Will this sting on raw or eczema‑prone skin?
Most parents come to us because they’ve had the “it stings” moment with other creams. Little Barrier is a water‑free balm, so it doesn’t rely on the same water + preservative system many lotions use.
What makes Little Barrier different from other creams?
Many creams are 60–80% water and need stabilizers/preservatives. Little Barrier is an anhydrous (water‑free) lipid balm designed to support the skin barrier with skin‑compatible fats rather than “wetting” the surface and evaporating quickly.
Is ‘food-based’ skincare safe for eczema-prone kids?
It’s a fair question—eczema-prone skin can be reactive, and many parents are cautious with anything food-adjacent. Little Barrier is a balm, not a raw food mixture: tallow is rendered and purified fat, used as a stable skincare base. Because every child’s skin is different (and sensitivities exist), we always recommend starting small and patch testing first, especially on very dry or broken areas. Avoid if: your child has a known sensitivity to any listed ingredients (including bee products).
What’s in it and why does that matter?
It’s a short, 5‑ingredient, water‑free balm: tallow, olive oil, beeswax, honey, vitamin E. That matters because fewer ingredients = fewer things to react to, and the balm format helps seal in moisture + protect irritated skin, instead of feeling like a watery cream that can sting on broken areas.
Is Little Barrier™ Tallow Balm safe for infants and toddlers?
Yes, our balm is specially created for the most delicate skin. We prioritize pure, gentle ingredients to ensure it's a safe and nurturing choice for your little one's eczema journey.

My 7 month old Daughter Florence has been battling with eczema since she was 3 weeks old... we have tried all the creams on the market in combination with her topical steroids for her flareups... but nothing has ever cleared up her skin or reduced the itching! Just one week with this cream! Her skin is completly cleared and she rarely scratches herself anymore! This has been our saving grace! Thank you Little barrier!!!!

My son is 20 months old and has some pretty severe food allergies as well as eczema. We have been battling since about 6 months. We have used Several Prescription medications to try and clear it up. A friends recommended I try this little barrier balm and within a week he face looks so much clearer! It’s honestly the best it’s ever looked. Thank you so much for making something that provides such relief for our little ones. Could not be happier.

My son has had bad eczema on the backs of his legs and the inside of his elbow for about a year and a half. We had been to the doctors and tried so many different products, but nothing really helped. It got so bad he was scratching at it and it would crack open and bleed. We have used this a little over a week and it’s all cleared up!! LOVE IT!

Our little boy suffered from really bad eczema and we tried every eczema cream on the market for his poor skin and it seemed like nothing was able to make it fully go away. We little barrier balm and saw results the same day and it’s been the only thing to completely make his eczema go away! He hasn’t had a flare up in the weeks we have been using it.

These pictures were taken 3 days apart. My little ones skin was SO bad it was keeping him awake because he just kept clawing at his stomach. I bought this after nothing else was working and the instant results I saw were unreal. Please, never get rid of this product! I’d be so lost!!!

My 6-month old has suffered from eczema since she was about 8 weeks. We tried everything you can buy at the store, steroid ointments, prescriptions and even cut out dairy. Nothing seemed to work for her and she still scratched all the time. A friend told me about this stuff and I decided to just try it since I was already trying everything else. Seriously after 24 hours my baby’s skin felt so smooth and she didn’t itch!! After about 3-4 days she looked completely normal. I am so amazed. And so is her pediatrician, at her 6-month checkup she could not believe how great she looked. I highly recommend anyone struggling with dry, itchy skin to use this.

Our Gentle Promise
5-Ingredient Transparency
No guessing. No “mystery extras.” Little Barrier is made with only 5 clearly listed INCI ingredients, so you can see exactly what’s going on your child’s skin - before you commit.
Gentle (No-Sting) Feel
Designed for delicate, eczema‑prone skin—so application time doesn’t feel like another battle. Smooth on a small amount; a little goes a long way.
Comfort You Can Feel
When skin is dry, reactive, and uncomfortable, you don’t need another “nice cream.” You need a balm that supports the barrier and helps skin feel settled—especially during the tough parts of the day (bath + bedtime).
Not Petroleum. Not “Just Vaseline.”
Parents often worry a balm is just a heavy sealant. Little Barrier uses a short, fully listed INCI (no petrolatum/petroleum on the ingredient list) and is built around simple, traditional ingredients.
Your Simple Routine
Before you apply
Start simple: cleanse gently, then pat skin dry. For best results, apply your balm right after bath time when skin is clean and calm. You don’t need a complicated routine - just a comfortable, consistent start before bedtime or getting dressed.
How to apply
Take a small, pea-sized amount onto your fingertips and warm it between your palms. Apply a thin layer to the areas that need support with gentle strokes - this should feel calming on contact, not like a “gentle” cream that still stings. Use less than you think: it spreads easily, sits comfortably, and isn’t petroleum-based.
When to apply (bath + bedtime)
Make it part of the moments that matter most - after baths, before bed, or whenever skin looks dry and stressed. Consistency is what parents notice: a simple balm routine that supports comfort day-to-day (especially during nighttime scratchy seasons). Apply as needed - a little goes a long way.

Comfort without the heavy mess.
A little goes a long way—warm it between fingers and apply a thin layer so it spreads easily and doesn’t feel like a thick, sticky coat.
