Newborn or under a year? Check with your pediatrician or doctor before using any new skin product.
Dry skin and hair in the first months
Newborn skin loses moisture quickly. Hair and scalp can feel dry too, especially after a bath.
A small amount of oil after bath time may help skin and hair feel soft again. Many parents make it part of the evening routine.
Nothing questionable on baby's skin
When you're picking something for a newborn, you read every label. We get it.
Coconut Baby has three ingredients, and you can read all of them in a few seconds. No mineral oil. No added fragrance. Nothing you need to look up.
What's in the jar
| Organic coconut oil | Cold-pressed. The base of the blend. Firm when cool, it melts in warm hands. |
| Organic sunflower oil | Helps it spread easily. |
| Organic grape seed oil | A light oil that rounds out the blend. |
Just three oils, blended together. Allergic or sensitive to any of these oils? Please skip it.
How parents use it
- After bath. Pat dry and leave skin a little damp.
- Warm a little in your hands. Scoop a small amount and rub it between your palms until it melts.
- Skin. Smooth a thin layer on dry spots — arms, legs, cheeks if needed.
- Scalp and hair. Warm a little more, massage gently into the scalp, then smooth through the hair. Comb or brush if you use one.
- Start small. Try a small area first, and stop if you see redness or irritation.
Label directions: “Apply as often and as much as desired to hair or skin”
Keep it simple to store
Store at room temperature. In a cool room it turns firm. In a warm room it softens or melts. Both are normal. It's the same oil either way.
One jar for hair and skin
You don't need a separate product for hair and one for skin. Coconut Baby is the same jar for dry newborn skin, scalp and hair. One jar on the changing table.
