BUM + BODY Starter Set pairs our everyday baby balm in two useful sizes: a 60g tin for home and a little 15g tin for the nappy bag.
Both contain exactly the same rich, concentrated BUM + BODY formula, made with grass-fed beef tallow, calendula and a short list of carefully chosen ingredients.
Use a little around the nappy area, on dry patches, cheeks or after the bath. A little goes a surprisingly long way.
Take a small amount of BUM + BODY and warm it between your fingers until it softens. Smooth a thin layer onto the skin wherever it is needed.
Use it during nappy changes, after the bath or whenever little skin could do with some extra care. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more if you need to.
We keep things simple: all orders are shipped via Royal Mail Tracked 48, so you can keep an eye on your parcel from our hands to yours. We aim to get your order packed and on its way within 1-2 business days.
Once dispatched, your goodies should arrive within 2-3 business days for the UK orders, and 3-5 days for International orders. However, please allow at least 5 business days before reaching out about any delays (because we all know the post can be a little unpredictable sometimes!).
BUM + BODY STARTER SET
£28.00
One for home. One for the nappy bag.
BUM + BODY is the balm we reach for every day.
Which usually means it is needed in more than one place.
Keep the 60g tin at home for nappy changes, bath time and everyday little skin moments, and pop the 15g tin in the nappy bag so you have the same balm close whenever you are out and about.
Same balm. Two very useful sizes.
THE 60G ONE
For the changing table, bathroom or wherever BUM + BODY tends to live at your home.
THE LITTLE 15G ONE
Small enough for the nappy bag, handbag or weekends away, without lugging the big tin around.
Bought separately £32. Starter Set £28. You save £4.
only the good stuff
And inside both? Our bestselling BUM + BODY

Use a little around the nappy area, on dry patches, cheeks or after the bath. A little goes a surprisingly long way.

“
My son has very sensitive skin; on top of that, because of his medical condition, he has adhesive plaster on his face, and we change it almost twice a day. I tried many products from the drugstore and pharmacy, but they barely worked, and I was very worried about the ingredients in them. I gave Matylda a chance, and now I carry it everywhere with me. It also works for rashes caused by heat and all. I am very happy!

Which Matylda product is right for you?
Naturally, we love them all. And they each have their own little job to do.
the everyday one
BUM + BODY
For little bottoms, dry patches and all those everyday skin moments. The one to keep close and reach for again and again.
Yes. BUM + BODY is suitable from day one and made for delicate baby skin. It is the balm we wanted to be able to reach for right from those very first nappy changes.
Where can I use BUM + BODY?
Pretty much anywhere little skin needs some extra care. Use it around the nappy area, on cheeks, dry little patches, elbows, knees or after the bath.
For external use only. As with any skincare, avoid the eyes and stop using it if irritation occurs.
How often can I use it?
Honestly, as often as you need to. BUM + BODY is our everyday balm, so you can use a little during nappy changes, after baths or whenever you spot a dry or rough patch.
How much should I use?
Less than you probably think. BUM + BODY is rich and concentrated, so start with a small amount, warm it between your fingers and add more if you need to. A little really does go a long way.
What is the difference between BUM + BODY and ANGRY BITS?
Think of BUM + BODY as the everyday one. It is the pot to keep close for nappy changes, dry patches and general baby skin care.
ANGRY BITS is the SOS one. A more concentrated balm with the addition of Tamanu Nut Oil, for those times when skin looks particularly cross and needs a little extra TLC.
What is the difference between BUM + BODY and COSY CHEEKS?
BUM + BODY is our everyday all-rounder for little bottoms, dry patches and everything in between.
COSY CHEEKS is whipped tallow cream that's easier to spread for all body moisturising. We particularly love it after the bath and on cheeks (especially in winter) and little bodies that need some extra cuddles.
Does BUM + BODY contain essential oils?
Yes. BUM + BODY contains a tiny drop of ylang ylang essential oil to give it its signature, subtle fragrance. However, it is truly just the tiniest drop, firmly below the recommended threshold for baby skincare products. All our products have the full UK cosmetic safety assessment, and you can see the full ingredient list in the Ingredients tab above.
What does it smell like?
To us, it smells like happy baby 🍑. BUM + BODY has a gentle natural scent from the ingredients in the balm. First-time tallow users often wonder whether it has a beefy smell. And our answer is always that it does not. We use the highest quality, cosmetic-grade tallow, which doesn't have that strong beefy smell some more DIY balms can occasionally have.
Is it greasy?
It is a rich balm rather than a water-based cream, so it does feel nourishing when you first apply it. Warm a little between your fingers and use a thin layer. You really do not need much.
How long does a 60g pot last?
That depends on how enthusiastically your family gets through it. If you are using BUM + BODY as an everyday balm, a 60g pot can go a surprisingly long way because you only need a small amount at a time.
If you would also like one for the nappy bag, our Starter Set pairs the 60g pot with a little Travel BUM + BODY.
Do you ship outside the UK?
Yes, we can send Matylda Baby further afield. Just bear in mind that your country may add customs charges, duties or taxes when your parcel arrives. These are set locally, so unfortunately they can sometimes come as a surprise.
And if you would rather find Matylda Baby a little closer to home, tell us your favourite local baby shop and nominate them to become a Matylda Baby stockist. We are always very happy to meet lovely new shops.
