Zinc for Peri Rash Around Mouth?

Your skin has exactly one job: keep the outside world out.

If you've been dealing with perioral dermatitis (often called "peri"), you know the cycle: try a new product, hope for the best, flare up, repeat. The skin around your mouth becomes red, bumpy, dry, and incredibly sensitive, leaving you searching for something—anything—that feels soothing instead of stingy.

That's where Bedrock Balm comes in.

Perioral Dermatitis? Choose Bedrock Balm

Bedrock Balm wasn't created as a medication for perioral dermatitis, but it was formulated for one thing: helping calm stressed, sensitive skin.

Its gentle formula combines:

  • 20% zinc oxide to help calm redness and support the skin barrier
  • Camellia Seed Oil to nourish dry, delicate skin
  • Meadowfoam Seed Oil 
  • Calendula Flower Extract and Roman Chamomile to comfort irritation
  • A curated botanical blend selected for sensitive skin

Unlike other redness creams, Bedrock Balm contains no harsh acids or aggressive exfoliants. It's simply a rich, calming balm designed to rejuvenate redness and itch.

One Customer's Perioral Dermatitis Journey

Perioral dermatitis doesn't always have an obvious trigger. Sometimes it's stress. Sometimes it's hormones. Sometimes it's a skincare product you never expected.

One Bedrock customer shared this experience:

"I love the Bedrock Balm so much, it has really helped calm my skin during a difficult year of managing perioral dermatitis which progressed into a mild rosacea presentation. All of this was a result of putting Arnica on my bruised face after bumping into a door. Putting Arnica on one’s face is a definite no no! The rosacea developed after a flareup due to eating too many acidic foods and ones that produce too much histamine." -- CS

What Makes Bedrock Balm Work?

Many products for irritated skin focus on drying it out or aggressively targeting blemishes. But perioral dermatitis-prone skin often needs the opposite.

Bedrock Balm helps by:

  • Calming redness
  • Protecting a compromised skin barrier
  • Fighting friction 
  • Nourishing and moisturizing dry, flaky patches
  • Soothing sensitive skin 

Because it's a multipurpose redness cream, customers also keep it on hand for rosacea-prone skin, shaving irritation, windburn, eczema patches, heat rash, chafing, bug bites, and more!

Bedrock Balm x Perioral Dermatitis Routine

Wash and dry face. Apply Bedrock Balm into skin concerns, rub in and leave overnight. Rinse with water in the morning and apply your usual products.

If the skin around your mouth is suddenly red, irritated, and impossible to calm, our zinc based barrier cream may be exactly what your routine has been missing.
