Preventing Chapped Lips During Winter: Benefits of Using Baby Lip Balm Daily
Product Recommendation
A baby’s skin carries a special kind of magic, soft, tender, and untouched by the world. Parents often look on with awe at this pure joy, wanting to do everything to preserve it. In Indian homes, constant care for a baby's skin has never been a mere routine; it has been a very precious ritual, combining love, traditions, and gentle healing remedies that have withstood time.
And among these wonderful time-tested traditions is the use of ubtan powder. Ubtan, prepared from homemade ingredients like besan, haldi, and dahi was more than a simple cleanser of the skin; it was a sincere expression of care from one generation to the other. Grandmothers passed it down, while mothers applied it with love, and the babies received not just skincare but the touch of tradition itself or the warmth of ancient tradition. To this day, this ritual of using ubtan powder represents the collaboration between nature’s simplicity and a parent’s desire to nurture.
Why Baby Skin Needs Gentle, Natural Care
A baby’s skin is thinner and considerably more sensitive than that of an adult. This makes it more prone to dryness, rashes, redness, irritation, and even conditions like eczema. Frequent exposure to harsh weather, rough fabrics, or unsuitable products can also lead to discomfort and imbalance in the baby’s delicate skin barrier. Especially with bathing and weather changes to aggravate itching, parents try to look for natural and safer alternatives that cleanse and nurture their baby's skin. Ubtan powder is an ideal choice for babies because it respects the gentle nature of their skin.

The Tradition of Ubtan in Baby Care
For generations, ubtan has been a treasured part of baby care, lovingly passed down from grandmothers to mothers as a symbol of heritage and devotion. Families would prepare it fresh at home with simple yet powerful ingredients like wheat flour, turmeric, gram flour, and curd. This gentle paste was applied before bath time, not only to cleanse but also to protect, soothe, and strengthen the baby’s delicate skin. The ritual was more than skincare; it was a moment of bonding, love, and care woven into daily life.
In today’s busy lifestyle, many modern parents may find it challenging to prepare ubtan fresh every day. For them, Baby Forest’s Loi Ubtan brings the same age-old tradition in a safe, ready-to-use form. With natural ingredients inspired by Ayurveda, it carries forward the wisdom of the past while fitting seamlessly into the routines of present-day parenting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
At what age can I start using ubtan for my baby?
Generally, for babies, one can start using ubtan from six months onwards. Before this step, a baby's skin is still adapting to the outside world and is very delicate. From this age, ubtan can be gently applied to the baby’s body, not the face, to provide cleansing, nourishment, and the traditional care cherished for centuries.
Can ubtan help remove extra body hair in babies?
It is common for babies to have some extra body hair, which is traditionally considered normal. Baby Ubtan has been used as a hair removal method that helps to gently and gradually remove fine body hair that grows on the skin. The natural ingredients, when glided gently over the body, help to loosen the fine strands over time. This is a natural and gradual process; very importantly, it must be carried out with a gentle hand, keeping the baby comfortable at all times.
Does baby ubtan make the skin fairer?
There is often a belief that baby ubtan can influence skin fairness, but in fact, ubtan does not affect a baby's natural skin tone. The application merely cleanses, softens, and purifies the baby's skin to give it a natural glow. When applied regularly, parents observe that baby ubtan powder helps to maintain the healthy, radiant glow of the baby's skin while also maintaining its natural beauty.
What makes ubtan a better choice than soaps or chemical cleansers?
Unlike soaps or chemical-based cleansers, ubtan powder is made of natural herbs and grains that gently exfoliate the delicate skin. While cleaning the skin, it does not dry it and gives soothing effects through ingredients like turmeric, wheat flour, and licorice. Parents prefer ubtan because it not only cleans but also nourishes and protects the delicate skin of the little ones, keeping it soft and comfortable after every bath.
Can I prepare ubtan at home, or should I buy ready-made baby ubtan?
Both options are possible. Many parents prepare their DIY baby ubtan at home with ingredients such as gram flour, turmeric, curd, and wheat flour. On the other hand, ready-made formulations like Baby Forest’s Somya Nikhaar Baby Loi Ubtan save time and assure that pure Ayurvedic ingredients in accurate proportions have been used. Being natural and organic, it gives the assurance of safety to the parents, allowing them to continue the tradition hassle-free.
How often should ubtan be used for babies?
Baby ubtan powder can be applied two to three times a week before giving the baby a warm bath. This is sufficient for gentle cleansing, soothing the skin, and keeping it soft and glowing. It is not needed on a daily basis since baby skin needs to retain natural oil for some time between applications. The key is consistency with gentle application, making ubtan a regular part of the baby’s care routine.
