IT REALLY WORKS

When your baby’s skin looks particularly angry, feels rough and dry, or keeps flaring in the same places, another thin layer of ordinary lotion may not feel like enough.
The bathroom may already contain several half-used tubs. Some disappeared into the skin within minutes. Others were too thin, too sticky or seemed to make very little difference.
ANGRY BITS Balm is our richer option for those stubborn patches. Its concentrated formula deeply moisturises dry skin, softens rough areas, helps prevent further moisture loss and leaves angry-looking skin feeling calmer and more comfortable.
For milder dryness, everyday moisturising and generally eczema-prone skin, start with ourbaby eczema cream and BUM + BODY Balm instead.
No fillers. No token dusting of fashionable ingredients. No unnecessary faff. Just a properly concentrated balm for skin that needs more than another thin layer of lotion.
REAL PEOPLE. REAL STORIES. REALLY WORKS.

“Honestly, we’re a big fan! Considering we’ve been through many creams and been referred to a dermatologist, this is the cream that has helped her neck the most!”
Severe-looking eczema needs rich, consistent care — not complicated skincare
Eczema-prone skin can lose moisture quickly, leaving it dry, rough and easily irritated.
A rich balm helps keep that moisture where it belongs. It softens rough patches and leaves a protective layer over vulnerable skin rather than disappearing shortly after application.
For more information about flare-ups, common triggers and when to ask for medical advice, readour baby eczema guide.
If your baby’s skin is weeping, oozing, crusting, bleeding, hot, swollen or spreading quickly, or your baby seems unwell, please seek medical advice. Once the skin is dry, unbroken and safe to moisturise, rich barrier care can support it while it repairs.
If your baby’s eczema is weeping, oozing, crusting, bleeding, hot, swollen, spreading quickly or your baby seems unwell, please seek medical advice. Once skin is closed and safe to moisturise, gentle daily barrier care can help support dry, eczema-prone patches.
what's inside
Ingredients chosen for angry, dry baby skin
ANGRY BITS Balm combines grass-fed beef tallow, tamanu oil, calendula-infused sunflower oil, rosehip oil, beeswax, zinc oxide, panthenol, German blue chamomile and ylang ylang.
Each ingredient has a job to do. Beef tallow creates the rich, moisturising base.Tamanu oil makes ANGRY BITS our more intensive formula. Calendula, rosehip and German blue chamomile soothe and nourish dry, uncomfortable-looking skin. Beeswax and zinc oxide leave a protective layer over vulnerable areas, while pantheno supports moisture retention and skin repair.
Together, they soften rough skin, calm the look of redness and give dry patches proper, lasting protection.
Matylda Baby began because my daughter’s skin was red, sore and getting nowhere with the growing collection of creams beside the changing mat.
Emma, a natural cosmetics expert, and I made batch after batch until we created a balm that helped Matylda’s skin heal. BUM + BODY became our everyday all-rounder. ANGRY BITS followed for the stubborn patches that needed something richer and more intensive.
We weren’t interested in making another pretty balm that smelled nice and did very little. We wanted properly concentrated skincare that we would confidently use on our own babies — because that is exactly what we made it for.
Rich Protection Without Dragging at Sore-Looking Skin
When your baby’s skin looks red and angry, the last thing you want is a thick cream that pulls at an already uncomfortable patch.
ANGRY BITS Balm is firm in the tin but melts quickly between clean fingertips, turning into a smooth, nourishing oil that glides gently over dry skin.
It feels rich without being suffocating and protective without leaving an unnecessarily thick coating.
A little genuinely goes a long way. Which is useful, because babies are not famous for lying still while you measure skincare.

Warm
Warm a small amount between clean fingertips until it melts into a silky oil.
step 2
Gently apply

step 3

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best cream for severe baby eczema?
For very dry, angry-looking or repeatedly flaring patches, look for a rich formula that moisturises properly, protects vulnerable skin and can be applied without dragging at a sore-looking area.
ANGRY BITS is our concentrated, steroid-free balm for stubborn eczema-prone patches. It softens and protects very dry skin while helping it feel calmer and more comfortable.
If the skin is wet, weeping, crusted, bleeding or rapidly worsening, speak to a healthcare professional.
What is the difference between ANGRY BITS and BUM + BODY Balm?
BUM + BODY is our everyday all-rounder for mild dryness, rough cheeks, red folds and generally eczema-prone skin.
ANGRY BITS is richer and more intensive. It is intended for stubborn patches that look angrier, feel rougher or keep returning, and it also contains tamanu oil.
Start with BUM + BODY for everyday or mild concerns. Choose ANGRY BITS when specific patches need stronger support.
Is ANGRY BITS a cream or a balm?
It is a concentrated balm rather than a conventional water-based cream.
Its rich texture leaves a protective layer over very dry skin. ANGRY BITS feels firm in the tin but melts quickly between your fingers, so it glides over sore-looking patches without the drag of some thicker creams.
Why can a balm help very dry, eczema-prone baby skin?
Eczema-prone skin often struggles to retain moisture.
A balm leaves protective oils and fats on the surface, helping to hold moisture in while softening rough, dry areas. ANGRY BITS also contains calendula, rosehip, zinc oxide and panthenol to soothe, protect and support skin repair.
How much ANGRY BITS Balm should I use?
Start with a small amount, warm it properly between clean fingertips and smooth a thin layer over the patch.
The formula is concentrated. You want the skin to feel comfortably moisturised and protected, not covered in a thick visible layer.
Can I use ANGRY BITS during a flare-up?
Yes, you can use it on dry, red-looking, rough or irritated patches while the skin is unbroken and does not look infected.
Apply it gently without rubbing. The balm holds moisture in, protects vulnerable areas and helps rough patches feel softer and more comfortable.
Can I use it alongside a prescribed eczema cream?
ANGRY BITS can be used as moisturising barrier care alongside a treatment plan, but it should not replace anything prescribed for your baby.
Follow your healthcare professional’s directions about when and how to apply the different products. If a prescribed treatment does not appear to be working, contact your GP, pharmacist or health visitor so the plan can be reviewed.
Is ANGRY BITS suitable from birth, including on the face?
ANGRY BITS is formulated for babies from birth. Use a very small amount on dry, unbroken areas of the cheeks or face, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and patch test first if your baby has highly reactive skin.
Do not apply it to open, weeping or infected-looking skin. Seek advice if a facial flare-up is spreading, worsening or causing significant discomfort.
Does ANGRY BITS contain tamanu oil?
Yes. Tamanu is one of the ingredients that makes ANGRY BITS our more intensive formula.
For babies with a known nut allergy, or when you prefer a tamanu-free product, choose BUM + BODY Balm instead.
When should I speak to a GP about my baby’s skin?
Ask for medical advice if the skin is weeping, oozing, crusting, bleeding, hot, swollen, rapidly spreading or looks infected, or if your baby seems unwell.
You should also speak to your GP, pharmacist or health visitor if the eczema keeps worsening, is causing significant discomfort or is not responding to your baby’s existing care plan.
Once the skin is dry, unbroken and safe to moisturise, ANGRY BITS can provide rich daily moisture and barrier protection.
