DIY Baby Balm: A Simple Natural Recipe for Sensitive Baby Skin

Anhydrous recipes — those made without water — are among the simplest and safest choices for baby skincare because they require no preservatives. Shea butter and cocoa butter have both been traditionally used for skin conditioning, and many parents report using them on their babies' skin as an everyday moisturiser. Baraka's traditionally processed shea butter and cocoa butter contain no chemical solvents, synthetic fragrances, or additives — making them a clean starting point for a homemade baby balm. Always patch test on a small area of skin before first use.

This recipe article covers a simple two-ingredient baby balm using Baraka's shea butter and cocoa butter, or shea butter and baobab oil as an alternative, with application instructions, infant patch test guidance, and storage notes. Parents looking for broader context will find Baraka's guide to shea butter for babies and the wider natural skincare for pregnancy and babies article useful alongside this recipe.
