Even if your shower caddy is stocked with enough clean beauty products to last you the next year (*raises hand*), the soaps and lotions you use for yourself aren’t necessarily baby-approved (no-tears infant shampoo exists for a reason).
Truth: Rebooting your bath situation in advance of your mini me’s arrival is definitely a must. To prep, stock up on gentler formulas made specifically to care for your baby’s extra delicate skin.
Weleda, the mindful beauty line that’s been creating cult-fave products (hello, Skin Food) since 1921, is just as devoted to plant-rich ingredients with its baby-care collection. The full range of baby-approved bath products are all made without synthetic preservatives, fragrances, or mineral oil derivatives, so they’re delicate enough to be trusted to nourish even brand new baby skin.
And because you deserve some pampering too, ease into new motherhood with some gems specifically for yourself (that are just as filled with good-for-you ingredients). Just consider it an early Mother’s Day gift.

2-in-1 Gentle Shampoo & Body Wash
Nothing like that sweet new baby smell, right? This gentle hair and body wash leaves out all the eye-stinging chemicals and harsh fragrances so your baby smells fresh and clean—and ready for post-bath time snuggles.
$13
Comforting Body Lotion
After bath time, keep baby’s skin soft and nourished with this ultra-light lotion. Sweet almond, sesame oil, and chamomile extract support the skin’s natural moisture balance so your baby’s skin will feel, well, softer than a baby’s bottom.
$17
Nourishing Face Cream
Protect your baby’s super sensitive facial skin with a calendula face cream that acts like a nourishing shield against dryness and cracking. Apply a small amount to baby’s face every day—and test out the softness with lots of cheek kisses.
$14
Skin Food
For your own self-care, slather on some super moisturizing body cream. The thick beeswax base mixed with calendula and chamomile extracts is especially good for keeping rough areas like elbows, hands, and feet feeling soft and supple.
$19
Lavender Creamy Body Wash
Sneaking in shuteye when you can is huge for new moms, so make sure you’re prepped to catch those zzz’s by using a calming body wash in your shower or bath before bed. The steam from the hot water acts as a diffuser for the lavender essential oil in this creamy body wash, turning your bathroom into a relaxation oasis.
$10
Relaxing Body & Beauty Oil
As a busy mom, you probably won’t have time for a full pre-bedtime bubble bath every night (if only), but this soothing body oil is the next best thing. Infused with lavender and almond oil, it sinks into skin quickly, bringing with it a feeling of full-body relaxation.
$22
