Four Ingredients
This is the oil people buy when their baby's skin reacts to everything else. Four ingredients. Organic sunflower, jojoba, apricot kernel oil, Bulgarian lavender. That's it. No mineral oil, no petroleum, nothing you have to look up.
What Makes Our Lavender Baby Oil Special?
- Four ingredients only: Organic sunflower, jojoba, and apricot kernel oil with Bulgarian lavender essential oil. Nothing you have to look up. Safe for newborns, kids, and adults with reactive skin.
- Bulgarian lavender essential oil: Real lavender — floral, herbal, and present — not the synthetic version found in dryer sheets or candles. Smells like actual dried lavender buds.
- Developed with Cliff House Maine: Created in collaboration with the spa therapists at Cliff House Maine for their babymoon packages. Comes with a professional baby massage guide from their therapists — the kind that makes first-time parents feel less uncertain about touch.
- Multi-use: For babies: warm a few drops to body temperature and massage into mostly-dry skin after bath using the included guide. For adults: apply to damp skin after showering — works on face, body, dry elbows, cuticles. Mix with lotion if straight oil feels too heavy.
- 90% organic, vegan: No mineral oil, no petroleum, no synthetic fragrance. Glass bottle with dropper.
- Small batch, Owings Mills: Mixed by hand in our Maryland facility, checked before it ships.
One bottle works for everyone in the house — baby massage, adult face oil, dry skin spots.
How to Use: For babies: warm a few drops between your palms until oil reaches body temperature, then massage into skin following the included guide. For adults: apply to damp skin after showering or rub into dry spots as needed. Use within six months of opening and store away from heat and direct sunlight. External use only. Discontinue if irritation occurs.

Lavender Baby Oil FAQs
Can adults use the baby oil too?
Yes, and many do. One bottle works for everyone in the house. For adults, apply to damp skin after showering, or rub a few drops into dry elbows, cuticles, and rough patches as needed. It works as a face oil for sensitive or reactive skin. If straight oil feels too heavy, mix a few drops into your regular lotion in your palm before applying. The four-ingredient formula was designed to be gentle enough for newborns, which means it's gentle enough for the rest of you too.
How was this baby oil developed, and what's the Cliff House Maine connection?
We collaborated with the spa therapists at Cliff House Maine on the formula for their babymoon packages, the resort's gift to expectant parents. They wanted something safe enough for the first weeks at home and effective enough for adult skin too. Every bottle ships with the professional baby massage guide their therapists wrote, walking first-time parents through the technique. The collaboration is the reason the ingredient list stayed at four. Anything more felt like a risk for newborn skin.
What's actually in the baby oil?
Four ingredients. Organic sunflower seed oil, organic jojoba seed oil, apricot kernel oil, and organic Bulgarian lavender essential oil. That's it. No mineral oil, no petroleum, no synthetic fragrance, no dyes. The blend is 90% organic and 100% vegan. The Bulgarian lavender is real essential oil, which smells like dried lavender buds rather than the synthetic version in dryer sheets. If you can't pronounce something on a baby product, it shouldn't be in there.
Is the baby oil safe for newborns and reactive skin?
The formula was built for newborns first, which is why it's also become a favorite among adults with reactive skin, eczema-prone skin, or anyone whose skin reacts to fragrance. Four ingredients, no synthetic anything, glass bottle. As with any new product, do a small patch test on your baby's leg or your own forearm before broader use, and discontinue if irritation occurs. External use only.
How are skincare oils different from lotions and body butters?
Oils sink in fast and skip the wax-and-water emulsion, so they absorb more cleanly on damp skin and don't leave a film. A lotion is mostly water held together with stabilizers; an oil is just the oil. You use less, you reapply less often, and you can mix it into your existing lotion if you want extra slip. Damp skin is the trick. Apply right out of the shower and the warmth helps the oil sink in before you've finished getting dressed.
How should I store these oils and how long do they last?
Keep your oils away from heat and direct sunlight. A bathroom shelf out of the shower spray works, or a bedside drawer. Use within six months of opening for best scent and performance. The glass bottles are part of the formula's protection: light and heat are what break oils down over time, so darker glass and cooler shelves extend the life of every drop. Travel sizes are no exception. Toss the 1oz dropper in a gym bag, but don't leave it in a hot car.
Are these oils vegan and free from synthetic fragrance?
Yes to both. Every oil in this collection is 100% plant-based, with scent that comes from real essential oils: bergamot, yarrow, rosemary, lavender, rose. No synthetic fragrance, no parabens, no dyes, no petroleum. If you've been burned by clean beauty that doesn't perform or by "natural" labels that mean nothing, the ingredient lists on these bottles are short enough to read in one breath. Nothing on them you have to look up.
Where are these oils made and how?
By hand in our Owings Mills, Maryland lab. Small batches, usually under fifty bottles at a time. Every batch gets smelled and checked for consistency before it ships, and the same person who blends it is the person signing off. We're a woman-owned small-batch operation, not a contract manufacturer dressed up as artisan. The bees, the farm, the lab, and the founder are all part of one operation, which is why traceability matters here in a way it can't at scale.
