We can all agree that newborn skin is fragile – and at the same time enormously strong, if you give it the right support. Our Oh, Baby! bath oil was developed with exactly that in mind: gentle, nourishing and strengthening, with pre- and probiotics to support the natural skin flora from day one. Like all Oh, Baby! products, the bath oil is natural, organic and vegan, without unnecessary additives and with respect for baby skin and the planet.
Below we share 4 practical ways in which you can use our bath oil in your daily care routine
- A dash in the bath water: Add a few capfuls of bath oil to the bath water to soften it. Thanks to the organic, plant-based oils and the probiotics, the skin barrier is nourished and the natural skin flora supported. That way "going for a bath" immediately becomes a care moment too.
- For a relaxing baby massage: Use a few drops of bath oil in warm hands to massage the legs, arms and torso with calm movements. This strengthens bonding and gives the skin an extra nourishing boost – especially lovely as a fixed evening ritual for restless babies. Would you like to know more about how to give a baby massage?

- For treating cradle cap: Gently massage a small amount of bath oil into the areas with cradle cap, let it work in, loosen the crusts gently with a circular movement of your fingertips and then wash it out with the mild Oh, Baby! shampoo. Thanks to the probiotics, the skin flora on the scalp is supported, which helps care for cradle cap and helps prevent it forming.
- As an extra mild cleanser: Apply the bath oil directly to damp skin in the bath, the Tummy Tub or under the shower, wash your child and rinse lightly. The oil does not foam, but it does cleanse and leaves baby skin supple, soft and intensely nourished – ideal for dry or sensitive skin.
