Our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it, so making the choice to use non-toxic products for baby hair & skin care can leave you at ease, knowing that you are using the safest ingredients.
Choosing non-toxic products for your baby is important because their bodies are more sensitive to chemicals than ours. Chemicals that are used in products can adversly affect their development.
We can’t completely eliminate our baby’s exposure to toxic chemicals, but we can definitely make conscious choices about the products we use for baby skin and hair care.
When you are looking at product labels, make sure the ingredient list of full of things you can pronouce. They shouldn’t be full of fillers and preservatives.
Here are a few of my favorite baby skin & hair products that are gentle, safe & moisturizing!
Young Living
I use essential oils daily in my household, so when Young Living came out with the Seedlings baby line, I knew I had to have it. What I love the most about Young Living is the Seed to Seal promise that guarantees the purity & potency of each oil.
The baby oil and linen spray are two of my favorite products from the Seedlings line. Everytime my son wears the oil, people ask if he is wearing cologne.
It has a nice, clean smell, and hydrates his skin.
The linen spray is lavendar scented and I spray it in his bed before a nap or bedtime. It has a nice calming effect, so sometimes I spray it on my own bed too!

Burts Bees
Burts Bees uses a variety of natural ingredients in their vast line of products: almond, aloe, beeswax, cocoa butter, honey, acai berry, just to name a few!
89% of their packaging is made from recylcable materials.
Not only do they make a wide range of products for expecting mamas and babies, but their products extend to oral care, makeup, and so much more!
Many Ethnicities
What I love about Many Ethnicities is that it was created by a multiracial mama who saw a need for multiracial curly haired kids to have products that worked specifically for them, and she created it! Her daughters have 3 different textures of curly hair, so she created her products with kids like hers in mind.
Honey Baby Naturals
Honey Baby Naturals is the first Latina owned hair and skin care line for naturals that is available in major retail stores. That alone is HUGE!!
For 15 years, she worked in the hair and skin care industry before stepping out to create a brand of her own. What I love about this line is she has hair and skin care products that are gentle enough for babies, yet powerful enough for your older kids too!
Shea Moisture
This brand has been around since the 90’s and doesn’t disappoint. Not only do they have hair and skin care items for babies, but they also have products for expecting and nursing moms!
I stumbled upon the nursing balm in TJMaxx while I was pregnant. It makes the perfect new mama gift!
