Baby skincare you’ll actually need 🧴🤍
17
items A simple baby skincare essentials list for soft, healthy & protected skin. From gentle cleansers and daily moisturizers to diaper rash creams and sun protection—these are the products worth having in your baby’s skincare drawer. 👶🏻✨
Less is mo...
Gentle 2-in-1 cleanser for baby's hair & body. A simple everyday bath essential without making the routine complicated.
Daily Care Baby Hair & Body Wash For Dry Skin
One of my top everyday picks for keeping baby's skin soft and moisturised after bath time.
AVEENO® BABY DAILY CARE MOISTURISING LOTION ...
Keep this in your changing bag! A useful barrier ointment for protecting the nappy area from moisture and friction.
Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment | Barrier Cream
A classic UK nappy-rash staple. Handy to have at home when baby's bottom needs extra protection.
Sudocrem® Antiseptic Healing Cream
A handy balm for small dry areas such as cheeks and other spots that need extra moistur
My Little Everything Balm
One of my favourite diaper-bag essentials. Simple, convenient and especially useful when you don't have access to water.
Sensitive Plus Original Baby Wipes for Newborns
A versatile little multitasker for dry patches and areas that need extra barrier protection.
Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment 14 OZ
For babies (6+ mo)/children when sunscreen is age-appropriate. For babies under 6 months, prioritise shade and protective clothin
La Roche Posay Anthelios Dermo-Pediatric SPF50+ Lotion
Not technically skincare, but baby's clothes touch their skin all day. A fragrance-free detergent is a nice extra for sensitive skin.
Baby Laundry Detergent Fragrance Free
I see this more as a comforting extra than a must-have. It’s nice to have around during cold season, but I’d always check the age recommendation and ingredients first. I wouldn’t use it as a treatment for a cold.
Important: don't use adult Vicks Vap...
Vicks BabyRub Chest Rub with Aloe & Eucalyptus
Definitely one I'd keep in the baby-care drawer. You don't think about saline drops until your little one has a stuffy nose, and then they're suddenly so useful. I like having a small bottle ready before cold season.
Snufflebabe Saline Nasal Drops 10ml x3
This an alternative product for Snufflebabe Saline Nasal Drops, another easy-to-find option.
Sterimar Baby Nasal Hygiene 0-3 years (50ml)
I love using massage time as a little bonding moment rather than thinking of it as another skincare step. This feels lightweight and easy to work into a gentle post-bath massage.
Mustela's UK listing says the oil contains 99% naturally derived ingre...
Moisturizing Baby Oil Made With Avocado Oil
Budget alternative for Mustela Baby Oil, very easy to find in Boots and inexpensive.
Baby Oil - Johnsons-baby
This is one I'd keep in the cupboard rather than use every day. It's handy when those little flaky patches appear on baby's scalp. I like that it's specifically made for baby scalp care rather than using a random adult hair oil.
Dentinox Scalp Oil
Alternative product for Weleda Calendula Baby Oil, especially nice if you want a fragrance-free option. Boots says it can be used on dry scalp/cradle cap and is suitable from newborn age.
Baby Calendula Fragrance Free Nourishing Baby Oil
Honestly, this is definitely a “nice to have”, not a baby essential. I just love that fresh baby smell, so I think a gentle fragrance can be a cute extra for special occasions. I wouldn't use it on irritated skin or near baby's face.
