Calming Baby Oil

The ritual of giving your baby a massage is one of the most beautiful forms of love one can give to their babies as well as themselves.

Calming Baby Oil is a product designed to address various needs your baby may have. It is formulated with just three ingredients: emu oil infused with calendula and chamomile flowers, which have all been proven to aid with itchy skin (pruritus), a symptom of skin ailments such as atopic dermatitis/eczema. Calendula and chamomile flowers are also known for their ability to relax the mind and body, so when infused with emu oil, the combination becomes a wonderful oil for massaging your little one, and even as a moisturiser for freshly bathed skin. The oil is clear and light in texture and won't leave an oily residue on the baby's skin, nor will it stain their clothes. The natural heat of the massage and the gentle notes of chamomile and calendula will leave both mum and her baby calm and balanced.

Like all the products in the Nurture range, this product was designed to support the skin's microbiome and match the baby's skin's makeup as closely as possible. It comprises only the purest ingredients, free from all nasties, fillers, and inflammatory components.

If you or your baby suffer from a salicylate allergy or sensitivity, we recommend using our Emu Oil (Therapeutic Grade) as a massage medium instead.
