Mother and Baby products from Neals Yard Remedies are arranged on a table

Baby Balm


This allergy-certified balm is fragrance-free and can be used anywhere that needs a little TLC, from top to toe. Nourishing shea butter has been combined with sunflower oil – which is rich in linoleic acid – to gently soften baby’s face, body and bottom. 

Pure Baby Oil


Our 100% organic massage oil gently softens skin and provides the perfect slip for a gentle, bonding massage. The soothing blend of chamomile, rose and lavender essential oils is perfect for a bedtime massage.


Baby Bath and Shampoo


A peaceful night’s sleep all starts with a bedtime routine, which begins with an evening bath for baby. Add a capful to running water or use as a mild shampoo and the organic lavender and chamomile oils will create a soothing bath time, while the vegetable-based cleanser gently cleans skin without stripping it. We’ve also swapped our signature glass packaging for a recycled plastic bottle for safe splash times.



Organic Cotton Flannel


Made from 100% organic, high quality cotton this flannel is unbleached and undyed for the gentlest cleaning experience for baby soft skin.

Organic Baby Powder


This is one of those products that every nursery and changing station needs. Being talc and fragrance-free, it is just perfect for refreshing and softening the most delicate of skins. Ultra-gentle organic corn starch and calming chamomile come together in this baby powder, which is light and fine and will leave your baby as fresh as a daisy.


Baby Barrier Cream


Ask any mother, and they will agree this is an essential part of your baby arsenal. Organic beeswax and chamomile protect baby’s skin from the elements to keep it soft and comfortable. Use on bottoms and anywhere that needs a little safeguarding, while still allowing it to breathe. A great partner for the Baby Powder, this duo would make for a practical, pretty thoughtful pressie.
