Top 10 Best Baby Lotions to Buy Online 2020

Your baby breaks out as soon as you put anything scented on her, and she has eczema. Cerave’s lotion has got no fragrance and boasts your moisturizing ceramides. It soothes away redness, smooths out bumps, and heals over cracks. It very light, spreads across the skin easily, and then melts in–no residue. But that’s also why it won’t work for anything too parched. It hydrates moderately.

It’ll work wonders on normal to mildly dry skin during winter. It’s got alcohol in it, though, so heads up if your baby has allergies.

Johnson’s is the biggest name in the world of baby lotions for a reason. This time around, they’ve left out anything that’ll irritate—mineral oils and parabens—and presented us with a gentle lotion. It’s got your plant oil and really hydrates, but is also lightweight and melts right into the skin. So even if you wear clothes on top, it won’t stick and it won’t leave any residue.

The floral scent is lovely, but if your baby’s got sensitive skin, you might see rashes. There’s also a bit of alcohol in here, so don’t use it if your baby’s allergic.

Disclaimer: the smell of lavender might not do much to calm down a screaming 1-year old (will help calm down mommy and daddy, though). And of course, since this lotion’s got fragrance to it, don’t use it if your baby’s allergic or if you’ve got a sensitive nose. But mothers have used it on sensitive skin and reported no rashes and no burning eczema.

It’s got aloe to soothe the skin and moisturizes with coconut oil–none of that mineral stuff. It’ll leave normal skin soft and smooth for hours. It’s very lightweight–great if you need to combat heat rash or are looking to rub it into your baby’s scalp–but if you’re looking for something really rich, then the lotion’s going to feel a bit lacking.

Made of cranberry, coconut oil, and other natural ingredients, this lotion smells so good that you’ll almost want to lick it off your baby. It’s hypoallergenic and free of harsh chemicals and moisturizes the baby’s skin, making it soft and smooth like it should always be.

Although the lotion hydrates instantly, it’s a little watery and doesn’t create a barrier to lock in moisture. On the plus side, that means no grease, no acne, and no red bumps. On the minus side, it means that if your baby’s got extra dry skin, it’ll dry out in a few hours. It’s gentle enough for newborns and works wonders in summer, but if you’re looking for a thick winter coat, try something else.

This lotion is not too thick–you don’t have to rub your skin like a magic lamp to get it to soak in, and it’s perfect for hot summers–but will actually heal chafed hands. The oatmeal works magic, though, nurturing your skin and locking in moisture all day long. Pediatrician- and dermatologist-recommended, it’s great for keeping normal or slightly dry skin soft, has no overpowering fragrance, causes no breakouts.

Pump out a bit every diaper change, and get rid of rash; it’ll also soothe mild eczema. (But for rougher cases, it’s more of a palliative than a cure.)

Diaper rashes can be cured with a good lotion, and this Earth Mama Natural Non-Scents Baby Lotion does the trick. It’s made of certified organic ingredients and is free of mineral oil and artificial fragrance, so even sensitive babies that get rashes and breakouts stay soft and smooth. It’ll patch over peeling skin and cradle cap as well.

Dermatologist tested, this lotion rubs in easily, leaves no residue behind, and isn’t greasy. If you can afford the price tag, it’s worth a try.

Do you like to enjoy the sun with your baby? This lotion’s featured ingredient, aloe vera, cools and nurtures heat rashes, so it’s good to use after a long day in the sun, or if your little one’s been bundled up all day. 98.9% natural ingredients, it’s safe and made by a trusted brand.

Pediatrician tested, it is non-irritating to most babies and leaves their skin smooth and soft. It’s got buttermilk powder, soybean oil, and—though it’s labeled as fragrance-free—smells of honey (from the beeswax, perhaps), so if you’re allergic to any of this stuff, steer clear. Also, the texture is thick and protects babies from dryness, but it also takes some time to sink into the skin and may be too much for sweaty babies.

The Eucerin brand is an oldie but a goodie, and has been endorsed by dermatologists for many years. In fact, if you take your baby with eczema to a dermatologist, they’ll most likely give you a sample of Eucerin baby body lotion. It’s a thick lotion that relieves redness and itchiness and smooths over rough patches; it doesn’t, however, irritate sensitive skin.

Enriched with Pro-vitamin B5 and shea-butter, this fragrance-free lotion hydrates and nourishes. You have to wait a little until the lotion sinks in, but it’s the right level of thickness if you are looking for something that will help protect and moisturize your baby’s skin.

With a Chamomile fragrance that fades quickly, this NATRUE (Europe’s leading natural certifier) certified lotion keeps the baby’s skin soft with natural herbs. What’s interesting about this product is that it’s not only a nourishing lotion, but it’s also a skin-cleaning product that removes grime (but most of us only use it as a lotion).

The lotion’s key ingredient, Calendula–more commonly known as marigold–possesses anti-inflammatory properties, hydrates, and helps soothe skin irritation. Some saw improvements in their baby’s eczema, acne, and dry skin in just a few days. Although it is on the pricier side, it’s safe, skin-friendly and definitely worth a try if your baby is facing any skin trouble.

Our #1 choice has got your back in all ways possible–it’s 99.95% natural, lightweight, has all those enriching, moisturizing ingredients–from organic aloe vera and shea butter to sunflower oil and jojoba oil. You do get this strong herbal fragrance that you may or may not like on your infant, but it’s harmless, with no harsh chemicals, completely hypoallergenic, with 100% Vegan ingredients.

This comes with a big price tag, but you’re contributing to a good cause too–for every sale, the company donates their products to families that are less fortunate and need support. This is some really thick stuff, though, but think of it as an investment: spend time in the morning really massaging it into your baby’s skin, and she or he will stay pillow-soft until sundown.
