Best vegan and natural mother and baby care products

Close up of baby being held by mothers hands
Here's the best vegan and natural baby care products currently available. With so much available it can be overwhelming, let us take care of that for you!

These days, there are so many options for mum and newborn baby products, that it can sometime be a little overwhelming to know which one is best, especially if you are a new parent.

And if you are a first time parent, you are likely to be getting advice thrown at you from all areas, much of it unsolicited, some of it brilliantly useful and some of it unwanted!

Over the last few years vegan, organic and natural baby products have become more and more popular, with lots of parents choosing them over synthetic based products.

So if going vegan and natural is your thing, which are some of the best mother and baby products to look out for? 

Why is it important to use natural products for baby care?

A baby’s skin is thinner and more delicate than that of an adult and so it is important to choose products which are not going to damage or irritate the skin.

Products which are made from natural ingredients and essential oils can have calming, therapeutic benefits.1

By contrast, harsh, synthetic chemicals can cause adverse reactions and so a baby’s soft skin will benefit from gentle, nourishing ingredients.2

What care products does a baby need?

A baby skin care regime can include a:

  • body wash
  • shampoo
  • lotion or moisturiser
  • nappy cream3

You will also need a sun care product if your baby is spending time outdoors, although be sure that you do not leave the baby in direct sunlight, as their skin is so delicate that it can easily burn.

Best natural products for baby

Here is our guide to some of the vegan and natural mother and baby care products available to keep your baby’s skin looking nourished, hydrated and healthy.

Body wash

When it comes to baby’s bath time, you need a gentle product which will clean their skin without causing sensitivity.

Dr Bronner’s Baby Unscented Pure-Castile Liquid Soap

This soap has no added fragrance, which means that it is good for babies, as well as adults with particularly sensitive skin.

As well as being great for your baby, it is also great for the planet as the soap is biodegradable and the packaging 100% post-consumer recycled. The product is also certified Fair Trade.

Tiddly Pom Organic Baby Wash

If you are looking for organic baby products, then Tiddly Pom Organic Baby Wash is for you.

This gentle wash contains English lavender and chamomile oils for delicate, new born baby skin.

Moisturiser

Using a moisturiser is great for keeping your baby’s skin hydrated.

Massaging the moisturiser into the skin can also be a nice bonding experience for the parent or carer and baby.

This form of baby massage can even help with the baby’s digestion and brain development as well!4

MooGoo Sensitive Skin Balm

MooGoo Sensitive Skin Balm is a lightweight formula which is packed with natural ingredients such as sweet almond oil, aloe vera and centella asiatica.

Developed for the most sensitive of skins, this product is one of the best baby lotions and is suitable for adults too, so you only need to buy one product for the whole family!

Nappy cream

Applying a nappy cream to your baby’s skin, before you put a new nappy on, can help to prevent sensitivity and nappy rash, reducing any redness caused by wearing a nappy.

Calendula Baby & Child Nappy Change Cream

Containing 100% natural ingredients, this rich cream helps to care for the delicate skin in the nappy area.

Lanolin and zinc oxide provide a protective barrier against excessive moisture while almond oil, calendula and chamomile extracts soothe the skin and provide gentle care.

Best natural products for mum

As well as your baby, you also need to take good care of yourself both during and after pregnancy and childbirth.

Pregnancy has a wide range of effects on the body and the skin and so it is important to pay attention to these areas throughout your pregnancy and once the baby is born. 

Moisturiser

As your tummy grows, your skin experiences stress from stretching and so a moisturiser may help to keep your skin supple, smooth and moisturised. It may even help to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter

This creamy moisturiser is made from 99% natural ingredients, including cocoa, shea butter and jojoba butter.

It gently and safely moisturises and nourishes the stretching skin around the tummy area, keeping the skin smooth and supple.

Nursing tea

Breastfeeding, should you choose to do so, can be a wonderful experience between you and your baby.

However, not everyone takes to it with ease and some mothers find it difficult and stressful. Relaxing with a herbal tea can help to take the pressure off.

Weleda Nursing Tea

This is a soothing organic herbal tea which helps to support lactating for mums who are breastfeeding.

Containing Fenugreek, Anise, Fennel, Caraway and Lemon verbena, it is suitable for vegans and perfect for relaxing, stress-free feeding times.

Perineal oil

Perineal massage is recommended from 34 weeks of pregnancy, as this can manage the risk of needing a cut, or badly tearing during labour and can help provide care after childbirth.5

Natural Birthing Co Down Below Perineal Oil

This is a vegan, fragrance-free blend, which is suitable for use all over the body to support the skin’s natural elasticity.
