BASE LABORATORIES Ear Stretching Balm for Earlobes — 1.7 oz Natural Shea & Eucalyptus Lubricant for Gauge Stretching

BASE LABORATORIES Ear Stretching Balm is an all-natural, plant-based balm designed to lubricate, protect, and moisturize earlobes during gauge stretching and piercing aftercare.

Whether you're easing up sizes, reopening a closed piercing, or tending fresh stretches, this 1.7 oz balm combines shea butter, beeswax, and eucalyptus oil in a smooth, non-greasy texture to make insertion simpler and skin care less messy than liquid oils. The formulation is crafted to reduce friction while providing a protective layer that helps keep the skin supple and comfortable through the stretching process and daily wear.

How does this balm make stretching easier?

The balm lubricates the lobe and the jewelry so tapers, plugs, and expanders slide in with less resistance, reducing tugging and tearing during size increases. Its semi-solid texture stays put on the skin, unlike oils that can run or stain.

• Smooth, plant-based lubrication for low-friction insertion
• Stays in place for consistent glide during stretching
• Works with double-flared and oversized plugs, tapers, and expanders

What ingredients are in it and what do they do?

This formula blends natural emollients and botanical extracts to condition and shield stretched skin. Ingredients like shea butter and beeswax help lock in moisture while eucalyptus oil offers a cooling sensation and natural aroma.

• Shea butter: softens and supports skin flexibility
• Beeswax: creates a protective, non-greasy barrier
• Eucalyptus oil: provides a refreshing scent and soothing feel

Can I use it for pierced and healing lobes?

Yes — the balm is suitable for both fresh piercings after initial professional cleaning and for ongoing aftercare during stretching, as long as your piercer has approved topical products. It’s designed to moisturize and protect without the drips and residue associated with liquid oils.

• Safe for routine aftercare once piercer clearance is given
• Applied sparingly to reduce irritation and dryness
• Less messy alternative to traditional ear-stretching oils

How should I apply the balm for best results?

Warm a small amount between clean fingers, gently coat the plug or taper, and ease it into the lobe using controlled pressure. Reapply as needed to maintain glide and skin comfort, and wipe away excess to keep surrounding clothing and jewelry clean.

• Use a pea-sized amount for moderate stretching; more for larger gauges
• Apply before inserting jewelry or tapers for smoother movement
• Keep cap closed and store in a cool, dry place to preserve texture

Who is this for? BASE LABORATORIES Ear Stretching Balm is aimed at people who stretch or maintain ear gauges and want a tidy, plant-based lubricant that also provides everyday skin comfort. It suits beginners increasing sizes slowly, experienced stretchers working with larger plugs, and anyone who prefers a balm over oil for less mess, longer-lasting lubrication, and added moisturization during piercing aftercare.
