About Oh My Balm

Hello! I’m Meredith, founder of Oh My Balm, where we believe in the power of creativity and all-natural care. I started OMB in 2017 after a career as a costume designer—creativity has always been my passion and driving force. After 14 fulfilling years working in a non-profit, I found myself searching for a new outlet. With just three body butters and three lip balms, Oh My Balm was born as a small, handcrafted line that has since grown to offer a variety of nourishing, natural products my customers can trust.

In 2019, we had an exciting renovation that transformed our downstairs space into the official OMB Lab—a dedicated space with a hot plate, dishwasher, and microwave for creating my products. Before that, I spent two years crafting my body butters at our dining room table, so this change was a welcome one for my family! Now, I get to blend my love for design and wellness into each product, handling every detail from formulation and packaging to marketing and production.

When I’m not creating products, I’m a proud mom to a curious 13-year-old, along with two dogs and two cats who add energy to our home. Photography is my other passion, and I was thrilled to showcase my work in my first show in 2022.

Thank you for supporting Oh My Balm! I’m grateful to share my creations with you and hope they bring joy and natural goodness to your routine.

Testimonials

Absolutely luxurious and fantastic - the quality of the natural ingredients is wonderful. I bought a load of these at the holiday market and gave them as gifts for Christmas and will do that every year because everybody loved them!

Ok, I want to make an embarrassing review for Oh My Roids so others can know how amazing this stuff is: It might be very separated when you open it, but that is ok! This stuff worked so fast with easing pain and helping to reduce the “issue”. Used an over-the-counter product prior to this stuff and the issue came back within a few days, of course, you can’t use it for too long or it can damage the skin. This stuff is the perfect and natural substitute in the fact that you can use it for however long you need and as many times as needed (from my experience). I found that twice a day wasn’t helping too much, so just use it as needed and it will help immensely! Again embarrassing to post, but we are human and sometimes you have to deal with stuff. Will buy it again if needed!

Tickety Split is amazing! When we remember to wear it, we don’t get ticks on us. When we forget to wear it, we do get ticks on us. Simple! It’s miraculously effective, and it smells pleasant and is easy to put on. I just spray it on our shoes and ankles, and that’s enough to protect us.

I sprained my wrist about two weeks ago, and a co-worker gave me a bit of her “Bruise Banner” to try out. It really is amazing. Not only has it helped considerably with the pain, but with the healing process as well.

I love this Lavender Frost Scrub! Awesome!!! Scrubs dead skin off and leaves your skin super soft. The smell is amazing as well!

Amazing balm! Super fast shipping that I really appreciated. I got a bone bruise that hurts a lot and the Bruise Banner has helped soothe and the discoloration.

This is my 4th time ordering the super arnica. I get chronic migraines, and arnica cream has always been part of my preventative treatment. But never have I tried such an effective version of arnica until now. Oh my goodness, I don’t know where I’d be without this. I use sometimes daily on my neck, occipital lobes, jaw and temples. It keeps it in check, especially with stress, work, school, travel, and everything. I make little to-go versions in contact solution containers and carry it everywhere. It helps to know the ingredients are so pure and so is the product, no unnecessary ingredients, no allergies, only things that work. And since it’s not arnica, but a combination of anti-inflammatory ingredients, it’s really just incredible. I also ordered Sweet Dreams Pillow Spray Great pillow spray. I am really into pillow sprays, from using on my pillow, to all furniture before people come over, to my clothes if I need to freshen them up to re-wear during the week. This one is such a soft and lovely scent, it’s really great.

I used the Lavender Frost scrub the other night when I got it and I love it. I have never used a whipped body scrub and this is AMAZING! I will definitely be back for more. :)

My 18 year old daughter and I both really like this lip balm! In fact, it is our favorite brand now so we included one with a cute towel for her graduation gifts to close friends. The grapefruit balm has a really nice feel on my lips and has a little shimmer which makes me happy. :) Also, my order arrived very quickly from New Jersey. If you try this, you’ll likely get hooked!!

This Peppermint Spice truly wonderful ♥️ I will be back to purchase more! Feels great on your lips and perfectly tinted ♥️ looks natural!

I have EDS, resulting in severe pain and the Bruise Banner was wonderful! As described a little goes a long way 😊. And the sleep products worked amazingly!

I have had other lip balms with similar ingredients that were nice but easily melted - this is my new favorite! It reminds me of the quality of Burt’s Bees but made with love and for a fun local shop :) I’ll definitely be back for more and to try the lotions - these are going to be some of my favorite skin products!!!

Love these products and the fact that they use fair trade shea butter. The lip balm goes on easily and is long-lasting. I work outdoors a lot and find this product to be very soothing on my chapped hands. I like the fact that the fragrance is not strong.

This balm is outstanding! My hands were a disaster. With only 2 applications, they look and feel amazing. I have lost weight and my skin was like a gator’s; now it looks and feels amazing. I will be reordering this. A little bit goes a long way. Your skin absorbs the oils like a sponge. Shipping is very prompt!
— D.W. Granbury, TX
Very quick shipment! Great scent, and a lifesaver for my dry legs in the winter.

Out of all of the items that I have purchased this (Bruise Banner) is the best. I was somewhat skeptical until I used the product on my hands and joints. I suffer from hemophilia and have a lot of damage in those target areas and this balm actually offers some relief from aches. So much so that I had my parents use it and they had me order two more jars for themselves.

This is very rich and creamy. I’ve only used it for my hands so far. Like I said, it is very rich, so it takes a bit to fully absorb into my extremely dry winter hands, but my hands are very grateful and there is an immediate difference in them! It’s not too scented, which is nice. I love that the shea is fair trade!
