The Ultimate Baby Beauty Registry Your babe deserves self-care, too.

Okay, so obviously we hope that our little ones are light years away from skin cycling, contouring with Gua Sha, and asking for some iteration of glazed donut nails—but we’re still all for making self-care a priority and instilling its importance from a young age. Starting with infused spa water for babies… So, be it bubbles in the tub, poncho towels after bath time, or bamboo and goat hair bristle hair brushes only, whatever their fave indulgence comes to be, maybe by embracing their “me time” now, you can somehow thwart all the attention-seeking toddler years? I mean, one can dream…
We’ve done the research (and by that, we mean we’ve stalked a bunch of our favorite baby brands for the cutest and absolute best-performing products in the baby-beauty world; mmhmm it’s fun) to round up the best grooming and bath essentials with serious beauty influencer vibes.
If one or two happen to end up in your cart, at least you can say that you’ll use them too. That’s the thing about baby beauty products, because they’re designed for the most delicate and sensitive skin, they’re usually chock-full of natural and/or organic ingredients that are safer and better for you. What works for baby works for mama, too. #twinning
By a show of hands, who else has seriously traumatized their babe after a bath, taking a huge terry cloth towel to their face to wipe off any soap suds? Yup, we’ve done it. But this 100% organic micro cotton, highly-absorbent bunny does it better. Just slide it on your hand and gently pat their face, smooth their hair, wipe the tears from their eyes, if bath time being over means a meltdown is inevitable.
Our milky, mineral-rich bath soak soothes the body + calms the spirit. Designed with mamas-to-be in mind, its organic coconut milk + Himalayan sea salt blend nourishes skin as it stretches, relieves tired or swollen muscles, and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. Safe for pregnancy and beyond.
Cut from a luxe, ultra soft jersey fabric, this jumpsuit is a maternity and postpartum dream. We included functionality like a top layer that lifts up for easy nursing or pumping access, with side ruched detailing and a wide leg silhouette that was made to flatter. Dress it up, dress it down—whatever you’re feeling.
Cradle cap might not cramp your baby’s style, but it probably has you pulling your hair out (and eww, it’s pretty gross, too—my oldest son had rough patches on his scalp until he turned 6). Instead of picking… use this all-natural bamboo-handle brush instead. The 100% natural goat hair bristles gently massage baby’s scalp to lift off those unsightly scales without disturbing their sensitive soft spots. Definitely something for their budding beauty arsenal.
Bubbles make everything better—it’s a universal truth. So, when you’re getting tiny ready for the tub, add a few drips of this gentle, herbal, and fragrance-free bubble bath and watch their eyes bug out. It’s not a coconut milk and Himalayan sea salt soak, but it’ll do for the time being.
Johnson & Johnson and Baby Magic had the body wash game cornered in the 80s and 90s, when we were rub-a-dub-dubbing, but there are so many fun brands to check out now. This soft, creamy, and bubbly EWG-verified (i.e. no concerning chemicals) cleanser gets your duckling clean with < 10 all-natural, vegan, pure, and safe ingredients and a proprietary hydrator Beta-Baby™ that keeps their skin smooth and soothed. It’s the duck in the inner tube that does it for us, though…
True or false: There’s a certain kind of dread that overcomes a parent when they have to cut their baby’s nails? We’re going with a big ol’ TRUE on that one. So to quell your anxiety and get the job done, opt for an electric trimmer that uses gentle rotating filing pads to touch up and shape baby’s nails while preventing damage to surrounding skin, cuticles, and nail beds.
Breastfeeding is amazing + awesome but can be painful AF! This lanolin-free formula helps calm and soothe irritated nipps + relieve dry lips and other bits. Tropical butters and superfruits create a barrier against chapping and chafing.
Now, about that baby massage. Did you know that gentle, vibrational massage can help remedy sleep issues, constipation, colic, irritability, discomfort from teething? It can. It also offers a great opportunity for baby-mama bonding AND can even boost their IQ. Hot take: It’s a v. smart thing to practice with your baby, habitually, and this first-of-its-kind baby massage wand is what you do it with!
This quick-dry botanical belly oil intensely hydrates + reduces the appearance of stretch marks and scars. Created with mamas-to-be in mind, it supports skin as it stretches during pregnancy and beyond + provides nutrient-rich moisture without a greasy feel. This is how you wear your vitamins.
