The Ultimate Guide to Baby and Kid’s Skincare

Mambino has a large selection of baby skincare products, but--here’s a secret--they’re really truly perfect for big kids and adults, too! Check out a few of customer favorites that work on everyone in the family from young to old. 

OurUltra-Calming Sensitive Baby Oil is a lightweight, hydrating oil that’s easily absorbed and helps protect against dry and itchy skin. Made with organic plant oils and extracts like jojoba oil and safflower oil, plus evening primrose oil to maintain healthy skin as well as reduce redness and irritation. Warm the oil between hands, then massage into skin using gentle strokes. (This helps to calm a fussy baby, or can be a quick self-massage.) 

Insider tip: What really makes this a favorite is that this hypoallergenic formula is free of fragrance, nut oils, dairy, oat or soy, so it’s ideal for anyone with skin sensitivities or allergies. 

There’s nothing worse than changing a messy diaper while your baby screams in pain as you clean their bottom. The specially formulatedLittle Bottoms Diaper Balm is made for a baby’s delicate skin that is prone to diaper rash and prickly heat. By creating a moisture barrier infused with organic colloidal oatmeal and natural antioxidants, this balm works as well as a zinc oxide formula without leaving a messy residue on the skin! Plus, it’s hypoallergenic, pediatrician-approved and cloth diaper-safe. 

Insider tip: This sleek little stick doubles as a skin salve to use on cuts and scrapes. 

It’s baby’s first spa appointment! Our extra-mildSoothing Oatmeal Bath Powder is made for newborns to naturally nourish and soothe their skin without any detergents, preservatives or dyes. Use one to two scoops in the water to create a milky bath. Organic arrowroot and calendula powders have anti-inflammatory benefits, while marshmallow root powder softens and nourishes skin. Along with colloidal oatmeal to soothe and milk powder to moisturize, this bath powder works wonders on skin. 

Insider tip: A few scoops added to a bath for big kids or adults is a treat when skin feels dry and irritated, especially in the winter or dry climates. 

TheDaily Essentials Face and Body Lotion is a non-greasy, easily absorbed lotion that little ones love. (And a favorite of the parents that write to us!) The silky-smooth texture soothes dry, itchy skin thanks to organic Madagascar tamanu oil, which has high levels of gamma linolenic acid that prevents skin redness and irritation. Organic coconut and evening primrose oils seal in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss (a fancy way of saying that skin is losing moisture from the inside out); plus organic aloe vera and green tea extracts nourish and soothe. 

Insider tip: The Daily Essentials Lotion combined with our baby oil or massage oils is the most luxe way that we know how to pamper little skins. Seriously, topping an oil with a layer of lotion transforms forms skin like nothing we’ve ever seen. 

The heavenly, lavender-scentedNurture Me After Bath Massage Oil is a light, soothing blend that leaves skin ultra-soft and nourished. With healing calendula, soothing chamomile and calming lavender all in a jojoba oil base, this oil is a massage in a bottle. It’s great on warm skin right after a bath or a shower. 

Insider tip: Warm the oil between your hands and apply with gentle strokes to calm a fussy baby and strengthen the bond between parent and child.
