When it comes to babyface creams, the markets online and offline are flooded. As a mom, I felt confused with the bombardment of product recommendations from friends, family, and Television. Nowadays, it’s even on social media. As a mom and a practicing Doctor, I am careful about what I put on my face and my baby’s face too. That’s why I only share information about brands and products I have used and trust. This is my complete list of The Top 10 Babyface creams for kids so that you can choose with awareness.

Skincare is not just for today, but it’s the building block for good immunity life-long. Skin is the largest organ, and a baby’s skin is thinner and more delicate than adult skin. Choosing products that will care for, nourish, protect and make firm your baby’s skin is essential. What you apply to your baby’s skin today will have an effect even years later.

Mother Sparsh Plant powered Natural Baby face cream.

The barrier function of the skin, its protective function, can only work when it’s nourished, healthy, and strong. This is where Mother Sparsh shines. Since it’s a Made in India brand, their understanding of the Indian skin and climate conditions are superior to that of foreign brands; their baby care cream formulation is thus as light as a mother’s touch; the cream is well absorbed without any signs of stickiness.
The main ingredients are organic coconut oil, jojoba oil, and wheat germ oil.

Coconut oil: Best oil for getting absorbed into the skin and nourishing it from inside is coconut oil, and my love for this oil is well known. Even when I shared about my favorite baby lotions.

Wheat germ oil: It helps protect from allergies. It’s enriched with Vitamins A, B, and D and helps keep your baby’s skin moist and supple for a long time.

Jojoba oil: Reduces redness and irritation with its hypoallergenic properties.
It also contains shea butter, aloe vera extract, Apricot oil, beeswax. It hydrates gently and prevents loss of moisture from your baby’s delicate skin. It gives hydration and long-lasting nourishment to soothe dry, irritated skin. The formulation is absorbed quickly; it’s nongreasy, hypoallergenic, and has no synthetic fragrance. The baby cream is safe, organic, nongreasy, travel-friendly, pocket-friendly, skin-friendly, and baby-friendly, making it a perfect fit for my baby care needs.

It’s free from harmful chemicals such as silicon, parabens, dyes, phthalate, etc. The Mother Sparsh baby care range is focused on quality baby care, plant-based, safe for the baby, safe for the skin, and environment-friendly.

What to avoid in baby care products?

Avoiding products with parabens, Mineral Oil & Synthetic Colors, artificial fragrances, SLS, Sulphates, and their derivatives as far as possible is a good first step.
You should also not use any adult products on baby skin.
Checking the expiry date of baby creams before applying them is crucial.

Which cream is best for a baby’s face?

Creams that contain baby-safe, eco-friendly products are best for a baby’s face. Creams without parabens, mineral oil, synthetic dyes, alcohol-containing products, or Sodium Laureth sulfate. There can be no blanket recommendation because every baby is unique, and so is their skin. Before using and baby care products, don’t forget to do a patch test on your skin.

How to do a patch test?

Apply the product on the soft inner skin of the forearm next to the elbow. The skin should be clean and free from any irritation, abrasion, or lesion. Keep a watch on the area for forty-eight hours. Check for redness, itching, or any other skin changes. Usually, absence of such a reaction denotes the product is safe to use.

Will you put moisturizer on your baby’s face?

Yes, you can put moisturizer on your baby’s face. Baby moisturizing lotion and cream serve two different purposes. Lotions classically have more water content and spread more quickly. Creams being heavier are suitable for dry skin, needing more barrier function.
