Why it works

The one for the stubborn bits.

Rich where it needs to be

A denser balm texture for patches that need more than an all-over lotion. Use a little, exactly where itโ€™s needed.

A moisture-rich formula

Prebiotic inulin sits alongside shea butter, avocado oil, hemp seed oil and glycerin in the richer patch-care step.

Tested with sensitive skin in mind

Independently patch-tested on 109 adults. Zero reactions were recorded across the panel.

The difference

Most balms stop at the surface.

Whatโ€™s not in it

  • Added fragrance
  • Petroleum
How to use it
Warm a small amount between clean fingers and smooth it onto the dry patches that need the richer step. Use as needed. Calm Balm is concentrated enough that a little goes a long way.
Who itโ€™s for
Dry, sensitive and eczema-prone patches โ€” cheeks, hands, rough spots and the stubborn bits that keep asking for more than a light body lotion. Calm Balm has no added fragrance. For severe, infected or rapidly worsening skin, get medical advice.

Magic!

โ€œDespite all of the amazing reviews I was sceptical buying this cream because it was the fifth cream tried on my babyโ€™s very dry cheeks and neck. I popped it on in the evening after his bath and this morning it has dramatically improved. Itโ€™s no longer red, much, much less dry and heโ€™s not scratching himself any more which is a huge relief for me.โ€

Miracle Balm!

โ€œMy son had eczema on his ankle that was so angry. It took over a year of trying all different products (including steroids once he turned 2) and even then, once we stopped the steroid it would come back. We have been using Calm Balm for 2 weeks, applying every morning, night, and every nappy change. The difference is incredible.โ€

Fabulous cream

โ€œMy 6 month olds skin suddenly flared up with eczema and nothing was clearing it up. Doctors were useless, so thankful to have found the calm balm by Noody, babies skin looked so much better the very next day. Such a relief.โ€

Questions

The things parents actually ask.

Straight from our inbox, DMs and product Q&A.

The product

Can I use it on a baby?
Many Noody families use Calm Balm on babies and children. The independent patch test was conducted on adults, not children, so patch-test a small area first โ€” especially on very young or highly reactive skin โ€” and get advice where skin is broken, infected or rapidly worsening.
Does it contain steroids?
No. Zero steroids.
What does the prebiotic do?
Inulin is the prebiotic ingredient in Calm Balm. It is included to help support the skinโ€™s natural microbial environment, alongside oils, butters and humectants that soften dry skin and help hold moisture in.
Lotion Potion or Calm Balm โ€” which one do I use?
Lotion Potion is the light all-over daily moisturiser. Calm Balm is the richer, fragrance-free step for stubborn dry patches. Plenty of families use both: lotion everywhere, balm where needed.
What if thereโ€™s a honey or bee-product allergy?
Calm Balm contains mฤnuka honey. Where there is a known honey or bee-product allergy, check the full ingredient list and get medical advice before use.
Can adults use it?
Yes. Hands, elbows, dry patches โ€” parents have a habit of stealing it.
How long until I see a difference?
Some customer reviews describe a change quickly; others take longer. Use it consistently on the patches that need the richer step and judge the result on your own skin.
Is it greasy?
It is richer than a body lotion, but it warms between the fingers and smooths into the patch rather than sitting as a heavy oily film.
Is it fragranced?
No added fragrance. Calm Balm is the fragrance-free step in the Noody dry-skin routine.

Trying it

Do you do samples?
We donโ€™t sell sample sizes. The 30-day guarantee is the low-risk way to try your first tube at home.
Can I see the patch-test study?
Yes. Calm Balm was independently patch-tested on 109 adults, half with self-assessed sensitive skin, using a modified Draize repeat-insult protocol. Zero reactions were recorded across the panel. Email hey@noody.co.nz for the study summary.
Whatโ€™s the 30-day guarantee?
Try your first tube for 30 days. If it isnโ€™t for you, email hey@noody.co.nz and weโ€™ll refund it in line with the guarantee terms. No return is required for the opened first tube.

Ordering & delivery

How fast is delivery in NZ?
Free NZ shipping on orders $89+ ($6 flat rate under that). Allow 1โ€“3 business days after dispatch.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, worldwide. Available options and rates are shown at checkout; customs duties or import taxes are not included in the order total.

โ€œI made Calm Balm because I was tired of turning products around and finding things I didnโ€™t want to put on my own kids.โ€

The richer patch-care step I wanted for my own family: no added fragrance, made here in Aotearoa. โ€” Ashleigh
