My Expert Midwife
My Expert Midwife formulates skincare products that are designed for use during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Recently, the British brand launched a new midwife-developed and paediatrician-approved range created specifically for babies. All products have been designed to work alongside a step-by-step guide to help baby’s skin get the best start in life.
According to Lesley Gilchrist, registered midwife and co-founder of My Expert Midwife, "We have developed our collection of baby skincare products to prevent skin problems, soothe problem areas, and create naturally simple, practical solutions. A newborn’s skin is around 30% thinner than that of an adult, therefore from the moment of birth their skin needs different and more careful treatment than adult skin as it is more prone to being sensitive to irritants encountered and breaking down."
Burt's Bees
Burt's Bees is the famous natural skincare brand born out of Burt Shavitz's honey business. The honey man teamed up with friend Roxanne Quimby in the early 80s to create candles and lip balms using his famous local honey. From there, the brand grew into the huge beauty brand we know and love today! Sitting alongside the Burt's Bees range of skincare, bodycare, and grooming products is a gorgeous collection created just for babies.
Hero products include the Diaper Ointment and Nourishing Baby Oil. The Diaper Ointment (£9.49 Boots) is an 100% natural cream that not only soothes and treats nappy rash and sore bottoms, but also provides a protective barrier to prevent future issues. It is scentless, easy to apply, and helps to nourish baby's skin, as well as protect and treat it. The Nourishing Baby Oil (£11.99 lookfantastic.com) is a lightweight moisturiser that is packed with apricot and grapeseed oil to nourish and protect the skin. It massages over the skin quickly and easily, absorbs fully in under a minute, and has a lovely subtle honey scent.
