Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best baby lotion for newborn skin?
Just Gentle Baby Face & Body Lotion is 97% natural with organic shea butter and aloe vera - two of the most effective and well-tolerated moisturisers for newborn skin. It is ECOCERT certified organic, dermatologically tested, and safe from birth. Free from parabens, phthalates, SLS, mineral oils, and synthetic fragrance. Available in Lavender (natural French lavender essential oil, ideal for bedtime) and Melon (allergen-free fragrance, ideal for daytime). Apply immediately after bathing to lock in moisture while skin is still slightly damp.
What is the difference between the lavender and melon lotion?
Both are the same base formula - 97% natural, ECOCERT certified organic, with organic shea butter and aloe vera. The difference is the scent. Lavender uses natural French lavender essential oil - calming, ideal for the evening bath and bedtime routine. Melon uses an allergen-free fragrance free from all 26 EU-listed fragrance irritants - light, fresh, and ideal for morning or daytime use. Both are available individually (200ml) or as a twin pack. A mixed twin pack with one of each is also available.
Is Just Gentle lotion safe for eczema-prone baby skin?
Just Gentle Baby Lotion is dermatologically tested and formulated to moisturise without triggering irritation. It uses organic shea butter - a well-established emollient - and organic aloe vera for soothing. Free from SLS, parabens, mineral oils, phthalates, and synthetic fragrance. The Melon variant uses allergen-free fragrance (free from the 26 EU-listed irritants) rather than synthetic fragrance. For eczema-prone skin, apply generously immediately after bathing to support the skin barrier. For medical eczema management, always consult a paediatric dermatologist.
When should I apply baby lotion?
Apply immediately after bathing - within 3 minutes of patting (not rubbing) the skin dry. This is when the skin is most receptive to moisture absorption and the lotion seals in hydration most effectively. For babies in air-conditioned environments (common in the UAE), a second application at midday or bedtime helps prevent the dryness that air conditioning causes on thin infant skin. Just Gentle Baby Lotion absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film.
What does the soothing cream do and when should I use it?
Just Gentle Baby & Kids Soothing Cream (30ml) is a steroid-free, ECOCERT certified organic balm for insect bites, rashes, and minor skin irritation. It uses organic aloe vera, chamomile, lavender, and peppermint oil to cool and calm on contact - reducing itching, redness, and swelling. Apply directly to the affected area as needed. Suitable from 6 months. Small enough for a nappy bag or school first-aid kit. Not a replacement for medical treatment in cases of severe allergic reaction.
