Supporting Seattle Healthcare Heroes: Bedrock Gives Back 2020

A year ago, we never imagined our skin barrier skincare would provide relief in a pandemic.

This month, Bedrock donated over ten thousand dollars worth of skincare to hospitals across the Puget Sound region of Washington, supporting healthcare heroes struggling with:

  • Painful maskne (mask-related acne)

  • Red bumps and irritation from PPE

  • Dry, over-washed hands and cracked skin

It feels incredible to give back to our local community.

Chris, Seattle Doctor & Bedrock Fan
Chris, a physician in Seattle, contracted COVID-19 a month before his baby girl was born. He spent three weeks in bed while his pregnant wife quarantined with their toddler. Today, he’s a proud Bedrock fan, and we’re so grateful for his bravery.

Amy wrote us after dropping Balm at her ER:

“Everyone is so appreciative. Several friends have noted overnight improvement of their maskne after just one application.”

 

Why Healthcare Workers Love Bedrock Balm

  • 20% zinc oxide helps reduce redness and irritation.

  • Plant oils like jojoba and calendula provide nourishment.

  • Compact size makes it easy to keep in scrubs or a lab coat pocket.

  • Gentle enough for sensitive skin, yet effective for long PPE wear.
