MAMA & KIDS<br />
UV LIGHT VEIL<br />
With summer fast approaching,<br />
mamas and<br />
toddlers should never skip<br />
the essential sunscreen application<br />
in order to shield<br />
those harsh rays. It is generally<br />
recommended to use<br />
sunblock on babies older<br />
than six months and to stick<br />
to natural ingredients. This<br />
Japan-made Mama & Kids<br />
Light UV Veil is a great place<br />
to start. The milky, lightweight<br />
formula is smooth,<br />
easy to apply and ideal for<br />
daily use in the city. ¥5,184,<br />

BAMFORD HAIR<br />
AND BODY WASH<br />
Made in England, Bamford baby products<br />
are known for their high quality, natural<br />
products. Specifically formulated to be<br />
kind to babies’ delicate skin, this two-inone<br />
hair and body wash (because with<br />
babies, all-in-one is the best way to go!)<br />
is ideal for washing newborns. Its gentle<br />
cleansing formula, packed with chamomile,<br />
lavender, geranium and tea tree, is<br />
softly scented and leaves babies (and tired<br />
mothers) feeling refreshed, soothed and<br />
protected. ¥2,929 (100ml), bamford.co.uk<br />
MAMA BUTTER FACE<br />
AND BODY CREAM<br />
Mama Butter is a Japanese<br />
brand that has recently been<br />
getting lots of attention thanks<br />
to its organic, non-perfumed<br />
products. This face and body<br />
cream is made of shea butter<br />
and is 100% natural, meaning<br />
pregnant women and new<br />
mothers can safely use it. It’s<br />
also safe for baby’s sensitive<br />
skin, which easily gets dry after<br />
the bath. While solid at the<br />
touch, the shea butter instantly<br />
melts when you rub it on<br />
the skin. It is recommended<br />
to use it on the lips, face, body<br />
and even hair to moisturize<br />
those dry ends. ¥1,900 (60g),<br />

MAMA MIO<br />
TUMMY BUTTER<br />
While a baby bump is the cutest<br />
part of pregnancy, it can<br />
also leave the dreaded stretch<br />
marks post-baby. However,<br />
with a daily moisture regimen<br />
and the right products, it’s<br />
possible to leave your belly<br />
completely stretch-mark free.<br />
Packed with omegas 3, 6 and 9<br />
to build strength and elasticity,<br />
this belly butter is blended<br />
with argan oil to nourish,<br />
coconut oil to soothe and heal,<br />
and rosehip oil to regenerate<br />
damaged cells. ¥4,090 (120g),<br />
