Like most women venturing into the uncharted waters of motherhood, I found myself swimming in questions and doubts about what was truly “best for baby.” And like so many others, I was determined to find answers.

Before my pregnancy, I ran a small business crafting organic candles and soaps. My journey into this world began when I realised how many everyday products are loaded with harmful chemicals—petroleum-based ingredients, synthetic fragrances, and other toxins that do more harm than good to our lungs and skin.

As I delved deeper into the world of natural living, I couldn’t help but scrutinise other personal care items, particularly moisturising creams. Did you know that your skin is the largest organ in your body? It’s shocking how many products marketed for “skin health” contain questionable ingredients.

When I became pregnant, life shifted. Moving abroad meant pausing my small business, but my passion for creating natural alternatives only grew stronger. My first project during pregnancy was a balm for my own growing belly—something to nourish and moisturise my stretching skin and help prevent stretch marks.

As my due date approached, a new question emerged: What about my baby’s skin? Surely, a newborn’s delicate skin deserved the absolute best. I went to countless shops, scanning the ingredients of baby lotions. Glycerin, Distearyldimonium Chloride, Petrolatum—half of the ingredients were unpronounceable, and many of them were petroleum-derived. Even the “organic” options weren’t much better.

That’s when inspiration struck. I already knew the benefits of natural ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, and beeswax. These were fantastic for my skin, but could they work for my baby? Weeks of research confirmed what I hoped—many of these simple, natural ingredients were perfect for a baby’s sensitive skin. I began experimenting and soon created a balm that was gentle, effective, and entirely free of synthetic additives.

I thought it was just for us—until I began sharing it with other expecting mothers. To my surprise, many of them were grappling with the same questions I had faced. The more I shared, the more I realised something important: not every mother has the time, energy, or resources to research and create their own natural products. Preparing for a baby is already overwhelming, and adding DIY skincare to the list can feel impossible.

That’s when it clicked. My journey into motherhood—and my passion for creating natural, safe alternatives—wasn’t just for me. It was for other mothers too. That’s why I decided to share my balms with the world. My mission is simple: to help mothers provide the gentlest care for their little ones and, in turn, make their lives a little easier.
