Baby Creams & Ointments

Baby Creams & Ointments

Baby creams and ointments help moisturise and care for delicate baby skin. Choose a product according to your baby's age, skin needs and intended use, such as everyday moisturising, sensitive skin, dry cheeks or diaper-area care.

Types of Baby Creams & Ointments

Baby Moisturising Cream

Designed for everyday hydration, baby moisturising creams can be used on the face and body when the product is suitable for the baby's age.

Baby Face Cream

Face creams are formulated for delicate facial skin and can be useful for dryness on areas such as the cheeks.

Sensitive Skin Cream

These creams are designed for babies with sensitive skin. Look for clearly stated product claims such as pH-balanced, fragrance-free or dermatologist-tested rather than assuming all baby creams have the same formulation.

Diaper Rash Cream

Diaper rash creams are intended for the diaper area. The Babyhug Advanced Everyday Protection Diaper Rash Cream is listed for 0–24 months and is available in 50 g and 100 g sizes.

Baby Lip Balm

Baby lip balms help moisturise dry lips. The Babyhug collection currently includes a Vanilla Lip Balm in a 4.5 g pack.

Best Baby Creams for Different Needs

How to Choose the Best Baby Cream

• For newborns: Choose a product that clearly states it is suitable for 0+ months.
• For sensitive skin: Check for specific claims such as pH-balanced, fragrance-free or dermatologist-tested.
• For dry face or cheeks: Choose a moisturising face cream designed for baby skin.
• For the diaper area: Use a cream specifically labelled for diaper rash rather than a regular face or body moisturiser.
• For everyday use: Consider the texture and whether it is intended for the face, body or both.

Baby Cream Safety Tips

Check the recommended age and product instructions before use. Apply only to the intended area and stop using the product if your baby's skin develops irritation or an unusual reaction. For persistent or severe rashes, consult a paediatrician.
