Review: Bebebalm



Bebebalm is a moisturiser suitable for babies a day old. The product was created by my cousin, Carol Ong who’s baby had eczema so bad that his cheeks would be red, dry, and super itchy. He would scratch his cheeks until it bled unless he wore baby mittens to protect himself. I remember my siblings and I babysat him and we would do our best to keep the little guy from scratching his cheeks the whole time.

Doctors suggested medicines for the eczema but these medicines contain steroids which can have adverse effects on babies. As a loving and protective mother, Carol sought an alternative using natural ingredients that would help get rid of the problem. She consulted with her husband, Dr. Michael Ong, a medical doctor and biochemist, and our aunt, dermatologist Dra. Jesusa Barcelona-Tan to create what Bebebalm is today. 

USES OF BEBEBALM

Bebebalm was mainly formulated for babies but not exclusively. Mothers, men, and women alike can use this product. If it’s safe for babies, it’s definitely safe for you!

As mentioned above, the product is made from all natural ingredients to ensure your babies health. The product acts as a moisturiser which can help babies who have dry skin, eczema, diaper rash, and cradle cap. It can also be used to soften rough hands, feet, elbows, and chapped lips. 

A lot of Bebebalm users actually use it as a lip balm such as myself and Sweden’s lead star for Miss Saigon, Li Tong. The smell is absolutely delicious, you would be tempted to eat it. 

It instantly softens chapped lips and it leaves a glossy look as well. 

I would highly recommend it for those who travel often to colder countries. I've tried a lot of lip balms in the past but so far what works the best for me are petroleum jelly and Bebebalm. The difference I find is that the texture of Bebebalm is much smoother when applied plus the taste and smell of coconuts are a bonus.

Bebebalm can also be used as a makeup remover and it’s gentle formulation makes it suitable to remove makeup on the eye and lip area. 

As a makeup enthusiast, I tend to wear makeup almost everyday, but, as part of my skin care protocol, it has to be removed once I get home. I usually use Bioderma for Sensitive Skin to remove my makeup, though sometimes I find that certain products can be more difficult to remove using it alone. Especially when it comes to eyeliner and mascara. 

Just last night I had difficulty removing my eyeliner and I was quite frustrated because I didn’t want to rub my makeup remover on too hard to get rid of what was left. Rubbing can cause premature wrinkles at my age and I do my best to avoid them. 

I then remembered Carol telling me that Bebebalm could be used as a makeup remover. I took a cotton swab and rubbed it on some Bebebalm to remove my eye makeup and it instantly removed what was left in one smooth glide. To say the very least, I was very impressed with it and I highly recommend it as a makeup remover. 

*It’s perfect for makeup artists and models who need an instant remover with the benefits of moisturiser at the same time. Quick and easy for shoots and runway!

Another way to use Bebebalm is as a night moisturiser. The product is made of Virgin Coconut Oil in a hardened form. The first time I used it as a night moisturiser I noticed that it doesn’t make your face feel as oily because it gets absorbed immediately. What I loved about it was that the next morning I noticed my skin tone was a lot more even, my skin looked very luminous, and it felt soft and smooth. I’ve been using it as a night moisturiser ever since. I place the product after either using a facial mask or serums. The product is made of oil so it’s best placed last before bed. 

So far, these are the ways I've been using my Bebebalm as a 23 year old makeup artist. For moms who are interested in learning more about what Bebebalm can do for you and your baby, you can check out Bebebalm's website bebebalm.com for more details.
