Private Label Baby Lotion: buyer FAQ
Product-specific starting points for the first brief. Final answers depend on the selected formula, pack and destination market.
Is baby lotion different from adult body lotion?
Yes. Preservatives, fragrance and ingredient choices are reviewed for children’s skin, and EU rules require a safety assessment that specifically considers children under three.
Can the lotion be fragrance-free?
Yes, and most baby brands choose fragrance-free. We work on a clean base odor so the product still smells pleasant without added scent.
Can I claim it helps eczema?
Not as a cosmetic. Eczema treatment claims turn the product into a drug in the US and need a medical route elsewhere. We help you phrase moisturizing claims instead.
Which pack is best for baby lotion?
A pump bottle is easiest for parents using one hand. Tubes suit travel sizes. Both are compatible with a medium-light lotion.
Can I launch lotion and wash together?
Yes, a matched duo is a common first launch. Each item is quoted and assessed separately and can share scent-free positioning and design.
What does a baby lotion project need from me?
Your target market, ingredient restrictions, preferred size, any certification goals and estimated quantity. We then propose a formula direction and test plan.
Continue within the same manufacturing cluster.
