In-Depth Review

Moisture Science for Little Ones

Pipette Baby Lotion is a breakthrough in pediatric skincare, focusing on the chemistry of a baby’s skin at birth. When babies are born, their skin is protected by vernix, a moisture-rich coating. Pipette’s flagship ingredient, squalane, is a shelf-stable version of squalene—a moisturizing miracle worker found naturally in human skin. This lotion provides instant hydration without the use of synthetic fragrances or toxic additives.

Commitment to Clean Beauty

Being EWG Verified, this product meets the strictest standards for health and transparency. Pipette bans over 2,000 potentially harmful ingredients, going well beyond standard US regulations. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly, making it ideal for post-bath massages and daily moisture maintenance.

Science Fact: Pipette’s squalane is derived from 100% renewable Brazilian sugarcane, making it more sustainable than shark-derived squalene.
