Remember the joy of holding your baby for the first time?
The anxiety around making mistakes when cradling the baby
Worrying every time you thought of buying a new product for the little one?
It is natural for a new parent to feel all this and more. The good part is that thanks to the internet we can find a lot of information instantly and vet them with experts before finalizing one. However, the avalanche of information can be confusing. This is where product reviews, other parents’ suggestions, and my pediatrician’s suggestions worked for me.
As a mom, I have had anxiety attacks in the past over various things, and the one thing that I learnt from all of that was using natural products is best for the baby and the environment. Today I am going to share the best baby face creams, I found in India. I do not rank these in any specific order, and I am only focusing on the benefits and their efficacy.
Difference between baby face cream and baby lotion
This is the one thing that confused me initially. While both the face cream and the baby lotion help in moisturizing the baby’s delicate skin, it is their formulation that marks them differently. A baby cream is thick and has nearly 50% cream and remaining water, while the lotion is a light solution with nearly 70% water.
I usually applied baby lotion once in the mornings and later moisturized with baby face cream as and when required depending on the season.
Things to consider when choosing a baby face moisturizer
- A baby product must be free of Parabens, dyes, silicon, and other harsh chemicals
- It must be hypoallergenic
- It should not contain artificial fragrances
- It should contain natural ingredients like shea butter, natural essential oils, milk proteins, or other essential fatty acids.
- Always make it a point to read the labels before picking up a baby product.

Choose a product that best suits your baby’s skin care needs and always bet on natural and safe products.

I’ve never had baby face cream in my shopping list for gifts to my mom-friends and my godkids! Thanks for sharing this list of good brands. Will try to find them here in Manila.
I heard about Aveeno baby cream and shower gel. They are actually really good for the baby.
I am familiar with Aveeno. I like the brand because it is very gentle to the skin. I will try and look for the other brands. They would make good gifts for a mom-to-be.
These all sound like great products. I know for sure that Aveeno is great because I use their hand cream every day.
These are great picks! I’ve never used baby face cream before, but I really want to now. I’ll be making sure to use all of these when I try it.
I am only familiar with Aveeno on this list of creams. Most of my friends’ kids are past the baby stage but I will keep these in mind if someone around me has a new baby.
I had only heard of 2 babyface creams in this list. I hope all of them suit the kids!
Babies skin is already soft, but it still needs care. And these products sound excellent for the task at hand.
I have used Aveeno, Himalaya. Haven’t used any of the other brands. But I am hearing a lot about Mother Sparsh these days.
I heard a lot about baby face cream! It really helps the skin of babies to be smooth and moisturized. Great list and examples. I’ll buy one for my niece.
We love using the Aveeno soothing relief for our babies! We like that it’s lightweight and it’s not too sticky. The scent is also just right.
Aveeno is one I am familiar with. However, I am not familiar with the others. It will be fun to explore them a bit.
Babies’ skin is so delicate that we need to be very cautious while selecting anything for their skincare. I am using Mother Sparsh for a long time for my kids!!
Mother Sparsh is my fav brand too buddy, their wipes are indeed the best, have used the for years
I have used Aveeno for my kids when they were small. But heard that Mother Sparsh is also good for babies.
I’ve used baby lotus and mother sparsh for my kids and I liked them both as they are very gentle on the skin and also light. That’s a nice list you have compiled and recommended.
Given the soft and sensitive skin of babies it’s imperative, we use good and sensitive products. I also used chemical-free and organic products for both my kids. Mothersparsh has been a major part of my son’s early childhood too.
I have used some of the brand’s for baby face cream and the most important thing I prefer is natural ingredients
I am currently using Mothersparsh baby cream for my son. I also like the sebamed baby face cream.
I was also initially confused between cream and lotion , later understood that. And yes Mothersparsh face cream leaves skin moisturized for longer hours.
Im only familiar with Aveeno but Im so glad that are so many options out there so you can find what’s best for your baby
I already tried Aveeno baby cream and shower gel, and they are really good.
I have never tried some of these baby creams products before, but I can say that Aveeno product is really a great one.
Wow so many brands I have never heard of. I will definitely be checking my kids creams and lotions!
i have used aveeno for my family; the rest are new to me . will share this with moms in India
I swear by aveeno baby products I think they work so well for us
Thanks for the tips! This would be a great product to give as a baby shower gift!
I have used aveeno but haven’t heard of the rest. Great list
I’ve been using Aveeno for my baby’s skin care. It works well hydrating his skin.
It is good that you have clearly explained the difference between Face cream and lotion. When it comes to face creams for babies, one needs to be really choosy. These are all good and safe brands.
I bought mamaearth kit for my son. Thank you for sharing these. Will consider them after using this mamaearth kit.
With a plethora of choices available these days, choosing the best baby cream for our child would be a tough choice. You have cited the details of the creams which make it easier to choose
Since my daughter’s skin is very sensitive, I have to be very careful while selecting creams for her. This is a helpful post
I always wanted to have one dedicated face cream for kids use that is natural and really loved Mothersparsh one as its just great on babies skin.
