My little one wasn’t even sleeping through the night when he started getting the acne I thought wouldn’t appear until puberty. I wondered if it was my diet that was putting irritants into my milk, or if he was catching something that would spread and hurt him.
But when I did my research, I found that despite my doctor telling me not to worry about it, there was a lot I could do to stop the baby acne from spreading, and to prevent infection.
Whew, baby acne solved at last!
We set to work right away to create Soothing Serum to care for and heal this common but troubling problem.
When we put the formula to the test, the results were stellar! In third-party consumer studies: 98% of users agreed that Soothing Serum balances and clears the skin. These study results were obtained following self-assessment of 73 participants using the product at home. Result times varied. Many saw instant results, many more after a few days. After the study was completed, 98% of users confirmed they loved the product and would recommend Soothing Serum to friends and family.
Newborn baby skin is naturally acne-prone.
This acne-prone stage is a little-known, but normal, phase of skin development that affects over 20% of babies in the first 6 weeks of life. It occurs as your baby’s skin adjusts from the aquatic environment in mom’s belly to the air environment after delivery and to the rush of hormones your baby received from you shortly before birth.
Your baby could have red or white pimples from birth or they could appear after the first few weeks, usually just on the cheeks but sometimes they reach up to their forehead and down to the chin. Though they can irritate and turn a model child into a mottled child, they will disappear with time. The best thing you can do is stop the acne from getting worse to prevent infection and scarring.
Baby acne is caused by one or a combination of 6 primary triggers on the skin surface:
1) hormonal imbalance
2) pH imbalance
3) vitamin/mineral imbalance
4) protective vs pathogenic bacterial imbalance
5) dehydration (also known as trans-epidermal water loss)
6) excess of a certain yeast called Malassezia
Though it was previously considered either untreatable or not worth treating by doctors, recent scientific advancements and a deeper understanding of skin have resulted in a protocol update by pediatric dermatologists.
Because 80% of people with a skin barrier disruption, like acne or dermatitis, are at risk of a bacterial infection, health professionals primary goal is to gently prevent unnecessary swelling and infection at acne lesion sites.
Skin changes like acne occur in 90% of pregnant women largely due to hormonal, vitamin and mineral imbalances. Pregnancy acne can be difficult to treat for many women because it is best to avoid harsh chemicals during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Soothing Serum is the perfect solution for both moms and babies.

A Bit About Probiotics
If you haven’t heard the news about probiotics and how much we have, need or want them in our guts…they’re the latest and greatest in healthy digestion, and beyond.
But what’s got some scientists (including us!) excited is the direct link between the microbiome of our guts with our brain, immune system, and skin.
For the past few years, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has promoted probiotics as treatment for acne and rosacea. To help control these skin conditions, AAD suggests managing stress, eating a healthy diet, and increasing healthy gut bacteria (your microbiome).
Your gut microbiome communicates with your skin via the gut-skin axis, which directly influences your appearance…and your baby’s. Science discovered the gut-skin connection helps regulate:
- oxidative stress that causes inflammation
- inflammation regulation that causes most disease
- tissue lipid levels that maintain healthy metabolism
- glycemic control that balances blood sugar
- neuropeptide levels that affect mood, pain tolerance, and the body’s homeostasis (balance)
- pathogenic bacteria control that prevents sickness
- mood-regulating neurotransmitters (like serotonin) that make you feel happy
Probiotics assist the gut-skin axis by
- acting as antimicrobials that attack bad bacteria by drilling a hole and killing them before they can cause inflammation
- calming irritated skin cells before they can react and cause bumps, redness or swelling
Acne and rosacea are caused by a body’s immune system reacting to microbes on the skin. But AAD found that a dose of probiotics applied to the skin prevents the body from creating that reaction.
All of this matter a lot to your little one whose skin is especially vulnerable to any bacteria – good or bad.
We want only good bacteria on baby skin, so to help preemies thrive BEB Organic skincare contains probiotics and nutrients that soothe skin, relieve stress, and increase gut health, from the outside in.
Keeping your preemie’s skin in a peaceful, non-reactive state means they have more energy to grow. Small wonder we love probiotics at BEB Organic!
The more comfort your preemie, or any baby feels, the better they grow.
