Childs Farm Unveils New & Improved Range for Children’s Delicate Skin & Hair

Clinically proven to be kind and mild to sensitive skin, Childs Farm’s beloved children’s bath and skincare range has been given a gentle yet effective formula upgrade—along with exciting new fruity scents. Since children’s skin is thinner, more delicate, and prone to moisture loss, it’s essential to use products designed specifically to nurture and protect their developing skin barrier. Their hair, being finer and more fragile, also needs extra care.

With this in mind, Childs Farm has created a fuss-free range that makes bathtime both fun and gentle. Whether it’s fluffy bedtime bubbles, a quick-rinse hair and body wash, or a fast-absorbing moisturiser, each product is scientifically formulated to care for young skin and hair. Plus, they’re all clinically proven to be kind and mild to sensitive skin.

Made with up to 98% natural origin ingredients*, including naturally derived cleansers and skin-conditioning Vitamin E, the range is suitable for newborns and beyond. Families can now enjoy a refreshed selection of long-lasting fragrances, including sweet orange, raspberry cherry, and peach & apricot—making every bathtime a treat for little ones.

It’s finally spring, and Big Hedgehog and Little Hedgehog are ready to explore the world after having slept all winter.
