Era Organics Baby Eczema Superbalm and Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream are built very differently. Era Organics Superbalm is a water-free balm. It’s made from cocoa butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, sunflower oil, beeswax and gluten-free oats, plus chickweed, chamomile, calendula oil, rosehip seed oil and arnica oil. It is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, fragrance, phenoxyethanol, mineral oil, petrolatum, silicones, PEGs, talc, formaldehyde, propylene glycol, drying alcohol and synthetic dyes. Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream comes from Kenvue Brands LLC. Its ingredient list includes Oatmeal, Water, Glycerin, Panthenol, Ceramide NP, Dimethicone and Petrolatum. Its product page calls it hypoallergenic and fragrance-free. If you want a certified organic, petrolatum-free, silicone-free balm, Era Organics Superbalm is the one to choose.

Key differences

USDA Organic certified

Era Organics Superbalm is USDA Organic certified, and its store listing describes the ingredients as food-grade and non-GMO. Aveeno’s product page does not show USDA Organic or certified organic.

A water-free balm vs a cream with water

Era’s ingredient list has no water. It is a balm of butters, oils, beeswax and oats. Aveeno lists Water second in its ingredients.

Botanicals Aveeno’s list doesn’t include

Era Organics Superbalm combines chickweed, chamomile, calendula oil, rosehip seed oil and arnica oil with its oats. None of these are on Aveeno’s ingredient list. Aveeno’s oat ingredients are Oatmeal, Oat Kernel Oil and Oat, alongside Panthenol and Ceramide NP.

Free of petrolatum and silicones

Era is free of petrolatum and mineral oil, and it is silicone-free and PEG-free. Aveeno’s ingredient list includes Petrolatum and Dimethicone. Some parents choose a petrolatum-free product because they want a formula made from plant oils and butters.

National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance

Era Organics Superbalm holds the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. Aveeno’s product page does not show National Eczema Association.

Certifications and label claims

Aveeno’s product page describes the cream as giving “long-lasting relief from irritated, itchy skin due to eczema.” It says the cream is made with the Aveeno Triple Oat Complex, and it lists the hypoallergenic and fragrance-free claims shown above. Aveeno’s product page does not show USDA Organic, certified organic, National Eczema Association or cruelty-free.
