Infant massage has well-documented benefits for development, bonding, and sleep — and the oil you use matters. This formula uses two carrier oils chosen for their safety profile on infant skin from four weeks, with an optional addition of Roman Chamomile at a carefully considered concentration from three months. No fragrance, no preservative, no synthetic ingredients of any kind.
HERO INGREDIENT — Fractionated Coconut Oil (MCT) Fractionated Coconut Oil is the ideal base for an infant massage oil for two reasons: it is odourless, which means it won't interfere with the parent-infant bonding that happens partly through scent, and it is extremely stable — unlike virgin coconut oil it doesn't go rancid, which is important in a product used on newborn skin. It absorbs readily and leaves no residue on clothing or bedding.
WHAT ELSE IS IN THIS RECIPE
Jojoba Oil — adds lightweight conditioning and helps the formula glide smoothly during massage without needing to reapply frequently
Roman Chamomile Essential Oil — optional — suitable from 3 months only, at 2 drops per 100 mL maximum; calming and gentle on developing skin
