Dry, itchy, red and inflamed skin?✨ September is the beginning of Eczema Awareness Season ✨
Eczema isn’t “just a skin condition.” For many, it’s connected to gut health, immune function, and inflammation—which is why it can feel so tough to manage. Symptoms often include:
🔹 Itchy, dry, cracked, or inflamed skin
🔹 Painful fissures (like the one on Gareth’s finger 👇)
🔹 Flares that seem to come out of nowhere
As a nutritional therapist—and someone who’s been managing eczema for 30 years—I know the frustration of spending a fortune on products that sting, irritate, or simply don’t work.
That’s why I’m so passionate about Tropic’s Tamanu Balm. For me, it’s been a little pot of comfort, and Gareth (my partner in life, mischief, and experiments) agreed to put it to the test.
💚 By “agreed” I mean:
He tolerated me chasing him around with the balm ✨
Endured having it smothered on his hands while he was asleep 🙈
Posed on the beach, clutching the pot like it was buried treasure 🏖️
Even risked frostbite standing in the sea so I could film my very unskilled attempt at a product video 🌊
(If you’d like to see the video, comment below and I’ll share Gareth’s heroic sea-dip moment 🥶😂)
On a serious note, his cracked skin healed beautifully, and two other people who dipped into my stash reported instant relief during their flare-ups.
👉 If you’ve battled eczema, you’ll know how rare that feels. Sometimes, the right balm makes all the difference.
💬 Have you tried Tamanu Balm—or found a holy grail product that actually helps your skin? I’d love to hear.
