Baby’s sensitive skin: A round-up of products gentle enough to use on your little one
Nourish and hydrate baby's delicate skin.
When it comes to new parenthood, you are faced with an overwhelming amount of decisions.
One of the choices you’ll face in the first days, weeks and months of your little one’s life is deciding which baby care products to use.

Ecoriginals nappies
Ecoriginals nappies are more than 90% plant based. So free from any of the common irritants, such as fragrance, bleach, phthalates and other toxins that are common causes of nappy rash.
Ecoriginals’ breathable, natural layers ensure there is adequate airflow which is what healthy happy skin needs.
Ecoriginals has also found a plant-based solution to avoid plastic in the backsheet, which is found in all other disposable nappies on the market, which is guilty of causing babies’ bottoms to heat up, causing discomfort, and contributing to irritation and rash.
Furthermore, Ecoriginals incredible Plantcell Technology is designed to wick liquid away from baby’s skin immediately, meaning our nappies stay dry to the touch and hold up to 900ml of liquid in the central plant-based core.
Water Wipes
Suitable for sensitive, newborn and premature baby’s skin, Water Wipes contain only two ingredients, 99.9% water and a drop of fruit extract.
These new and improved wipes are purer than cotton wool and water, but are now better for the planet as they are now also biodegradable.

Formulated with mild, organic and natural plant-based cleansers, it’s gentle and tear-free.
