As a parent, you want only one thing: healthy, soft skin for your little one. But did you know that a baby's skin can be up to five times thinner than an adult's? Scientific research (Stamatas et al., 2011) shows that the skin barrier is still developing fully until the age of four. As a result, children's skin loses moisture more quickly and external irritants can penetrate more easily.
At Olunaya, we believe that nature has the best answers. Our formulas consist of almost entirely natural ingredients, so you can give your little one the purest protection without unnecessary chemicals. We use powerful plant extracts with scientifically proven efficacy, such as Oat (Avena Sativa) for restoring the skin barrier and Calendula for soothing irritations.
Step 1: identify your little one's skin type
Every child is unique. Do you recognize your little one in one of these categories?
Normal Skin (The 'Healthy' Skin)
Characteristics: even in color, feels soft and resilient, no visible irritations.
Need: daily hydration to keep the barrier strong.
Your match: Protect & Care Cream.
Dry Skin (The 'Rough' Skin)
Characteristics: feels rough, shows fine flakes on the legs or arms, especially after bathing or in cold weather.
Need: intensive nourishment and lipids (fats).
Your match: Soothing Baby Balm.
Sensitive Skin (The 'Irritated' Skin)
Characteristics: quickly turns red with heat, cold, or friction. Reacts strongly to external stimuli.
Need: calming and barrier repair.
Your match: Protect & Care Cream (daily) & Soothing Baby Balm (for red spots).
Step 2: the Olunaya quick guide — what to apply when?
In the rush of the day, you don't want to have to doubt. Follow this rule of thumb:
- After the bath? ➜ The Protect & Care Cream. Instantly hydrates with almond oil and oat extract. Absorbs quickly, so your little one can be comfortably dressed right away.
- Red spots? ➜ The Soothing Baby Balm. Are the bottoms red or the cheeks flushed? Chamomile and calendula instantly soothe the irritation.
- Rough spots? ➜ The Soothing Baby Balm. For those dry knees or chapped elbows. The water-free formula with Shea Butter provides intensive nourishment where the skin needs it most.
- Daily care? ➜ The Protect & Care Cream. Your go-to for every day. Strengthens the skin barrier with Centella Asiatica without clogging pores.
The Golden Tip: use the power of both products. First apply the Protect & Care Cream for much-needed hydration, and then seal it with a thin layer of Soothing Baby Balm — a natural shield that retains moisture and active ingredients.
The 'layering' method
Does your child have very dry or irritated skin? First apply the Protect & Care Cream for much-needed hydration. Then 'seal' this with a thin layer of Soothing Baby Balm. The balm acts as a natural shield that retains the moisture and active ingredients of the cream.
