My baby has dry skin and I need a general moisturiser. What would you recommend?
My baby has dry skin and I need a general moisturiser. What would you recommend?
You have two options.
The first is GAIA Natural Baby Moisturiser, a non-greasy, light cream that contains wheat germ oil and organic shea butter which are both great for dry, flaky skin.
If you’re looking for a richer product or prefer an oil, try GAIA Natural Baby Massage Oil. It’s made from cold-pressed sweet almond oil, a skin nutrient that provides deep moisturisation whilst softening and soothing dry and sensitive skin.

I have heard that I shouldn't use products with essential oils during pregnancy - is this true?
I have heard that I shouldn't use products with essential oils during pregnancy - is this true?
Not entirely. There are a small number of pure essential oils that are considered toxic and should be avoided during pregnancy. These include clary sage, fennel, sweet marjoram, myrrh, pennyroyal, rosemary, sage and thyme.
The pure essential oils and concentrations used in GAIA Natural Baby and GAIA Skin Naturals do not use any of these oils and so are completely fine to use during pregnancy without any concern.

I am allergic to nuts, do any of your products contain nut oils?
I am allergic to nuts, do any of your products contain nut oils?
That depends on your allergy – do you have a peanut, tree nut allergy or both? Only one of our products contain nuts or nut derivatives and that’s our GAIA Natural Baby Massage Oil which is made from cold-pressed sweet almond oil. Almonds are actually classified as a fruit and are low allergenic. However, our products are manufactured with other products containing nuts so it’s best if you do a patch test first.
You can request a sample of our Bath & Body Wash and Baby Moisturiser, however we do not have any Baby Massage Oil samples available at this stage.
Do you have a product that will help with my baby’s cradle cap?
Do you have a product that will help with my baby’s cradle cap?
Exactly what causes cradle cap remains a bit of a mystery. What is known is that it is better to use a product that is pH balanced, free from drying agents and is moisturising so as not to upset the natural oils of your baby’s scalp, which can lead to dryness and cradle cap.
We get a lot of feedback from mums who have babies with cradle cap that have used GAIA Natural Baby Massage Oil and Baby Shampoo with great success.
