Why It’s Special:
Little Lark Herbal Salve is intentionally crafted for the smallest and most sensitive skin. Unlike many baby balms, it contains no essential oils, no synthetic fragrance, and no harsh additives — only whole-plant herbs and nourishing fats that mimic the skin’s natural structure. By infusing chamomile and little mallow directly into organic sweet almond oil, this salve brings time-honored botanical calm to tender newborn skin and postpartum discomfort. Pure, minimal, and deeply soothing — a gentle touch in a jar.
Ingredients:
Chamomile - A beloved anti-inflammatory botanical for soothing tender skin. Known for naturally calming irritated or fussy skin and helping reduce redness or discomfort
Little Mallow - A cooling, mucilage-rich herb ideal for sensitive skin. Mallow draws moisture into the skin and provides slippery, hydrating comfort; softens flaky patches (perfect for cradle cap or dry cheeks); and supports skin that needs extra gentleness and care
Pasture-Raised Tallow - Rich in skin-native lipids and vitamins A, D, E, and K. Nourishes dryness with fats similar to our own skin to support a strong, healthy moisture barrier. Naturally soothing for irritation-prone or sensitive skin
Organic Sweet Almond Oil - Vitamin E–rich moisture softens flaky or fragile skin. Carries herbal actives deep into the skin
Local Beeswax - Pure, unrefined beeswax from Midwest hives. Forms a breathable, protective barrier to prevent moisture loss without clogging skin. Shields skin from diaper irritation, drool rash, and friction
