5 Things Every Mom Should Know About Baby Skincare (And Why We Created Baby Whip)

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 safe for babies.

So we built something different. Something safer.

Here’s what every mom should know about baby skincare—and why Baby Whip is quickly becoming a must-have in diaper bags and hospital kits everywhere.


👶 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 nourishing, skin-identical fats that help their barrier develop, not degrade.


❌ 2. We Leave Out Honey—On Purpose

Honey has incredible benefits for adult skin—but should never be used on babies under 12 months old. That’s because honey can contain Clostridium botulinum spores, which may cause a rare but serious illness called infant botulism when ingested or absorbed through broken skin.

Many other “clean” baby products still include honey in their formulations. We never will.

Baby Whip is 100% honey-free, making it safe 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. That means it won’t sting, irritate, or trigger flare-ups—even on sensitive, broken, or rash-prone skin.


🧴 4. It’s Safe Enough for Newborns—and Strong Enough for Diaper Rash

Our customers consistently tell us Baby Whip outperforms other creams on:

  • Red, inflamed diaper rashes

  • Dry cheeks and baby acne

  • Post-bath skin that’s itchy or flaky

  • Cradle cap (when massaged into the scalp)

It soothes instantly and supports healing naturally—without synthetics, preservatives, or petroleum.


🍼 5. Simple, Effective 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: Balances and nourishes without clogging

  • Olive oil: Softens and protects with antioxidant support

  • Beeswax: Forms a breathable moisture barrier

That’s it. No fluff. No fillers. No 15-ingredient label to decipher. Just clean, whole ingredients safe enough for the newest skin on earth.
