Dr Barbara Sturm Breaks the Mould of Baby Skincare
There’s nothing as precious or as certain to kick-start our motherly instincts as a new-born baby. And skin that’s just entered the world for the very first time always needs some extra help and protection. After all, it’s got to get used to the world and all that comes with it! People, animals, clothing, dust, dirt, germs, washing powder, pollution, the weather and a million other things.
Delicate new-born skin is characterised by sensitivity, fragility, and vulnerability. Unlike adult skin, it has an immature skin barrier, meaning that it doesn’t retain moisture, so the cells don’t function optimally. Whilst it can feel incredibly soft to begin with, babies’ skin tends to redden easily in response to daily stressors, often dries out and chafes, is vulnerable to attack and susceptible to skin irritation and eczema.
Skincare for Babies
It’s best to use products that have been specifically formulated with babies in mind. That way the ingredients won’t irritate their super sensitive skin and will be completely safe for them. Products that have perfume, antibacterial agents, chemicals, or active ingredients are too much for young skin so use products with natural ingredients instead.
Natural Baby Products
The world renown and rather ingenious German aesthetics doctor, Barbara Sturm has created a comprehensive range of nurturing products specifically formulated for young, sensitive skin. So, what made her switch from anti-ageing products for grown-ups to a range of skincare for kids?
It’s because she strongly believes that healthy, functioning skin starts from birth. Rest assured that you’ll only find non-irritating, fragrance free, extra nourishing ingredients with protective properties that maintain the natural softness of children’s skin in her children’s range.

Dr Barbara Sturm Baby and Kids Range
We love her Baby and Kids Bathing Milk, a wonderfully gentle and soothing bath soak for that all-important rite of passage, the new-born bath. Bathing a little one is such a beautiful thing to experience and the last thing you want to do is cause them to have dry, irritated skin.
Brimming with naturally calming ingredients like Almond Flower, Chamomile and Calendula, simply add this formulation to a warm bath to ease and prevent skin irritation. Celebrated skin nourishers, Jojoba and Sweet Almond Oil are also in there to supply long-lasting hydration and ensure that your baby’s skin feels perfectly soft and moisturised. A similar formulation has also been used for the Baby and Kids Body Cream, a nourishing lotion that helps preserve the skin’s natural softness with all the goodness of Marigold Extract, Chamomile Extract, Jojoba and Sweet Almond Oil.
The Baby and Kids Bum Cream doesn’t need fanfare or even an introduction really. It’s one of those products that says exactly what it does on the tin! The great thing here is that you no longer need to continuously use chemical nappy rash creams repeatedly on your child’s bottom, which for most of us parents doesn’t sit well.
In fact, this ointment has been specifically formulated to soothe the most delicate skin that’s often prone to excessive soreness and irritation. Zinc provides a moisture barrier whilst Marigold Extract boosts the skin’s natural protective barrier function which in turn calms redness and irritation. Use this cream after each nappy change and see how nourished the skin becomes, so much so that it’ll become more resistant to dampness and rashes too.
