Baby Massage Oil
Baby massage is a wonderful way to enjoy calm, nurturing time together. Using a suitable baby massage oil allows your hands to glide gently over your baby's skin while helping to leave it feeling soft and moisturised.
Our Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil is made with 100% pure, cold-pressed organic coconut oil. Its silky, lightweight texture makes it easy to use as part of your baby's massage routine, as well as for everyday moisturising.
Frequently Asked Questions
Coconut oil can be used as a massage oil when the product is specifically suitable for babies. Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil melts in warm hands and provides a smooth surface for gentle massage while helping to moisturise the skin.
Is baby massage oil suitable for newborns?
If you're using an oil with a newborn, always check that the specific product is suitable for your baby's age and follow its instructions. Massage itself does not require oil.
What is the best oil for baby massage?
There isn't one massage oil that's right for every baby. Choose a product specifically formulated or suitable for babies, and consider a simple, fragrance-free formula if your baby's skin is particularly delicate.
Can baby massage help with sleep?
Baby massage can be a calming part of a bedtime routine. The massage itself, rather than the oil, is the focus of the routine. NHS guidance notes that massage can help babies relax and sleep.
How much baby massage oil should I use?
Start with a small amount and add more if needed. The aim is to help your hands glide comfortably over your baby's skin without leaving it excessively oily.
