Forget that you would put your body lotion on your baby’s skin or wash his/her hair with your shampoo! Children’s skin is very delicate, especially in the first year of their life when your baby has to cope with the fact that the environment is no longer as enjoyable and safe as the mother’s womb. They encounter a number of bacteria and new situations they react to – often in the form of rashes or soreness. In addition, the baby’s skin is much thinner than the one of an adult, so you need to take particularly gentle care of it.
We recommend using only natural products containing no parabens, sulphates, phthalates, preservatives and chemical perfumes – these can start various dermatological problems, especially in the smallest ones. Although these substances are legally authorized, there is evidence of possible irritation, contributing to the imbalance of the skin film, and your baby‘s skin can become more sensitive, dry, and more susceptible to irritation later on.
In particular, your baby’s skin should be well hydrated. For skin care, it is best to use moisturizing lotions or milks. Bodycann Body Milk – Natural Body Milk with Cannabis Oil and Dead Sea Salt is a safe choice. Thanks to its formula, the lotion is also suitable for sensitive skin with signs of skin eczema and psoriasis. On the contrary, oil is not so suitable for your little ones, it clogs the pores and the skin cannot breathe so well. If your baby’s skin seems drier, the ideal go-for option is to add a few drops of oil into the bath. Try out 100 % natural Cannol hemp oil with high levels of essential fatty acids Omega 3-6, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E, phytosterols, phytin and a number of important minerals.

Another unpleasant condition that perhaps afflicts every baby is soreness. How to prevent them? Mainly thorough good hygiene routine with a focus on changing your baby’s diapers regularly, so that the baby’s skin does not remain in contact with urine or faeces for too long. Diapers should also be breathable to allow the skin to breathe. It is also necessary to clean the child thoroughly in the intimate area, including the skin folds, and then treat the skin.
Our Annabis Balcann Organic Hemp Balm with Oak Tree Bark is an ideal choice for skin care for diaper rash. It leaves the skin calm, soft and deeply hydrated. Aside from baby and infant skin, it also effectively treats irritated skin on nipples. This 100% natural ointment does wonders, and you can use it as a complementary skin care when it comes to atopic eczema and psoriasis.
If the skin is exposed to an unfavorable weather conditions, especially in the winter, we recommend using an ointment on unprotected parts of the body. Moisturizing creams are unsuitable, as the water in them can freeze. All of the mentioned products are CPK natural and CPK bio certificated.

Oak Bark, Qercus Robur bark has been known and widely used for centuries. Oak bark contains numerous nutrients including vitamin B12, iron, and potassium. It also has a tannin content somewhere between 10 to 20 %. These tannins and the nutrients are believed to be responsible for the bark’s health benefits. The Native Americans were long aware of the beneficial properties of the bark. They used it for antiseptic, astringent and anti-inflammatory purposes before settlers to North America picked up the mantle and learned how to use it. The bark is considered to be the most effective part of the tree.
ASTRINGENT PROPERTIES
As said before, Oak bark contains tannin and therefore has astringent properties because of its high levels. Astringents work by constricting or shrinking the body’s tissues on the inside and the outside. Natural astringents like oak bark have a variety of therapeutic benefits. They perform some useful external functions and can help limit skin complaints like burns, bruises, wrinkles, and eczema. Its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties are also excellent for the skin. Internally, they can help treat bleeding, varicose veins and reduce diarrhea.
ANTISEPTIC PROPERTIES
The tannin content of the white oak bark is also responsible for its antiseptic properties which can help to prevent and treat both internal and external infections. The tannins bind with the proteins present in the tissues which help to stave off harmful pathogens and bacteria. White oak bark can also be used externally to protect against skin infections and to help treat a number of skin issues. It has been successfully used to treat poison ivy and to soothe the pain and inflammation from bee stings and bug bites. When applied to the skin, it may also help speed up the healing process from minor wounds, cuts, scrapes, and burns.
Balcann Oak tree bark OINTMENT vs Balcann Oak tree bark GEL
Balcann itself is a powerful ointment. When topped off with oak tree bark extract and in combination of hempseed oil and its benefits it is a very powerful ointment with stronger antiseptic properties.
Balcann Oak Tree Bark OINTMENT is CPK certified meaning that it is made from natural ingredients only and it is also suitable for the most sensitive skin. When applied it gradually releases its natural ingredients while creating a thin film on the skin.
Balcann Oak Tree Bark GEL is a lighter in form and less greasy for those, who like quick absorbing substances. It is also suitable for sensitive skin. You may put it in the fridge and use it as a cooling gel after sunbathing to calm down the skin.
BOTH are so gentle that they are suitable for children 0-3 years of age and on top of everything else: they are also vegan friendly.
Bottom line: Adding oak tree bark extract to an otherwise powerful Balcann ointment only adds another great feature to its unique strength and brings up a notch its diverse use.

From the moment a person sees the light of the world, her/his skin begins to age. It is an inexorable process that cannot be stopped. The older we get, the more our skin loses its ability to regenerate. Less oxygen penetrates the skin cells, so the skin is less hydrated and loses its strength and elasticity. It is completely individual how fast the ravages of time will take place. But the good news is that we can mitigate the consequences. Just make sure you eat a balanced diet, do not go out without sun protection, and give your skin proper care.
Skin 30+ years old

Skin 40+

The skin is more demanding and requires more attention. At this age, you should start using Anti-Aging cosmetics.

Immediately, the biological age of the skin is about 20 years old. Within 2 seconds, then your biological age is about 30 years old. Three seconds point to 40 and four seconds to 50 years. At the age of 60, the skin will return to its original position for 5 seconds or more.

The fact that you can buy colloidal silver in the pharmacy is definitely very interesting. What is even more interesting is its versatile use for various skin ailments that make people worry.

Colloidal silver as a beneficial effect on hemorrhoids, and its effects further accelerate the healing and regeneration of the affected skin. This will be appreciated even when applied on insect bites or sunburned skin.
What is colloidal silver and how does it work?
It is a dispersion (in the chemical sense of dispersion) of silver microparticles in distilled water using special tools. Colloidal silver is therefore a microparticle that is even smaller than the size of viruses and bacteria. This way it can penetrate and block them. The question arises as to how it is possible that if silver has such a liquidation effect, it will not block the good bacteria that we want in our bodies. Colloidal silver blocks only so-called oxygen-free micro-organisms, i.e. those that do not need oxygen to live, friendly bacteria are exempt. Silver particles penetrate enemy pathogens (viruses, bacteria, molds …) and begin to decompose their enzymes without which they cannot exist. Pathogens are blocked within minutes.
Other advantages of colloidal silver:
- Antibiotic, anti-viral and antimycotic effects
- It serves as an anti-inflammatory agent
- Facilitates wound healing and scarring
- Cleans and regenerates the skin
- Reduces enlarged pores
- Reduces sebum secretion
- Calms the skin
