Why Our Products Are Perfect for Babies & Children
Hey Kiya Collective,
When it comes to our little ones, we all want the same thing, gentle, nourishing care that we can trust.
That’s why every Kiya formula is made with intention. Simple, natural, and safe, for even the tiniest members of the family. Whether it’s baby’s first bath, soothing dry skin after nursery, or nurturing coils on wash day, our products are here to help make those everyday rituals feel like love.
Let’s walk through why our core essentials work beautifully for babies and children, from top to toe.
🧼 AFRICAN BLACK SOAP BAR
Clean, gentle, effective — without stripping
Babies don’t need harsh soaps. Our African Black Soap Bar is handmade using traditional methods and natural ingredients like plantain ash and cocoa pods. It gently cleanses while maintaining the skin’s delicate pH, which is essential for healthy, happy skin.
✔ Great for sensitive skin
✔ Helps with baby acne, eczema, and heat rash
✔ No artificial fragrance, dyes, or sulphates
How to use: Lather in your hands or on a soft cloth and gently cleanse your child’s body. Avoid direct contact with eyes.
🧴 WHIPPED SHEA BUTTER
Soothing, sealing, and made for dry spots
Babies and toddlers often struggle with dry patches, especially during weather changes or after bath-time. Our Whipped Shea Butter is rich in vitamins A, E, and F and melts effortlessly into the skin to lock in moisture, without clogging pores.
✔ Safe for newborn skin
✔ Ideal for eczema-prone skin and dry cheeks
✔ Nourishes knees, elbows, and little toes
How to use: Warm a small amount between your palms and massage into slightly damp skin after a bath.
🌿 SWEET NOURISHING OIL
Gentle multi-use oil for skin + bonding time
Our signature Sweet Nourishing Oil is lightweight, non-greasy, and naturally scented with a hint of vanilla and citrus. Perfect for baby massage, cradle cap, or everyday hydration, it leaves skin soft and subtly glowing.
✔ Suitable for newborns and toddlers
✔ Doubles as a bath oil or scalp softener
✔ Rich in coconut, apricot, and avocado oils
How to use: Apply after bath or use during a bonding baby massage. It’s also lovely for mum’s skin too!
💧 HYDRATING HAIR MIST
Tangles, curls, and softness made easy
Tear-free mornings start with hydration. Our Hydrating Hair Mist is made with rose water, aloe vera, and glycerin to soften and refresh your child’s hair without buildup. It helps detangle curls, soothe dry scalps, and keep natural hair healthy and manageable.
✔ Gentle enough for kids 1+
✔ Adds hydration between wash days
✔ Smells fresh and uplifting, no artificial perfumes
How to use: Spritz on dry or damp hair before styling or brushing.
🌿 HAIR STRENGTHENING OIL
Nourishment for little scalps + edges
Whether you’re doing a quick twist-up or gentle cornrows, our Hair Strengthening Oil supports scalp health, encourages growth, and keeps hair soft and protected. It’s infused with natural oils like castor, rosemary, and olive, safe and effective for children’s haircare.
✔ Use sparingly — a little goes a long way
✔ Supports strong, moisturised hair
✔ No synthetic ingredients or irritants
How to use: Massage a few drops into scalp or ends 2–3 times a week.
💭 Final Thoughts
When we say “handmade with love,” we mean it — and that love extends to your littles. Every Kiya formula is made with the same care we’d want for our own children: gentle, natural, and grounded in heritage.
Because your baby’s first skincare memories should be as nourishing as your touch.
