There's nothing more sensitive than newborn skin. It's thin, absorbent, and still developing its barrier—which means what you put on your baby matters just as much as what you feed them.
At Tau Tau Skin, we created Baby Whip because we couldn't find a single balm that met our standards as parents. Everything "natural" still had fragrance, drying alcohols, or essential oils. Others contained honey—something that may be great for adults, but not for babies.
So we built something different. Something simpler.
Here's what every mom should know about baby skincare—and why Baby Whip is quickly becoming a diaper-bag must-have for new parents.
👶 1. Your Baby's Skin Barrier Is Still Developing
Babies are born with underdeveloped skin barriers, which is why they're more prone to:
-
Diaper rashes
-
Dry, flaky cheeks
-
Cradle cap
-
Eczema flare-ups
They don't produce the same level of sebum or lipids adults do, so they need extra support—not extra chemicals. Baby Whip is made from grass-fed tallow, jojoba, olive oil, and beeswax. No water. No preservatives. Just simple, skin-identical fats that sit comfortably on delicate skin.
❌ 2. We Leave Out Honey—On Purpose
Honey is wonderful for adult skin, but pediatric guidance is clear that it shouldn't be used on babies under 12 months. We leave it out of Baby Whip entirely.
Many other "clean" baby products still include honey in their formulations. We never will.
Baby Whip is 100% honey-free, simple enough to use from day one—whether you're applying it to diaper rashes, flaking skin, or tender folds.
🚫 3. No Fragrance, No Alcohol, No Essential Oils
You'd be surprised how many baby lotions include:
-
"Natural" fragrance blends (that still contain allergens)
-
Drying alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol
-
Essential oils that are far too potent for delicate baby skin
Tau Tau's Baby Whip contains none of the above. It's completely fragrance-free and alcohol-free—which is why it's so gentle, even on sensitive, rash-prone skin.
🧴 4. Gentle Enough for Newborns, Made for Diaper-Rash Days
Our customers consistently reach for Baby Whip for:
-
Red, irritated diaper rashes
-
Dry cheeks and baby acne
-
Post-bath skin that's itchy or flaky
-
Cradle cap (when massaged into the scalp)
It feels soothing on the skin—without synthetics, preservatives, or petroleum.
🍼 5. Simple Ingredients—Nothing Extra
Every ingredient in Baby Whip has a purpose:
-
Grass-fed tallow: Skin-identical fats loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K
-
Jojoba oil: Lightweight and non-clogging
-
Olive oil: Softens, with naturally occurring antioxidants
-
Beeswax: Forms a breathable moisture barrier
That's it. No fluff. No fillers. No 15-ingredient label to decipher. Just clean, whole ingredients—simple enough for the newest skin on earth.
