There is an unwritten rule that the moment you bring a little human into this world, you begin looking at everything microscopically. Watch any new parent in action and you will know what I am talking about. You'll find them standing in the supermarket aisle, scanning the back of every baby product to check what’s in it that can harm, or not harm their little one. Sound familiar? So, we dug deep to find nine homegrown brands that will help you shower your baby in all the goodness minus any and all nasties.
9 Homegrown Baby Care Brands That Are Safe For Your Baby And The Planet
Maate
Maate means mother in Sanskrit. This brand’s toxin-free and Ayurveda-inspired products are like an ode to a new mother and the earth. Need something that offers long hours of hydration and extra nourishment to your baby’s skin? Try out their Baby Body Butter which comes with saffron oil and kokum butter. The next time you're invited to a baby shower, you'd be wise to remember Maate's Heavenly Hydration Gift Box. It contains the best skincare for a newborn, hands down!
MamaEarth
If you follow Mommy Bloggers, chances are you have already seen a lot of this brand on your Instagram. With Mama Earth, you can match your skincare routine with that of your baby’s as they make amazing, all-natural bodycare products for both Mumma and her bubs. If I may digress a little, mom or not, you have to try their face Ubtan mask. My most notable picks for the kiddos though are their bathing bars and face cream.
Lotus Baby
If you love Lotus’ herbal solutions for your skin and hair, you have to try out their baby product range. Completely free of all chemicals and preservatives, their baby care products are super gentle on your little one’s skin. My absolute favourite is the Feathery Pecks Soft Baby Cream. It’s non-greasy, absorbs quickly and leaving behind the softest kissable cheeks!
Himalaya
Himalaya’s baby care products need no introduction. While it’s hard to beat that new-born baby smell, the scent of Himalaya’s Ayurvedic products comes pretty damn close. I regulary use their baby powder on both my babies (young and old). It’s mild, safe and very effective in preventing any sort of rashes.
Biotique
Biotique’s baby care range, besides been all-natural is also a lot of fun. The packaging with popular cartoon characters on it looks very appealing to the little ones. I love their Bio Berry Mommy and Baby Bubble Bath. The Bio Aloe Vera Baby Sunscreen is a must-have when you're headed for a beach vacation with the tiny tots.
Mother Sparsh
Mother Sparsh’s plant-based, natural and eco-friendly baby care products provide the best care your baby’s gentle skin can possibly get. Their water-based wipes with natural plant derived fabric became an instant hit among parents. Try their power combo of plant-based body wash, lotion, and face cream, you won’t regret it.
Omved
This brand keeps things simple. From their minimalist, dual-toned packaging that does not scream ‘baby!’ to their essentials-only product range that even includes a baby ubtan. If you have been hunting a baby oil that is a powerhouse of all nutrients that your little one’s growing body needs, look no further. Omved’s Shishu Massage Oil is rich in Vitamin E & medicinal herbs that even eases colic pain, and helps with sleep issues.
Azafran
Azafran’s baby care range is all about organic ingredients that are gentle and safe on babies. Staying far from parabens & sulphates, they use only plant-based ingredients like coconut & soya that keeps your bub’s sensitive skin healthy, we're big fans of the 2-in-1 body wash. Apart from the regular daily care products for babies, Azfran also offers eco-friendly laundry products and organic veggie crayons made with organic waxes of soya, sunflower, and food grade colours.
The Moms Co
Say hello to toxin-free skincare solutions for both baby and mommy with The Moms Co.
