Gentle Beginnings

A Simple Botanical Ritual for Newborn Skin. 

£32.00 | Save £4.00 compared with buying separately. A practical newborn skincare gift for baby showers, new arrivals and those first weeks at home.

The earliest days with a baby do not need a cupboard full of products. Gentle Beginnings brings together four simple essentials for bathing, cleansing and caring for delicate newborn skin.

A baby’s skin barrier is still developing during the early weeks and months of life. It is thinner, more delicate and still learning how to hold moisture and respond to the world around it.

This collection was created to support that natural development through gentle, uncomplicated care, without essential oils, synthetic fragrance, harsh surfactants or an overwhelming routine.

Best for

  • Delicate newborn skin
  • Simple, minimalist baby care
  • Gentle bath and bedtime rituals
  • Parents wanting fewer, thoughtfully chosen products
  • Baby showers and practical newborn gifting

What’s included

Together, these four essentials create a gentle rhythm of bathe, cleanse and nourish. Nothing complicated. Just practical care that can be returned to each day.

  • Baby Bodhi Butter - A fragrance-free, essential-oil-free balm for all-over moisture, dry little areas and protective care after bathing..

  • Settle & Soothe Bath Tea - A simple blend of oats and lemon balm for soft, botanical bath water and slower evening rituals.

  • Pure Konjac Sponge - An ultra-gentle, non-foaming way to cleanse delicate skin using only water

  • Cotton Muslin Bag - Holds the bath botanicals while they infuse, making the ritual easy to use and easy to tidy away.

Explore each product for its full ingredients, directions and safety information.

Presented in a recyclable kraft gift box, finished simply with natural twine and a gift tag. Thoughtful enough to give, practical enough to be genuinely useful.

Ritual use

The Gentle Beginnings ritual

Place the Settle & Soothe Bath Tea inside the muslin bag and add it to comfortably warm bath water. Allow the botanicals to infuse while you gently squeeze the bag through the water.

Once softened, use the damp konjac sponge with bath water alone. Move it lightly over the skin without scrubbing or adding a foaming cleanser.

After bathing, pat the skin gently rather than rubbing. Warm a small amount of Baby Bodhi Butter between clean hands and smooth it over slightly damp skin using slow, gentle strokes.

Use a small amount where needed. More product does not necessarily mean more care. Babies are quite good at making simple things complicated without our help.
