Product Details
Full Description
Barrier Repair is the balm we reach for when skin needs comfort without anything extra. It's rich but gentle, made with shea and mango butters, jojoba, avocado, olive and hemp seed oils and calendula, with just a touch of chamomile essential oil.
It forms a soft, protective layer that seals in moisture and helps support your skin's natural barrier, so dry, delicate skin feels comfortable again, on your face or anywhere on your body.
We were thrilled when it won Best Buy at the Green Parent Awards 2026.
Works beautifully alongside our Hydrate & Calm Balm. Hydrate & Calm focuses on soothing and nourishing, while Barrier Repair adds a protective layer, so the two together are lovely for skin that feels particularly dry.
How to Use
Warm a small amount between your fingertips until it softens, then gently massage into your skin.
Use on your face or body, morning, evening or whenever your skin needs extra care. A little goes a long way, especially on the face.
Ingredients & Benefits
Shea and mango butters give the balm its rich, protective texture, and beeswax helps seal in moisture. Jojoba, avocado, olive and hemp seed oils nourish and soften, and calendula is there for its gentle, comforting qualities. The only essential oil is chamomile, used at a very low level, and vitamin E helps keep the oils fresh.
We always use organic ingredients wherever an organic version is available to buy.
Full ingredients
Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Mangifera Indica Seed Butter, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Cera Alba, Persea Gratissima Oil, Olea Europaea Fruit Oil, Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Oil.
Skin Type Suitability
Made for sensitive, delicate and very dry skin, and gentle enough for daily use on the face. The chamomile essential oil is used at such a low level that there are no fragrance allergens to declare, so it's a good choice if stronger scents tend to irritate your skin.
Calendula and chamomile both belong to the daisy family, so if you have a known allergy to that plant family, we'd recommend a patch test first.
Sustainability
The jar
This balm comes in an amber glass jar with an aluminium lid. Amber glass helps protect the natural butters and oils from light, and glass and aluminium can both be recycled at home in most areas.
If you use a lot, the 240ml jar means less packaging than buying two smaller ones.
Made in small batches
We make everything in small batches and use organic ingredients wherever an organic version is available to buy. Anything left over at the end of a batch is potted into little testers, which sometimes find their way into orders as a free sample.
When it's empty
Give the jar a rinse and recycle the glass, lid and box, checking your local council's guidance first, or keep the jar to reuse.
How your order arrives
Online orders are packed in a cardboard box, stamped by hand with our own ink stamp, with shredded card to keep everything safe (we chose it over cheaper plastic fillers) and a layer of tissue paper.
I started using the Bloom Skin Care range at the beginning of August, and I honestly can’t believe the difference already. From day one, Jo was incredibly helpful — she took the time to talk me through exactly which products I needed, how to use them, and when. Her advice was thoughtful, personalised, and made me feel completely supported on my skin journey.
I’ve always struggled with scarring and spots, and more recently I developed extremely sore eyes, with my eyelids cracking and even bleeding. I had tried so many products before and nothing helped. After just three days of using the Barrier Repair Balm on my eyes, the soreness completely cleared.
My overall complexion has improved so much in just four weeks. My skin looks healthier and calmer. I’ve actually left the house with no makeup on, something I’ve never felt confident enough to do, and it’s my ultimate goal.
My only regret is not starting my Bloom Skin Care journey with Jo sooner. She has genuinely changed my skin and my confidence.
Thank you so much, Jo xx
Richelle, thank you, this really touched me. It was a pleasure talking everything through with you, and knowing you've left the house without make up and felt confident doing it is the best thing I could have read.

This is a fantastic cream that is so gentle yet so effective. I had a nasty rash which was painful especially in the heat and this balm has eradicated the issue. I’d highly recommend.
Liz, thank you so much! The Barrier Repair Balm was made with delicate skin in mind, so it's great to hear it's been so gentle on yours.

Brilliant handmade product. That nourishes and hydrates skin. Absolutely love this product and will be purchasing this again. My son suffers from eczema and the balm works really well to hydrate his skin.
Rue, this is so kind, thank you! So happy to hear you love it, and that your son is getting on well with it too.

After trying many different brands, I started using bloom skin repair balm on my son as his eczema was red raw and very itchy, I applied twice a day and with a few days I noticed his skin improving, within 2 weeks his eczema was cleared. I continue to use twice a day along with the baby and toddler balm. I highly recommend this product.
This balm has worked wonders for my daughter's skin, she has suffered with eczema for years and we have tried so many different creams and steroids but never found the right one. We have only been using it for 3 days and it's been absolutely amazing for her skin and I can't believe the difference in such a short time, it's worked better than the steroid cream usually would and completely natural!
Abi, thank you so much for sharing this! Reading reviews like this honestly means the world to me. I know how exhausting and emotional the journey with eczema can be, especially after trying so many creams and steroids without finding lasting comfort. I’m so incredibly happy to hear the Barrier Repair Balm has brought your daughter’s skin relief so quickly and helped support her skin naturally. Seeing the difference in just a few days is amazing, and thank you so much for trusting Bloom Skin enough to give it a try. Sending so much love to you both, and thank you again for taking the time to share your experience xx
