Our Ingredients
INGREDIENT ENCYCLOPEDIA

Baby’s skin is exceptionally sensitive and Mum’s skin also needs attentive care at this special stage of life. We have thus lovingly formulated products containing only gently effective, soothing and nurturing ingredients of the highest quality, to provide Baby and Mum with the very best.
As the skin is our largest organ, and anything applied to it is easily absorbed into the bloodstream, we believe product ingredients should be safe enough to eat. We chose NOT to use ingredients known to cause skin irritation or that are suspected to be harmful. We believe the human body is an amazing gift. Caring for it with only the highest quality nutrients supports it function at its greatest potential.
We use only raw organic cold-pressed oils to ensure the high content of nutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin A and E are not destroyed by heat or chemicals.
By sourcing sustainable, biodegradable and renewable ingredients and minimal, recyclable packaging, we care for the environment as well as the skin.
