Grandma Minnie’s
The Big, Brave Boo-Boo Balm
Laurel Pantin, Editorial and Fashion Director
VMV Hypoallergenics Grandma Minnie’s The Big, Brave Boo-Boo Balm, $24
There’s one product that I’ve used since I found out I was allergic to beeswax (imagine the vicious cycle of having irritated lips and applying more beeswax lip balm only to have them get more irritated and apply more lip balm), and I’m honestly miserable without it. I use it on my lips, cuticles, as a highlighter, a balm for irritated skin—you name it. It’s not organic or green like 99% of the products I use, but it is formulated for babies with no ingredients that are known to cause an allergic reaction in anyone, anywhere, ever. So, I’d say it’s safe.
