# Minor wounds

Minor wounds, bug bites, and baby acne share a common need: a clean, protective environment that keeps the skin surface stable. The healing ointment's occlusive base of Beeswax and Coconut Oil covers and protects these areas without adding synthetic fragrances or dyes that could aggravate sensitive skin.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do you treat and care for minor wounds and cuts?

Minor wounds, small cuts, and scrapes do best in a clean, protected environment where the skin surface stays stable. The first step is to gently rinse the area with clean water, then cover it to shield it from further irritation.

Era Organics Superbalm is built on an occlusive base of Beeswax and Coconut Oil that covers and protects the skin over minor wounds while keeping the surface environment stable. It's formulated without synthetic fragrances or dyes, making it a gentler option for sensitive or reactive skin that might be aggravated by conventional ointments.

Apply a thin layer after cleaning. A light bandage over the top helps keep the area covered. If a wound is deep, won't stop bleeding, or shows signs of infection — spreading redness, warmth, or discharge — see a healthcare provider.

Superbalm is also an OTC skin protectant that helps relieve and soothe eczema and atopic dermatitis.
