Why is natural care essential from birth?

Thin, delicate… and vulnerable skin

At birth, a baby's skin is still being formed.
It is thinner than that of an adult, more permeable , therefore more sensitive to chemical substances and still immature in terms of immunity .

Result: it absorbs what is applied to it more easily... and reacts more quickly to irritants.

Every product counts!

Why choose natural care from the very first days?

1. To protect the skin barrier

The protective barrier of the skin is not yet fully formed in the newborn.

Natural treatments, based on gentle and non-aggressive ingredients , allow you to:

hydrate without attacking , nourish without disturbing and soothe without overloading .

Example of safe ingredients:

• organic sweet almond oil,
  
  

• pure shea butter,
  
  

• camelina oil,
  
  

• chamomile floral water.
  
  

2. To avoid controversial substances

Some conventional products may contain: synthetic perfumes,
parabens, phenoxyethanol , phthalates, or even mineral oils from petrochemicals .

💡 These substances can be irritating, sensitizing, or even suspected of being endocrine disruptors .

3. To create sensory and healthy rituals

Care is not just a routine. It is a moment of connection, gentleness, and presence .
A massage with natural oil, a wash with organic liniment, a warm bath with a few drops of herbal infusion...
These are real moments of connection between baby and parent.

What natural care should you choose for a newborn?

From the first days, it only takes a little:

• 🧼 A gentle , soap-free, fragrance-free washing gel
  
  

• A natural liniment , based on lime water and vegetable oil
  
  

• A pure vegetable oil for massaging and preventing dryness
  
  

• A neutral moisturizer , without harsh preservatives (if necessary)
  
  

👉 Bonus: the less you use, the better. It's slow cosmetics for babies .

A good habit: read the labels

Before buying baby care, get into the habit of checking: the INCI list (composition), the presence of certifications (Cosmos Organic, Ecocert, Nature & Progrès, etc.) and the absence of perfume or alcohol.

To guide you, you can consult the official website of the European Commission on cosmetic ingredients .
