More moisture.

Did you know that your baby’s skin loses moisture much faster than yours? This is why using a mild baby soap is so important – especially if it’s one that replenishes moisture too. And if your little one gets baby rashes, try an ultra-gentle cream to soothe irritation from dryness. Baby Dove offers different kinds of baby lotion to suit the unique needs of your little one’s skin.

Gentle cleansing

When it comes to sensitive baby skin, pick our kind-to-skin bathtime essentials. Start by cleansing your little one with Baby Dove Caring By Nature Ultra Gentle Foaming Wash, enriched with vitamin E and 100% natural moringa oil (which is rich in essential nutrients) to soothe and nourish dry skin. Then, treat them to a gentle baby massage with our Caring by Nature Baby Oil, the fragrance-free, hypoallergenic baby oil that moisturizes and replenishes their delicate skin from first use.
