What’s in Chesty Rub?
Organic ingredients of: coconut oil, beeswax, lanolin, castor oil, lavender oil, lanolin alcohol, menthol, eucalyptus oil, carnauba wax, vitamin E, cedarwood oil, nutmeg oil, wild crafted murunga (kakadu plum), bach flower remedies: white chestnut, clematis, cherry plum, rock rose, love & hugs.
The good stuff:
Organic Coconut Oil
We only use unrefined, raw, organic coconut oil. Like coconuts themselves, coconut oil is rich in many proteins. These proteins keep skin healthy and rejuvenated, both internally and externally. Proteins also contribute to cellular health and tissue repair. Coconut oil is a brilliant moisturiser for all skin types, especially dry skin and is safe for babies and kids making an excellent nappy and skin cream. It also speeds up the healing process of bruises by helping to repair damaged tissue, it penetrates deeply and is nutrient rich. Also amazing to use if your kids have knits!! We adore coconut oil for its therapeutic activity and use it as a base of many of our products.
Organic Beeswax
We only use natural unbleached organic beeswax. Beeswax has a number of benefits for the skin, including an anti-inflammatory action that helps to calm and soothe. It forms a protective barrier on the skin to guard against irritants and lock in moisture. Unlike ingredients made from petroleum beeswax doesn’t suffocate the skin and won’t clog the pores. It is excellent to use for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. I have chosen to use organic unbleached beeswax for its skin healing properties. It’s also antibacterial and soothes tender skin! Bees are amazing and are in great danger around the world. Bees are not harmed during this process of the removal of the wax. We adore and respect our bees!
Natural Vitamin E
We use Vitamin E not only for its amazing skin benefits but also because it acts as a natural preservative and stops our formulas from going rancid. Vitamin E helps normal red blood cells, muscles and other body tissues to grow and remain healthy. It stimulates the immune system, helps block lipid peroxidation in cells and tissues, and can alleviate allergic reactions and help heal scar tissue. You will see Vitamin E in a few of our products as we love how it makes our products feel on the skin.
Organic Carnauba Wax
Carnauba wax is a vegetable wax obtained from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree (Copernica cerifera) known as the “Tree of Life.” Carnuba Wax is known for it’s beautiful hydrating properties increasing moisture in the skin as well as naturally protecting it.
Organic Lanolin
Lanolin is a natural and organic substance that is mainly known for its moisturizing effects on the skin. It provides a smooth barrier which protects the skin and is a natural emollient.
Organic Lavender Essential Oil
We are obsessed with organic lavender essential oil. We feature it in almost all of our products because it benefits almost every body system. Lavender essential oil smells divine and is an excellent tonic for the nervous system soothing and relaxing and supporting healthy nervous tissue function. Brilliant for anxiety, migraines, headaches, depression, nervous tension and emotional stress. Lavender is one of the three essential oils which most powerfully stimulate the growth of healthy new cells – Tea Tree and Neroli are the others. Lavender has numerous active constituents but above all, it is primarily the balancing and normalising action of the oil which makes it so beneficially versatile.
Organic Menthol Oil
Our beautiful menthol oil smells incredible and medically it’s used to clear sinus congestion, help headaches and support the respiratory system. Also really good for nausea and fever and we love it in our chesty rub.
Organic Cederwood Oil
A beautiful warm woody essential oil designed to give comfort known for it’s support of the respiratory and nervous systems.
Organic Eucalyptus Essential Oil
This oil has many healing properties and has been used in epidemics and infectious illnesses for thousands of years. It’s particularly known for its effective expectorant properties and is amazing for coughs, colds and respiratory conditions.
Organic Nutmeg Essential Oil
We use beautiful organic nutmeg essential oil for it’s calming and sedative effect and is a known sleeping aid. Nutmeg oil can help relieve muscle aches and pains, swelling and inflammation within the body.
Wild Crafted Murunga (Kakadu Plum)
This miracle of nature is from the Kimberleys in Western Australia and is a potent, natural wholefood source of Vitamin C and a beautiful emollient designed to soothe the skin.
Homeopathics/ Bach Flower Remedies
Bach Flower Remedies are a safe and natural method of healing discovered by Dr. Bach from 1920 – 1930’s in England. They gently restore the balance between mind and body by casting out negative emotions such as fear, worry, and indecision, which interfere with the equilibrium of the being as a whole. The Bach Flower Remedies allow peace and happiness to return to the sufferer so that the body is free to heal itself.
The Bach Flower Remedies are made from wild flowers and are safe for the whole family including pets and children. There are no known side effects or allergic reactions.
Rock Rose for terror and panic
Cherry Plum for irrational thoughts
White Chestnut – to cam the mind of worrying thoughts.

What a fabulous product. It smells divine, applies easily and has helped me sleep soundly over the past few nights despite congestion and a tickle in my throat before I went to bed. I will be buying this again when I get low, although as a little goes a long way, I shouldn’t need to for a while. Thanks for a ‘clean’ product to help me stay healthy.
Kylie G –
Only been using the chest rub for a week. Both my children had a horrible chest cough and couldn’t breathe properly. The first night l used it I could hear the kids breathing easier and the cough wasn’t as constant as it had been. A few days in they were breathing better and feeling happier.
Smells beautiful and LOVE the fact that there are no nasties In the product
Nichole Robinson –
Not just effective for the kids!
I had a little dry, irritating cough recently and immediately after I applied some chesty rub on myself, the cough settled down and I was able to relax enough to fall asleep. Even my husband has used with immediate benefits! Goes without saying that the kids also get amazing results!
Emma (verified owner) –

Love it! Omg it smells so nice and my 2 boys can’t wait to get it on, we are currently using it with the Sleepy Head balm as they have been a little unwell and its really helping. Usually when they have a cold they cough on and off all night but this time since we started using Chesty Rub they haven’t been coughing at night. Also my 4yr old falls asleep within 10 minutes of going to bed when he has both on
Reina Gonzalez (verified owner) –
We use the chesty balm on my boy when not well, on the weekend he got a bee sting, the hand began to get very red, I rushed him inside washed his hand after removing the stinger and I applied some chesty rub on it! It was magic! The redness and pain Was gone with in mins!!!
So not just a fantastic product when he has the flu, which by the ways works brilliantly but there is other amazing uses for it.
Michelle Contarino (verified owner) –
I recently ordered chesty rub in preparation for winter and not only two days after it arrived, my 2 year old developed a cold! We started using it straight away and rubbed it on her chest and soles of her feet at night. Her sniffles were gone by the end of the next day. The smell is lovey, and I feel happy that this product is not harmful for her at all.
Simone Bray (verified owner) –

Love this product. We use it on our toddler. We were recently away & my mum started to get a sore throat & sneezy & felt like she was getting a cold. I gave her the chesty rub to try & she was fine the next morning. She was very impressed as are we every time we use your products.
Liz (verified owner) –
We had been using it.my son seems to be sleeping thru the night more
Lisa –
First of all, this smells amazing! My boys have been fairly lucky when it comes to colds, but both had sniffles and coughs this year. I put some of the chesty rub on and not only did they smell great, I truly believe it helped them go down for the night and breathe easier.
Sarah (verified owner) –
Helped my 2 girls overnight with their coughing. I don’t think I was putting enough on to begin with however I think I have it down pat now. Nice smell, not too strong.

jenny.seol83 –
My kids have had been sick since last season. Wanted to try a non toxic and gentle rub to ease their coughs and blocked noses at night. Kids are asthmatic and have allergies and chest rub doesn’t irritate their skin or ‘burn’ like big brands.
Cathy (verified owner) –
Chesty rub smells delicious! I feel so much happier putting it on my girls than the other products out there. My eldest even asks to apply it herself!
Emma –
Smells so good!
Anita –
Beautiful product! We received this product by accident due to a processing error but are so impressed with how gentle yet effective it is! We love the beautiful aroma which has helped clear up a long standing cough and runny nose in my little one. It’s gentle and feels beautiful on my daughters skin. Plus I know it’s all natural so my mind is at ease. I can not reccomend this product enough. We will be ordering this product again and again!
Alisa (verified owner) –
We are so sorry about sending you the incorrect product Anita and glad we got that sorted out for you! – Glad you loved our chesty rub as much as we do 🙂

Would like to send a big bear hug to the lovely people that have created this beautiful stuff , Little Miss 3 has ASD/SPD and currently takes medication for sleep unfortunately it’s started to not work , Last night we bathed in 123 Nourish me and then used Sleeply head balm for a massage in her feet and wrist ,Typically my little miss wakes 10+ times last night she woke TWICE , and then today I applied sleepy head balm and to my surprise we have both just woken from a 3 hour sleep this hasn’t happend in about 1.5 year . Will Defintley be ordering more
Debbie Wilks (verified owner) –
Great product…I love being able to use natural products on my grand babies that work..
Erin (verified owner) –
Love this as an alternative to the other Chemical laden Chest rub creams on the market. So happy to have a product that I’m confident is assisting to clear my kids airways not congesting them further with nasties. Beautiful texture and scent, not too strong smelling but 100% effective for clearing the nasal congestion when used on chest. Would love to rub on my kids feet but they both laugh hysterically and wriggle too much causing a little too much excitement before bed (Trying to offset with using Sleepy head) 😉
laurenycameron (verified owner) –
Arrived so quickly and evidently packaged with love and hugs. Used on my 8 month old and 3 yr old yesterday and last night and I can definitely see a difference. Barely wiping a nose and my 3 yr old slept the whole night even though she is feeling so unwell. Thank you
Amanda –
I feel happy to be rubbing something natural directly onto my child’s skin without the concern of chemicals

great product, wish the jar was bigger
Danni –
Absolutely LOVE the Chesty Rub!! After Being sick with the flu for nearly 2 weeks and spending over half of each night awake coughing, I ordered the Chesty Rub which arrived within only a few days of ordering. I started using it the night I received it and was able to sleep without any coughing!! Best of all only a very small amount was needed to get such an excellent result (although I did have to explain this to my nearly 5 year old after he covered the whole top of his feet, half way up his legs and his chest with it)!! He now asks for it to be put on everyday he’s at school which I totally LOVE! Thank you for such an amazing product that I can’t recommend highly enough!!
Aneta –
Thank you!!!! I purchased the ‘Calm kids box’ and I’m delighted!
The Chesty rub has helped my daughter sooooo much during her cold/virus, Along with the sleepy head balm we were both able to get a good nights sleep, the smell is so pleasant my daughter loves them (me too ofcourse) I’m loving the magical wash too!
Also thank you so much for getting my order to me as quickly as you did, I was grateful to have it in time for our trip

Chelsea Watson (verified owner) –
My sons are autistic and it’s a fight to use the usual store bought vapour rubs, they react to the heat & the smell. Have just tried this on our youngest and he let us rub it on him without complaint and has not reacted to any smell (which smells awesome by the way). Super happy, can’t wait to try some of the other products you have available!
Nat M (verified owner) –
We purchased the Chesty Rub not knowing what to expect in honesty as we had such bad experiences with shop brought chest rubs, they flared our 3 sons excema and their asthma up, we decided to try the Chesty Rub after reading it had no chemicals in it and what an absolutely amazing product it has been. With 3 sick boys and hubby it has helped them breathe better at night , it eases the coughing within 10 minutes and as a mother it feel so good knowing its all natural oils that im putting on my families skin. Our only regret is not finding this product sooner , thank you so much!
Amy –
The first night I used this on Mr 4, he slept until 8.30am the next morning – the first good nights sleep since before catching a virus. It smells amazing and I’m so happy to have found an alternative to Vicks that I can trust. Def going into the yearly Winter Arsenal Box

Both my girls (4 & 2) have been fighting colds and coughing for months. Within minutes of using chesty rub coughing eases and after a couple of days, their cough is nearly nonexistent! So very happy the girls are finally getting some uninterrupted sleep and regaining their energy.

Excellent chesty rub- the only natural one I’ve found that I actually am happy to use on my kids. Beautiful smooth texture, not too oily, gorgeous fragrance that actually helps clear snuffles but also soothing at the same time. Only one I’ll buy now!
Elena Skamangas –
Such a great product and chemical free. I love the smell and it’s not just for kids, I used it on myself and it was wonderful to finally get a goodnight sleep and ease my blocked nose and head cold.

This isn’t just for kids!! My husband has come down sick and was coughing a lot last night so I made him put on the chesty rub!!

Amazing product. Used it on my 14 month old when she had a cold and was struggling to breathe and in minutes she was asleep and so much more comfortable. Thank you!

Used this for the first time this morning when my son woke at 2am coughing and congested! Rubbed on his chest, back and feet. He fell straight back to sleep and not a single cough to disturb his sleep and woke at 8am! Thank you so much! This is brilliant and will remain a staple in our household!!

This product came in sooo handy last week, in a short few days he is all better.
Our son also inhales it out of the container. He gets a bit carried away sometimes and ends up with his nose in it!

I love this product. Anytime my children have a cold and/or cough they ask too have this rubbed on their chests and feet. It helps so much to relive their symptoms especially their coughs. It also smells amazing!!
Cris –
I have used this a couple of times so far and not only does it smell amazing but it has done wonders for my daughter whenever she has a cough. It’s so reassuring to know that I’m not putting any toxic chemicals onto my daughter’s skin that could potentially be absorbed into her little body. Thank you for a great product!
Kristy –
It is so nice to be able to use a natural non toxic rub and actually enjoy smelling this rub knowing it’s healing us!(& not putting who knows what into our skin) It’s not over powering which the kids love! We have a range of ages and we all love our chest rub!
Hayley –
This is a fantastic product (my equal fav of all the ones I have tried so far).
I love how comforting the smell of this is without the overpowering smell you can get with some of the commercial products. I feel confident using this on my girls.
And it works! My Miss 2.5 suffers from the sniffles and coughs quite regularly (hello day care germs!) but this has helped so much.
Helen Mcgoldrick (verified owner) –
I love my Chesty Rub, I wear it every day behind my ears, and breathe in all the nice vapour
Emma (verified owner) –
Really like this rub. I’m a convert for sure. Have been looking for a Vicks alternative. A LITTLE pricey though, so I’ll be using it sparingly.
Charmaine –
I have had a long run of my children getting sick and yes yet another one today. I have put this lovely Rub on my sons chest for a good night sleep. He was coughing earlier and I had put a bit on his throat and his cough didn’t come back. He loved the minty smell….Love it so far….and loving all the goodness in your products. I already feel like a better mum.
“Time for a rant”………. Im just sick of depending on the chemist shelves items that are meant to be helping us but slowly poising us and our kids. Thank you, you clever little chookies, good stuff…. Your products are in my house for good. Hooray!!!!!
