FAQs
Why do Indian parents use loi ubtan for babies?
Loi ubtan is a time-honored tradition in many Indian households, passed down through generations. Parents prefer it before bath time because it not only cleanses but also nourishes the baby’s skin. The gentle exfoliation helps remove excess oil, dirt, and even fine body hair, while ingredients like turmeric and vetiver provide antibacterial and cooling benefits. It’s more than just a bath; it's a bonding ritual that supports healthy, glowing skin from an early age.
How do I prepare and use this ubtan on my baby?
To use the ubtan, take two big spoons of Somya Nikhaar Baby Loi Ubtan. Mix it with Baby Forest Gulaab Oose Rose Water Mist and a few drops of baby oil. Knead it into a soft, dough-like paste. After the oil massage, apply it in circular motions on your baby’s skin. Let it sit for a few seconds, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Your baby’s skin will feel clean and soft.
At what age can I start using ubtan on my baby?
You can start using Somya Nikhaar Baby Loi Ubtan from six months of age. This is the time when the baby’s skin becomes slightly more tolerant to mild herbal blends. However, always perform a patch test first, especially if your baby has sensitive or allergy-prone skin. For newborns under six months, consult your pediatrician before introducing any new product.
Can this ubtan be used daily on babies?
It is recommended to use Somya Nikhaar Baby Loi Ubtan only twice a week. While it is made with gentle, natural ingredients, daily use may be unnecessary and could slightly dry out the baby’s skin over time. For regular care, a few times a week is more than enough to keep your baby’s skin clean, soft, and glowing.
Does this ubtan help in removing baby’s body hair?
Yes, one of the traditional benefits of this ubtan is the gentle removal of extra or fine body hair on babies. Ingredients like besan and wheat flour help loosen and lift baby hair from the surface, allowing it to shed gradually. Over time and with regular use, it can reduce the appearance of baby body hair, making the skin smoother and even-textured without any harsh pulling.
What are the benefits of each ingredient in this baby ubtan?
Somya Nikhaar Baby Loi Ubtan is a thoughtful blend of ingredients that work together to care for your baby’s delicate skin. Wheat flour gently cleanses and helps remove fine hair with the goodness of vitamin E. Turmeric brightens and improves skin texture, while besan exfoliates and clears away unwanted hair. Licorice soothes inflammation, and vetiver acts as a natural coolant, calming and protecting sensitive skin.
Is Somya Nikhaar Ubtan safe for babies with sensitive skin?
Yes, it is made with natural, chemical-free ingredients that are generally safe for sensitive baby skin. However, since every baby’s skin is different, it’s best to do a patch test before first use. Apply a small amount on the leg or arm and wait for 24 hours. If there’s no redness or irritation, it’s safe to proceed. Avoid using it on broken or rash-prone skin.
Can I use the ubtan in both summer and winter?
Yes, Somya Nikhaar Baby Loi Ubtan can be used in both summer and winter. In summer, the vetiver and licorice provide a natural cooling effect, while in winter, it works well after an oil massage to gently cleanse and remove dryness. Always use lukewarm water to rinse it off, especially in cold weather, and follow with a nourishing baby moisturizer or oil if needed.
Can the ubtan be used on the baby’s face as well?
Strictly no, because a baby’s facial skin is extremely thin, delicate, and more sensitive than the rest of the body. Even though Somya Nikhaar Baby Loi Ubtan is made with natural, baby-safe ingredients, it is not formulated for use on the face. Using it there could lead to irritation or discomfort, especially around the eyes and mouth. For the safest skincare, it’s best to use this ubtan only on the baby’s body and choose specially formulated products for facial care if needed.
How should I store Somya Nikhaar Baby Loi Ubtan?
Keep the ubtan in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and humidity. Always make sure the container is tightly closed after use to keep the powder fresh and free from moisture. Avoid using wet hands or spoons to scoop it out, as that can spoil the product. Proper storage keeps it safe and ready for your baby’s next bath time.
