GAIA Natural Baby Moisturiser
Verified35 reviews
Fairly good product BUT – I've enjoyed this product for myself. I can't tell how 'natural" it is because the print is too small for me. I also can't tell if they use palm oil, a cheap oil used in most products like this. I do my best to NOT use palm oil based products because other countries are ripping down natural rainforests & have created a monoculture which means… Read more
Orangotans are orphaned , killed or starved. And the WASTE!! Ive used a funnel to try to use up the stuff the pump can't get to but that didn't work. Ive tried adding a bit of hot water, particularly in my Queensland winter but no. I end up having to toss out about 20%. I call that disgraceful.
Love this mild moisturiser for my baby and me – Lightweight and a little goes a long way. Gentle ingredients and I even use it for myself after a shower as well as bubs. Great in winter when her skin is a bit more dry. Love that it’s aussie made too. Show details · 1
No Good! Secret Exfloiator – I thought my baby cried because he didn't like bed time. Turns out it's this moisturiser which contains lactic acid which is an exfoliant. What baby needs that? It has made my baby's skin flakey over time and I feel awful for not realising it was from this product sooner (was using this to try and reduce it the whole time thinking he had eczema!)

Not sure if it was just me, but my first impression was far from good – I signed up for a subscription plan with GAIA Singapore, which allows for free shipping. But when I made my first order to try it out, I was told they had unilaterally ceased that subscription with no prior email / communication to me on this at all. I don't appreciate the lack of transparency on their end, hence I asked them to refund my points… Read more
and was surprised by another act of non-transparency. Apparently, my points were not expired yesterday due to other "technical glitch" and they magically expire now.

Great product – Amazing product that leaves skin feeling sensational. Subtle fragrance that leaves baby smelling fresh and clean. Works great in dry skin. Pump pack makes it easy to dispense whilst massaging baby. Show details
Best baby toiletry range ever – We discovered Gaia when our son was a baby and was getting terrible rash from other products. I love that they are all natural, paraben/SLS free and gentle on skin. We have used this range for the last 3 years and will use it on our twins due in 2 weeks time. Natural, smells like a beauty salon - amazing, cost effective.
Had to buy another to use on myself! – I had a few recommendations for this cream from friends, and finally decided to pick some up for my daughter. We hadn't used many creams on her previously as she was quite sensitive, however this cream is wonderful on her skin. I use it under her chin because she has pretty awful dribble rash, and also on her back and tummy which have some dry… Read more
patches. The other thing I use it for is to clean her hands after meals - a small squirt, rub her hands together then wipe with a washer. It stops her hands drying out.
The smell is subtle but really nice, and I have also been using it on my own (sensitive) skin, which is now soft and smooth as a baby's ..., well... you know! I haven't found many scented creams which haven't made me itch or given me a rash, so I'm impressed.
It's $9ish for a small bottle, which compared to some of the hypo-allergenic stuff you can buy in larger bottles (QV for example) is a tad expensive, but it is a beautiful cream and worth it for something that smells pretty. The scent is beautiful, very gentle. A little bit expensive, only comes in small bottles.
Negative reviews
Stung my baby – I bought the lavender scent for my baby to think it'll help with bedtime. After a bath, I used this product and my baby cried hysterically within seconds of applying this cream. Will never use it again. They really need to consider what is causing the stinging on babies.
Unfortunately not for my baby – I was given this product from my best friend in a baby hamper she made up. From her own experience, she said it was the best product for her daughter when she was a baby. Unfortunately this was not the case for me. After using it 3 times, my daughter started to get flakey/dry/irritated skin which I figured couldn’t be from these products (also… Read more
using body wash and shampoo) but then after reading the ingredients, I couldn’t believe that it has lactic acid in it considering that it is an exfoliator ingredient! What newborn baby requires lactic acid on their skin? I immediately stopped using it (along with other Gaia products) and it has taken a while to go back to normal. Now using another product WITHOUT lactic acid which has helped improve it. For a baby that had extremely good newborn skin, this product assisted in making it the complete opposite very quickly.
Left a horrible rash. Awful – We used this product for the first time on our 5 week olds face, as it says it's safe to on the bottle, after his bath last night. He has woken up with a rash all over his face, one of his eye lids is so swollen he can hardly open it. Will definitely be warning my friends not to use this product. So upsetting

Terrible...Caused 5 month old baby to scream uncontrollably within seconds of putting it on – As I had run out of the usual products I use on the baby, I decided to use one of the Gaia baby moisturizer samples I got as part of my bounty bag. Tried it on baby for first time after a bath of water alone. 2 seconds after I applied it on her skin, she started to cry uncontrollably. Immediately rewashed the baby to remove this harsh cream and… Read more
she was better. Will not be trying the other Gaia samples on the baby. In future will stick to qv baby bath oil and aveeno dermexa. I hope I have not damaged my baby's skin. Should have known better than to apply something with such a strong smell. Lesson learned, natural does not mean not harsh.
Terrible on sensitive skin – I used this on my baby's face and she screamed. I tried it on my face and it stung! Not recommended. Especially if your baby is prone to eczema, this product will most likely make it worse. The fragrance is too strong. I will not be taking another risk on my baby and use any other Gaia product.
Odd smelling product – I received this as a gift when my son was born. I don't really like it and probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It has an odd, fake perfumed scent and feels very greasy and sticky on your hands once you have rubbed it into the baby's skin. I don't like smell that is left behind. Will never buy this. Odd smell, greasy and sticky

Too heavily perfumed for a baby lotion – I purchased a bottle of this moisturiser for my 6 month old after a alternative-remedies friend of mine recommended it to me. Along with this I also purchased a bottle of the baby shampoo and a bottle of the talc-free powder. Admittedly, because of my friend's recommendation, I didn't even open the bottles to smell the product when I bought them.… Read more
I was utterly disappointed then, when I opened them, to find that they were heavily perfumed - at least to me. I actually can't understand why you would perfume a baby product - wouldn't you prefer to smell the natural scent of your baby? Of the three products I bought of Gaia, the only one which didn't have a heavy perfume was the talc-free powder. For the price (almost 10 dollars a product), I did not think they were worth it. I was extremely impressed, however, that the products are not tested on animals nor contain animal products. Cruelty free Too heavily perfumed, ordinary price
Fantastic moisturiser – I always disliked moisturising creams for bubs as they're generally so greasy. This one is not and it smells so good! I love giving my daughter a lovely massage with this cream after her bath. It's gentle on her dry skin and helps keep it lovely and soft. We live in a cold climate which can be quite harsh on skin but this cream helps a lot. I… Read more
also love that it's all natural. Easily absorbed by the skin, great smell, doesn't irritate sensitive dry skin
Brilliant baby product!! – We use this moisturiser for our baby girl after each bath and it is such a fantastic product!! She already has beautiful skin and I think this product really helps maintain it for her because it is so gentle and hyrdating, but not too thick and it asborbs very easily. It has a subtle, natural fragrance and contains organic ingredients. It is so… Read more
gentle and effective and you only need to use it sparingly, as this product really goes far. :) Gaia is a superior brand and we have not used anything else because the results are just amazing. Environmentally friendly, good quality product and not too expensive.
Our baby has gorgeous skin! – We received our first bottle of this as a baby gift - our baby daughter now 10 weeks old has beautiful skin, everyone has commented about it. The moisteriser is well priced, good consistency - not oily like some & leaves her skin feeling really hydrated. She had dry legs at about week 3 & applying this to her body cleared it up well. (we also use… Read more
the baby body & bath) Good consistency & leaves baby's skin hydrated but not oily Unable to get it from our Woolworths in rural town - have to get it posted to us.
The best baby moisturiser on the market!!! – I love the smell and feel of this product. Whenever we use it my daughter always smells great. It is a little intoxicating, always wanting to smell her. Great smell Can oxidise - need to check product before purchase.
Excellent – I have been buying this for my kids for ages and started using it on myself as well as its cheaper than most of the natural moisturisers for adults. I absolutely love the smell of Gaia's products, the lavender in it is soothing for kids and great to put on them just before bedtime. My kids love it and ask for it every night after their shower. … Read more
This is something I always have on hand. This is an all natural moisturiser that absorbs quickly and really moisturises well without feeling greasy. The price is really good for a natural moisturiser as well.
Excellent – I really enjoy using this product on my son and on myself. I use it all over - even on faces :-) and found that it was particularly gentle on easily irritated - or already irritated skin. We have a bottle at work for hands - and being a curly head it often ends up taming frizzies! Wouldn't be without this product, I have a tiny bottle I refill so… Read more
I can keep it in my handbag and car! great for sensitive skin, smells lovely, moiturises well without being greasy, perfect for all over, good on baby's bottom while in cloth nappies. It does seem expensive bu believe me a little goes a long way!
Good – Gaia has a nice range of products that you know are designed for babies with sensitive skin. I like the products for skincare and the moisturiser does the job it says. I wish that you could purchase this product in a larger tub as it will not last that long and ends up being a bit more expensive than other similar products. I like that it is an… Read more
organic product and it does smell nice and is very easy to apply. A nice organic product that smells nice and is easy to apply. The price can work out a bit more expensive since you can't buy it in a bigger tub.
Excellent – This is a beautiful moisturiser and smells divine. This is my favourite Gaia product by far and it leaves my bub's skin soft and smelling wonderful. Would highly recommend. Natural ingredients, works well, smells beautiful. Nothing - the price is marginally more expensive than other brands but not prohibitively so.

Good – my overall opinion of Gaia natural Moisturiser is not only is it natural which i love but it actually makes a huge difference to my little girls skin using the tiniest bit of moisturiser. i used this product when my child was a new born and it was great, it made her skin so silky soft and also a great relaxing smell, you also dont have to apply… Read more
much of the moistureiser to her skin as it spreads alot which is good as it lasts longer. i didnt find anything with this product that i did not like at all.
Excellent – This is a great smooth moisturiser to treat any dry, irritated skin. It applies easy and you can get the travelling size to use anywhere, anytime. I love that it has a lavendar smell, love lavendar. All gaia products are great and do what they are suppose to. This is great to treat dry, red or just irritated skin. Love the smell of the Gaia products.
Excellent – Fantastic product. Leaves skin so smooth, and beautiful smelling. No harsh chemicals like most moisturisers. My baby loves it,, and I rub the excess into my own hands Everything, it is a fantastic moisturiser. My baby had a skin reaction when born and had blotchy red spots all over, the poor thing and using the Gaia moisturiser his skin cleared up… Read more
straight away. He had a small case of cradle cap too and 2 days of using this it cleared up also. I use this cream regualry after a bath. I did try using Johnsons with lavender but he cried whilst it went on but he is happy when this goes on, just continues to babble to his mobile. Nothing at all, it is a fantastic moisturiser
Good – A good moisturiser - seems to work well on our little one with no negative affects, moisurises well - doesn't aggrevate eczema. Rubs on well, not to thick of sticky, has a pleasant smell. Although it is a little pricey it does go a long way. It also does have a lot less synthetic ingredients than many other baby products on the market. I like the… Read more
naturalness of the Gaia range (although they do use harsh synthetic preservatives). The Gaia range of products look good, and this cream looks, smells and feels good. the packaging it is really difficult to get the cream out of the bottle - this is really frustrating. I often tip it into my own softer pump bottle - makes for easier use and distribution. A little expensive.
Excellent – I have just started using this product and as some of the other reviews have stated, a little goes a long way! My bub had some dry patches on his forehead and after using this product on it for 2 days it cleared up, nor reaction or issues with it. Smells fantastic, and lavender is a known calmer so a nice natural way to wind bub down ready for a… Read more
nap. The Gaia products are fantastic, would highly recommned them to anyone. Lovely smelling, organic product. Really lovely and gentle on babies skin.
Excellent – I absolutly LOVE Gaia products. They are certified organic and are also Australian made. My daughter has terrible ezcema and im able to use this moisturiser without any problems at all. I love the smell of the moisturiser, its not over bearing. It is a litlle bit expensive to buy but a little bit goes a long way and it is well worth it if you have… Read more
a child with very sensitive skin. Wonderful product. It smells absolutly WONDERFUL!! It works well to keep my bubs skin nice and soft and 'fresh' feeling. It is able to be used on sensitive skin without any problems. Organic. Its a little bit expensive.
Excellent – Would love everyone to try it, it is a little bit expensive than normal johnson's ones but it is worth it. I suggest that you scout some direct chemist outlets since they sometimes have it cheaper in a few dollars. I love how it works on my baby's skin, it works wonders on my face and skin too. It is just a little too hard to squeeze it out of the… Read more
bottle but all in all, I love the product. love the smell, very effective too. works well with my baby's skin. very rich and wonderful. too hard to squeeze out of the bottle(not that I am complaining of the richness of the product) I hope they will make the bottle easier to use since it is hard to use it when bub's active
Good – I just love this moisturiser! It smells great and it smoothes onto our baby's skin so easily. Another reviewer said a little goes a long way, and I completely agree. You only need a little bit. I love to use it as an after-bath massage cream because it's so smooth and it feels a bit nicer than oil. I switched to this after our baby's skin… Read more
reacted to another organic moisturiser. Lovely smell, super smooth on baby's skin, doesn't irritate or dry out skin, pretty easy to find, organic ingredients, Australian product. The price (but I'm a cheapskate). Also a little fiddly to use when you have one hand on the baby.
Excellent – A fantastic product and if you put a lot on you can massage baby with it as well. I am a fan if the Gaia baby range and have bought this product for friends as well. Its a lovely smelling moisturiser and easy to find. It lasts a long time and baby loves it. The cap can sometimes be sharp to open with one hand if you are holding baby on the table with the other.
Excellent – I swtiched to this Moisturiser after finding that the products I was using were drying my baby's skins out. My baby's dry patches completely cleared up after only two applications of this moisturiser. Organic ingredients slightly more expensive than mainstream brands
Good – I love this as a body lotion for bubs but found it a little too strong for facial use. It's a light moisturiser so not suitable for very dry skin but it's a great light lotion for the body after a bath...leaves baby (or mum!) smelling and feeling delicious and not at all greasy. I would buy it again but use something with less fragrance on… Read more
babies face. smell
moisturising effect
natural ingredients a bit too strong for babies face in my opinion
OK – It's quite gentle and non-drying for my sensitive skin, light smell. Even though it's a natural product, lavender can be a skin irritant (some people are allergic to it). I'm also concerned with the report that lavender is a possible "gender bender" (influencing the hormone levels in the body when absorbed through the skin, thus a male might… Read more
develop female characteristics: breasts, etc.) I would happily use it on myself and other adults but I don't think it's good to use it on babies. Moisturising. Contains lavender. More expensive than other natural baby products that have similar ingredients.
Excellent – I really liked this product and will now try the other products in the range. My friends have all raved about gaia and now I rave about it too. I also Like that it is natural and organic. It was light and didn't leave a greasy feeling, my baby looked like a corn flake when she was born and after using this it made her skin nice and soft within a… Read more
few days. It was also easy to buy, from either from my chemist or coles supermarket. And I loved the gentle lavender smell too. Would have liked it to have a pump.
