tight areas and promote deeper sleep. 
  • Rub into feet and calves after long days of standing or walking. 
  • Warm it between your hands for easier spreading on cold days. 

Bonus tip: Rub a bit onto temples and neck during tension headaches—peppermint works wonders.

Customize Your Balm

Want to make it your own? Here are a few add-ins:

  • Arnica oil – great for bruises and swelling 
  • Cayenne pepper oil – for extra heat (only a drop or two!) 
  • Menthol crystals – adds a deep cooling sensation, use sparingly 
  • Comfrey-infused oil – old-school remedy for joint pain and strains 

Gift It!

This balm makes a thoughtful gift for:

  • Gym-goers 
  • Gardeners 
  • Grandparents 
  • Stressed-out teachers 
  • Care packages for new mums or anyone in recovery 

Pair it with a cozy pair of socks or a DIY rice heat pack for a full self-care bundle.

Making your own sore muscle balm isn’t just about saving money or going natural—it’s about putting a little love and intention into your self-care. This balm smells divine, feels luxurious, and actually works. No mystery ingredients. No overpriced tubes. Just natural, handmade relief whenever you need it.
