This range covers the three everyday essentials of baby skincare: lotion for daily moisture, oil for massage and skin nourishment, and powder to keep folds dry and rash-free. All Popees skincare is formulated to be mild on newborn skin —no harsh actives, no strong perfume.
Lotion
Newborn skin loses moisture faster than adult skin, so a lightdaily lotion after bath prevents dryness —look for pH-balanced, paraben-free formulas and patch-test anything new on the inner arm for 24 hours.
Oil
Daily massage is a well-loved Indian tradition with real benefits —circulation, bonding and calmer sleep. Choose light, easily absorbed oils and warm a small amount between your palms; avoid massaging over broken or rashy skin.
Powder
Use sparingly and only where skin folds trap moisture (neck, thighs, underarms). Shake into your hand away from the baby’s face, never directly onto the chest —inhaled powder is the main risk, not the powder itself. Cornstarch-based options are gentler than heavy talc.
Whento stop and see a doctor
Persistent rash, broken skin or reactions after any product means pause use and consult your paediatrician —no cosmetic product treats a skin condition.
When can I start using lotion and oil on a newborn?
Massage oil can begin in the first weeks once the cord area heals; lotion whenever skin looks dry. Introduce one product at a time and patch-test first.
Is powder safe for babies?
Used correctly, yes small amounts on body folds, applied from your hand, kept away from the face so it isn’t inhaled. Never dust it in the air near the baby.
Which oil is best for baby massage?
A light, skin-tested baby massage oil that absorbs without heavy residue. Avoid strongly perfumed or warming oils on infant skin
What ingredients should I avoid in baby skincare?
Strong fragrance, parabens, harsh sulphates and undiluted essential oils. Baby products should be minimal, mild and pH-balanced.
