Acute Itch Rescue Balm  50gm and 120gm jars
When skin flares, burns, and itches beyond endurance, gentle moisturising is often not enough. 
 
Herbal Healing’s Acute Itch Rescue Balm was expertly formulated as a targeted, high-performance botanical solution to calm sudden flare-ups of intense itching, inflammation, and heat-prone skin discomfort.
 
This balm is designed specifically for acute episodes, when skin feels reactive, inflamed, and desperate for relief. Drawing on traditional herbal medicine and modern skin science, it delivers fast-acting comfort while respecting fragile, photosensitive skin.
 
At the heart of the formula is a nourishing base of Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil, chosen for their ability to reinforce the skin barrier without clogging pores or trapping heat. These skin-identical lipids help reduce moisture loss, soften rough patches, and create a protective cushion for irritated skin.
 
The therapeutic strength comes from a carefully balanced synergy of botanicals. Calendula and Kawakawa, infused slowly into oil, are renowned for their ability to calm inflamed tissue, support skin repair, and soothe reactive skin. 
 
German Chamomile, provides powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-itch benefits, helping to reduce redness and histamine-driven irritation. 
Lavender  adds calming, analgesic support to ease discomfort and settle overstimulated skin.
For immediate relief, a precisely controlled amount of Peppermint delivers a rapid cooling sensation that interrupts itch signals and provides welcome respite during flare-ups, without overwhelming sensitive skin. 
Aloe Vera completes the formula with its cooling, hydrating, and soothing properties, helping to calm surface heat and support skin recovery.
 
The result is a balm that works quickly yet thoughtfully: cooling without stinging, soothing without heaviness, and strong without being aggressive. It is ideal for those experiencing sudden itch episodes, inflamed patches, or heat-related skin discomfort, and is best used as a spot-treatment rescue balm, rather than a daily all-over moisturiser.
 
Ideal For (Rescue Balm Use)
Herbal Healing’s Acute Itch Rescue Balm is ideal for adults who experience sudden, intense itching and inflammation associated with chronically sensitive, reactive, or sun-affected skin. It is especially suited for individuals managing conditions where flare-ups occur unpredictably and require fast, targeted relief.
 
This rescue balm is well suited for those who experience:
Acute itching, burning, or heat sensations during skin flare-ups
Chronically inflamed, irritated, or sensitised skin patches
Sun-reactive or photosensitive skin that becomes itchy after exposure
Persistent itch that disrupts sleep or daily comfort
Skin that does not tolerate heavy creams, steroids, or synthetic anti-itch products
Periodic flares that need stronger support than a daily moisturiser can provide
 
It is designed for people who already maintain a gentle daily skincare routine, and want a stronger, plant-based intervention to use when symptoms escalate. 
 
This balm works best as a spot-applied emergency support, offering fast cooling and calming without overwhelming compromised skin.  Herbal Healing’s Acute Itch Rescue Balm is for people who understand their skin, respect its limits, and want a botanical ally for flare days, not a blanket solution.
