WHICH SKINCARE PRODUCTS DOES YOUR NEWBORN REALLY NEED?

For all the new moms out there!

Ladies, among the thousands of questions you may have now that you’ve brought home this sweet little human, let’s add one more:
Which skincare products does your newborn really need?

We’re certain you believe your baby needs dozens of tiny bottles of skincare products. But we’re equally certain this is just one big misconception!

The truth is, what your baby really needs is simplicity.

STEP #1: CLEANSING

It’s true that these little ones aren’t “dirty” in reality. Still, a soothing bath once a day or in the evening is essential—not only because it strengthens the bond between you and your baby, but also because it gently cleanses the skin and hydrates their delicate complexion, helping to prevent irritation.

Using warm water, lather a mild, natural soap—such as Akeso’s traditional fragrance-free soap—in your hands and apply it to the areas that need it most, like the head, diaper area, and those adorable little skin folds.

At Akeso, all our soaps are made using the cold process method, which helps preserve the full benefits of plant oils and butters.

We use only extra virgin olive oil as the base for our handmade soaps, enriched with coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter, to create deeply nourishing natural soaps—an ideal and safe choice for your baby’s extra-sensitive skin.

STEP #2: HYDRATION & PREVENTION

Many babies are prone to skin irritation, especially in the first months of life.

At some point, you’ll likely face the common diaper rash—but there are ways to prevent it.

Akeso’s natural beeswax balm for baby skin hydrates, soothes redness, and protects. Dermatologically tested, it’s specially designed for delicate infant skin (which means, for every little baby out there).

• Calendula, rich in carotenoids and flavonoids, calms irritation, soothes redness, and deeply moisturizes fragile baby skin.
• Chamomile, with its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, provides immediate relief, deep hydration, and extra protection.

So, during diaper changes, just follow these 2 simple steps:

1. Cleanse the diaper area with warm water and a natural soap free from fragrances or harsh chemicals.
2. Apply a generous layer of an all-natural balm (a beeswax ointment is the best option) and gently spread it over the skin.

AKESO’S TIP

Prepare your baby for bedtime with a gentle massage after their bath.

It’s a wonderful bonding experience for both of you, while also helping your little one relax, cry less, and sleep better.

Use a natural, mild oil—such as calendula oil, which nourishes and soothes the skin. It will help your baby rest peacefully and feel better. And isn’t that exactly what both of you need?
