The Gentle Start

Barrier protection for eczema-prone, chapped skin
$80.00
Tax included.

The complete newborn skin kit — for sensitive skin from day one.

Everything baby’s skin needs, from the very first day.

The Gentle Start brings together BAEBY’s three leave-on essentials — formulated specifically for newborn, sensitive and reactive skin. Whether you’re navigating a flare-up, protecting a dry patch or just building a simple daily routine, this is where to begin.

  • Dry, rough or chapped skin
  • Eczema-prone and flare-up-prone skin
  • Redness from weather, rubbing or nappy friction
  • Protective barrier before bed, outdoor play or feeding time
  • Safe from newborns through to active toddlers

🛡️ Forms a breathable barrier that locks in hydration

💦 Buttery texture that melts in without grease or residue

🧷 One balm for cheeks, knees, dribble rash and dry patches — face and body

👶 Dermatologist tested, safe from day one

Gentle 7 Botanical Complex
A blend of 7 clinically studied plant extracts — including Centella, Licorice Root and Chamomile — that soothe, calm and protect against everyday irritation.

Nourishing Oil Blend
Sunflower, Castor, and Soybean Oils work together to replenish fatty acids and lock in moisture.

Warm a small amount between your fingers and apply to clean, dry skin.
Use on cheeks, body, neck folds, nappy area, arms and legs — anywhere that needs protection or extra softness.

Eczema & Dry Patches
Apply a thin layer to the affected area. Gently massage in. Reapply as needed to maintain hydration and calm.

Irritations & Redness
Dab balm onto irritated or itchy spots for instant soothing and relief.

Chapped Skin (Elbows, Knees, Cheeks)
Use on dry or cracked areas for deep hydration and protection.
