We have found Boo Boo Balm to be the safest product on the market for all skin types (so far!) 15 years and counting and we haven't ever heard of a person complain that it irritated their skin, only soothes. We have had people use it on eyelids, under eyes, mouth cracks, bum blisters (bad ass canoe club ladies), up and around dry desert noses, under folds from heat rash, and in areas that your not sure what else to use. We have been told it saves lives for serious burns, cuts and wounds from bike accidents and more. Just remember the skin must be clean and not infected as that requires a different level of treatment beyond the scope of this salve.
