Not only does the baby butter provide comfort and nourishment to your little one, it also encourages connection between caregiver and babe! Each ingredient has been specifically collected for its superb skin attributes.

Calendula oil – antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. It is useful for skin irritations and can help calm redness and inflammation and ease skin discomfort. In addition to being soothing for any skin, calendula can provide some relief from conditions like eczema or diaper rash. Calendula oil has been traditionally used for wound healing due to its ability to stimulate tissue regeneration and repair. It has natural soothing properties that can provide relief from skin discomfort, itching, and irritation. It can be particularly beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin types, helping to restore balance and comfort.

Shea butter – Shea butter is rich in fatty acids and vitamins, making it an excellent moisturizer for the skin. It contains compounds like cinnamic acid and lupeol cinnamate that have anti-inflammatory properties. This can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness and inflammation. The emollient properties of shea butter help to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, which can protect against environmental stressors and prevent moisture loss. Shea butter is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin making it a gentle option for soothing and hydrating delicate or irritated skin.

Cocoa butter – Cocoa butter is highly emollient and contains fatty acids that deeply penetrate the skin, helping to hydrate and nourish it. It forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, locking in moisture and preventing water loss, which is beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin. It contains antioxidants, such as flavonoids and polyphenols, which help combat free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress. Regular use of cocoa butter can help soften and smooth rough or dry patches of skin, making it feel more supple. Cocoa butter has natural calming and soothing properties that can alleviate irritation and inflammation.

Coconut oil – Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids, particularly lauric acid, which can help to hydrate and nourish the skin. It forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, preventing moisture loss and keeping the skin soft and supple. Coconut oil has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin. The fatty acids in coconut oil can help repair the skin’s natural barrier function, which is essential for protecting against environmental stressors and maintaining optimal skin health.

Jojoba oil – Jojoba oil closely resembles the natural oils produced by the skin, making it an excellent moisturizer. It helps to hydrate the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it suitable for all skin types. The molecular structure of jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, allowing it to penetrate deeply and nourish the skin. It helps to strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and environmental damage.

Beeswax –  Beeswax forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, sealing in moisture and preventing water loss. This helps to hydrate and soften the skin, making it particularly beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin. The waxy texture of beeswax creates a protective barrier on the skin, shielding it from environmental stressors (or diapers). This can help prevent damage and irritation, keeping the skin healthy and resilient. Beeswax contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its wound-healing properties. It is an emollient, meaning it helps to soften and smooth the skin. It is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and is less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to synthetic ingredients.

Vitamin E – Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals, which are molecules that can damage skin cells. It is a lipid-soluble compound that can help strengthen the skin’s natural barrier function and lock in moisture. This helps to hydrate and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and supple. Vitamin E has natural anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin. Vitamin E has been shown to promote wound healing by supporting the formation of new skin cells and enhancing tissue repair.
