Baby washes, nappy balms, lotions and pregnancy body care, developed and filled in Melbourne around fragrance-free formulas and ingredients with a long record in infant care.
Brief usCombinations we know work: a formulation from the catalogue and the actives it carries well.
Mild glucoside surfactants close to skin pH, with colloidal oatmeal and glycerin for comfort and panthenol to soften. A pump pack keeps one hand free at bath time.
Pump bottleZinc oxide dispersed in a waxy shea base sits on skin as a water-repellent layer, with bisabolol for comfort. Filled warm from a stirred tank so the zinc stays evenly suspended.

TubeColloidal oatmeal soothes and glycerin hydrates dry baby skin, while a ceramide complex supports the barrier. The oatmeal grade is specified low in bioburden and the formula challenge tested.
Squeeze bottleShea butter cushions and holds in moisture, ceramides support the barrier and vitamin E keeps the butters fresh. Controlled, stirred cooling stops the shea and ceramides turning grainy.

| Nappy rash claims | Nappy balms that only claim to moisturise and protect are cosmetics; nappy rash claims make them therapeutic. Barrier-only products are exempt from ARTG entry but are still TGA-regulated for quality, labelling and advertising. |
|---|---|
| Tear-free claims | 'Tear-free', 'hypoallergenic' and 'dermatologist tested' need supporting studies under Australian Consumer Law, and a tear-free claim on a baby wash needs an eye-tolerance study. |
| Eczema claims | 'Soothes dry skin' is cosmetic, but claims to treat or relieve eczema, rashes or dermatitis, or eczema imagery, can make it therapeutic; US oatmeal eczema labels do not transfer. |
| Preservation | Water-based baby products need a preservative system suited to infant use, challenge tested to ISO 11930; waterless balms are backed by an ISO 29621 risk assessment. |
| Stretch marks | 'Prevents stretch marks' needs evidence and may make a product therapeutic; 'moisturises skin as it stretches' keeps it cosmetic. |
