Baby Lotion (Fragrance-Free)
Pipette stands out for its use of high-purity, sugarcane-derived squalane, which mimics the vernix—the natural protective coating babies are born with. Their commitment to excluding over 2,000 potentially harmful ingredients while maintaining EWG Verification makes it the safest choice for newborns.
Quality & Materials
Primary moisturizing agent is 100% plant-derived squalane. Includes glycerin and pomegranate sterols to increase moisture retention without synthetic silicones.
Evidence & Testing
Dermatologist and pediatrician tested. Squalane's efficacy in skin barrier repair is well-documented in dermatological literature.
Brand Transparency
Full ingredient disclosure with purpose listed for each. EWG Verified status ensures third-party audit of all raw materials.
Value Assessment
Extremely competitive pricing for a premium, clean-label product, often cheaper than 'luxury' organic brands while offering better science.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike Johnson's or Aveeno, Pipette uses a bio-identical emollient (squalane) rather than petrolatum or mineral oil, providing superior skin barrier support without the risk of contaminants or heavy greasiness.
