Founder Q/A - Are BEB Organic Products Just for Babies?

Interview by Jan Davidson, head of BEB Organic customer service. She hears all the questions and interviews Kim to get you answers!

Q: Do you recommend BEB Organic skincare for toddlers and older children too, or just babies?

Absolutely, yes. BEB Organic skincare is safe and effective for anyone with sensitive skin - whether they’re a newborn, toddler, child, teen, or adult. While we originally created the line with premature babies in mind, the same qualities that make our products ideal for preemies - purity, gentleness, efficacy - also make them a great choice for every stage of life.

In fact, it’s quite common for families to start using BEB with their baby and then slowly, naturally, the products become part of everyone’s routine.

Q: Why are BEB Organic products so well-suited for sensitive skin beyond infancy?

Because we developed every formula to meet the needs of the most vulnerable skin on the planet: that of premature babies. Preemie skin is thinner, more permeable, and slower to develop a protective barrier than full-term baby skin, let alone adult skin. That means everything we apply has to be safe, non-irritating, and truly supportive of the skin’s development—not just in theory, but in practice.

That’s why we worked hand-in-hand with pediatric dermatologists, NICU nurses, and medical researchers to create our formulas. Every ingredient had to be traceable, biocompatible, and clinically sound. We chose ingredients not just because they’re clean or organic (though they are), but because they work in harmony with the skin’s biology.

So when you think about it, if it’s safe enough for a preemie, it’s more than safe enough for a toddler—or anyone else in your household who wants skincare that feels as good as it is gentle.

Q: What are some examples of how families use BEB beyond the newborn stage?

We hear the most amazing stories from our community—ways our products are used that even we didn’t anticipate.

One of our most trusted midwives travels the world attending celebrity births. She won’t board a plane without our Soothing Serum. For her, it’s the perfect way to hydrate and calm her skin after long flights and sleep-deprived nights. I’ve heard from makeup artists who swear by Silky Cream as the best primer they’ve ever used. And more than one dermatologist has told me they keep Nurturing Oil on their vanity for everything from post-procedure care to scalp massages for their kids.

Parents use Bubbly Wash for bath time long past the baby stage, and often for themselves too—it’s that gentle, and that effective. Our Diaper Balm, while designed to protect baby bottoms, has become a go-to healing salve for chapped hands, rough elbows, and even rashy skin flare-ups in older kids and adults alike.

We designed these products to be multi-functional. Not in the marketing sense—but in the real, everyday sense of supporting skin that needs extra care.

Q: What makes your formulations different from other “gentle” or “natural” skincare brands?

This is such an important question, especially now that the terms natural and clean are everywhere—and often meaningless. The truth is, a lot of brands say they’re gentle or organic, but they don’t meet the highest clinical or safety standards.

At BEB Organic, our products are third-party allergy and safety tested. They’re reviewed by medical professionals. Our ingredients are vetted not only for purity and efficacy, but also for how they’re grown and harvested. We partner with farms that use regenerative agriculture, and we go above and beyond with certifications and environmental partnerships—because what touches your baby’s skin should be as safe and ethical as it is effective.

And from a formulation standpoint, we don’t use fillers. There are no parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, or harsh preservatives. Our formulas are packed with active, skin-supportive ingredients that help build barrier strength, retain moisture, balance the microbiome, and calm irritation. In short, we formulate to support skin at its most vulnerable—so it can thrive at any age.

Q: Are there certain BEB products you recommend for older children or specific skin needs?

Definitely. Here are a few quick examples:

• For toddlers with dry skin or eczema-prone areas: Use Soothing Serum daily to calm and hydrate, followed by Silky Cream to lock in moisture. If needed, finish with a thin layer of Nurturing Oil to seal and protect.

• For preschoolers with bumps or bug bites: Dab Soothing Serum directly on irritated spots to reduce redness and so the skin can calm the inflammation.

• For kids with sensory sensitivities: Our lightweight textures and subtle, natural scents (no essential oils or synthetic fragrance) are often better tolerated than typical children’s skincare.

• For family bathtime: Bubbly Wash is gentle enough for everyone—yes, even for parents with reactive or dry skin.

• For teens and adults dealing with breakouts or post-treatment care: Soothing Serum helps restore balance and reduce inflammation. It’s a beautiful counterbalance to any drying or harsh treatments.

Q: Should I switch to something else as my child gets older, or is BEB enough?

In many cases, BEB is not only enough—it’s ideal. Especially if your child has sensitive, allergy-prone, or reactive skin. Of course, as kids grow and their skin changes, so might their skincare needs. But what we’ve heard from families is that BEB often becomes a long-term staple because it helps prevent the skin challenges that can show up in childhood.

And here’s something I think is really beautiful: using the same products together creates a shared self-care language in a family. When your kids see you using the same cream or oil that you use on them, it builds trust. It’s a quiet way of saying, this is good, this is safe, this is love.

Q: What would you say to someone who assumes BEB is “just for babies”?

I’d say that’s where it starts—but not where it ends.

BEB Organic began with a mission to protect and nourish the skin of premature babies. But what we created turned out to be so much more: it’s a system of care that supports healthy skin development at every age, every stage, and every level of sensitivity.

Whether you’re holding a preemie in the NICU, chasing a toddler at the park, or soothing your own skin at the end of a long day—our products are here to support you.

Because healthy skin isn’t just a baby thing. It’s a human thing.
