CRADLE CAP // Did you know that tallow balm, particularly when whipped and combined with ingredients like olive or jojoba oil, can be a helpful natural remedy for cradle cap?
The balm's moisturising and nourishing properties help to soften the dry, flaky patches, while the gentle brushing helps to remove loosened flakes.
Here's how to use it:
1. Clean Hands:
Start with clean hands to minimise the risk of introducing bacteria.
2. Warm and Apply:
Warm a small amount of tallow balm between your fingers and gently massage it onto the affected areas of your baby's scalp.
3. Soaking Time:
Allow the tallow balm to sit on the scalp for 15-30 minutes, or even overnight for more stubborn cases.
4. Gentle Removal:
After the balm has softened the flakes, gently brush them away using a soft baby brush or a silicone scalp massager. Avoid picking or scraping.
5. Rinse and Dry:
Wash the scalp with water (or if you prefer, a mild and low tox baby shampoo and pat dry with a soft towel.
6. Repeat as Needed:
Repeat this process as needed, typically a few times a week, until the cradle cap is gone.
Hope this helps!

This reminder was tucked away in an old photo I found today… and it still hits home. We’re all evolving. Be kind to the past versions of yourself, keep writing, keep editing 🌻

A warm hug in a cup 🤍

This review says it all:

“When drinking this tea, it feels like my mum is giving me a warm hug.”

Sorrow Organic Herbal Tea Blend was made for moments just like this. When grief feels overwhelming and comfort is hard to find.

With soothing herbs of oat straw, lemon balm, hawthorn, St John's wort linden rose and a touch of butterfly pea flower, it’s a gentle way to feel supported through the hard days.

A thoughtful gift for someone grieving, or a calming ritual for yourself.

I'm often asked "What's the difference between Whip Pure and Whip Naked tallow balm?"

They look the same. They feel very similar. And they’re both handmade with love using organic, pure and natural ingredients.

But there's one main difference between the two:

💛 Whip Pure – made with organic, Australian, cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil
💛 Whip Naked – made with organically grown, cold pressed, Australian jojoba oil

That’s it — just beautiful, nourishing, simple ingredients.

✨ Why choose one over the other?
Jojoba makes a slightly lighter balm, which some people prefer for the face or warmer weather.
Olive oil creates a richer, creamier balm — perfect as a deeply hydrating all-over moisturiser, especially for dry or mature skin.

Both are suitable for sensitive skin.

It really comes down to personal preference and what your skin loves most.

Customer love like this makes my day! 🫶🌻🌙
Shannon just received her tallow balm order and had this to say:

“Wow, I just received my order of tallow balms, they are simply divine!! … so smooth on the skin, not heavy at all and absorbed nicely without any oily residue.”

She grabbed the sample sizes but next time, she’s going big!
Thank you Shannon for your kind words and for sharing the love with your family and friends.
Every product is handmade with care, and it means the world to hear it’s making a difference 🌻
