How to Use

Step 1: Massage the balm cleanser onto your baby's dry skin. During the massage, some oils will absorb into your baby's skin to help moisturize and hydrate it.

Step 2: Place your baby in the bathwater. The balm cleanser will transform into a cleansing milk, and the bathwater will transform into a milk bath. Your baby's skin will continue to be moisturized by the milky bathwater while they relax in the bathtub.

Step 3: Dry your clean and moisturized baby.

Cleansing is one of the most important parts of a skincare routine for sensitive skin. A microbiome-friendly cleanser helps remove impurities without disturbing the beneficial bacteria and natural balance that support healthy, comfortable skin.

Oil-based cleansing helps lift away dirt while being kinder to delicate skin than harsher surfactant-based washes. It helps maintain softness, reduce the feeling of dryness after washing, and better support the skin barrier.

The skin barrier plays a vital role in retaining moisture and protecting against irritation. Gentle cleansing helps maintain this barrier by cleaning without stripping natural oils, disrupting beneficial bacteria, or altering the skin’s natural pH—helping keep skin soft, calm, and resilient.

Prebiotic ingredients such as glycerin help create conditions that support beneficial bacteria already present on the skin. In this formula, glycerin also helps attract moisture, supporting skin comfort during cleansing.
