Why Silky Cream

For every day
After every bath and whenever skin feels dry, including eczema-prone skin between flares.
Clothes go straight on
It melts in at the warmth of your hands and leaves no film.
Skin that looks well cared for
Rosehip, avocado, flaxseed and green tea seed support the feel of soft, healthy-looking skin.
Made to layer
Hydrate first. Seal second. Repeat whenever skin feels dry.

What we believe about dry skin

More often beats stronger.

When skin gets dry, the instinct is to buy something heavier. Most of the time the answer is how often: a little cream after every bath, again when the air turns dry, then a little oil to seal it in.

So we made Silky Cream light enough to reach for again and again.

How does Silky Cream
feel and smell?

Silky Cream

Buttery soft.

Adult hand cups a baby's bare feet on a white fleece.
Texture
Buttery soft and cushiony. It melts in at the warmth of your hands and glides over even the roughest patches.
Newborn's hand rests on a white knit blanket with the face partly visible beside it.
Finish
Absorbs fast to a clean, non-greasy finish, and skin stays soft.
Red rose hips on a thorny branch with green leaves in sunlight.
Scent
No added fragrance. The lightest hint of orange peel from the organic extract, fading as the cream absorbs.

The formula

The Phytocura® approach

Phytocura® is how every BEB formula is made. Each ingredient has to do more than one job, nothing goes in without a reason, and each one is prepared in the form that suits fragile skin. Then the formula is judged as a whole.

In Silky Cream, the butters and oils are balanced so no single one takes over, and the cream cushions skin and still melts in fast. See every ingredient

What is in it

  • Dark speckled bowl of pale butter chunks on a white marble surface.

    Shea butter (organic)

    From the shea nut. It is the cushion in the cream, softening at skin temperature so it glides with no grease.

  • Green olives hang from a leafy olive branch.

    Squalane (plant-derived)

    From olives. The slip that spreads the cream, and a stable form of a lipid skin makes for itself.

  • Red rose hip on a bare dark branch against a muted brown ground.

    Rosehip seed oil (organic)

    The hip is the fruit a wild rose leaves when its petals fall, ripening across South Africa. Its seed oil gives a softer feel and an even-looking finish.

  • Half an avocado with the pit on a flat pink background.

    Avocado, flaxseed and green tea seed (organic)

    Avocado is at home in Michoacán, flax fills the fields of Saskatchewan, green tea grows in India. Together, the oils behind buttery soft.

  • Round cucumber slices tiled across the frame.

    Cucumber (organic)

    Cucumbers flourish in the North Carolina summer. The extract gives a cool, refreshing feel as the cream goes on.

  • Spiky aloe vera leaves radiating from the center with water droplets.

    Aloe and glycerin (organic)

    Draws water in and keeps skin feeling soft.

What it leaves out

What we leave out follows from what we put in.

  • Added fragrance

    Fragrance-free by standard. The subtle aroma comes from the plant ingredients.

    Why some formulators use it

    To make a product smell appealing, or to cover the smell of its base.

    Our call
    • Fragrance is among the most common causes of contact allergy in children, according to patch-test studies.
    • Babies know their parents by scent, and we would rather not add another one.
  • Essential oils

    Orange peel is used as an extract, a different preparation from citrus essential oil.

    Why some formulators use it

    They add scent, and they read as natural on a label.

    Our call
    • Many essential oils naturally contain fragrance compounds that the EU requires brands to name on the label above set levels.
    • For newborn skin, we leave them out.
  • Mineral oil and petrolatum

    Built on shea butter, squalane and plant oils.

    Why some formulators use it

    They cost little and coat the skin.

    Our call
    • We favor ingredients that do more than one job, so we build on plant-derived oils and humectants.
    • We can tell you what each ingredient in this formula is there to do.
  • Sodium benzoate

    Preservation comes from phenethyl alcohol, caprylyl glycol and ethylhexylglycerin.

    Why some formulators use it

    It is an inexpensive preservative, permitted in cosmetics in the US and the EU.

    Our call
    • In Europe, medicines that contain benzoates have a label line saying they may increase jaundice in newborns up to 4 weeks old.
    • Cosmetics and medicines follow different rules, and we made this call with newborns in mind.
  • Parabens and phenoxyethanol

    Why some formulators use it

    They are familiar, easy preservatives, permitted within set limits.

    Our call
    • The EU banned five parabens in 2014 and does not allow two more in leave-on products for the diaper area of children under 3.
    • France requires most leave-on products containing phenoxyethanol to say they are not for the diaper area of children 3 and under.
    • Where regulators draw a line around the youngest children, we stay on the far side of it.
  • Synthetic dyes

    Why some formulators use it

    Color makes a product look appealing on a shelf.

    Our call
    • Color does nothing for skin, and we want each ingredient to have a job.

Questions parents ask

How do I use Silky Cream?

Apply 2 to 3 pumps of Silky Cream across face and body, with upward strokes on the face and strokes toward the heart on the body. Use it after each bath and whenever skin feels dry, then layer Nurturing Oil to seal.

Is Silky Cream gentle enough for everyday use on my baby's face and body?

Yes. Silky Cream is made for daily use on face and body, and it is formulated for fragile skin.

Can Silky Cream help with dry patches?

Silky Cream helps skin feel moisturized, with shea butter and squalane giving a cushiony feel on dry, rough or flaky-looking patches. For very dry skin, layer Nurturing Oil on top to seal. If dryness persists or skin cracks, see your pediatrician.

Is Silky Cream a good everyday moisturizer for eczema-prone skin?

Silky Cream is the daily moisturizer we recommend for dry and eczema-prone skin between flares, as part of the whole four-step routine. For a flare, or skin that looks sore, broken or infected, see your pediatrician.

Can I use Silky Cream in the diaper area?

Silky Cream is for face and body, outside the diaper area.

Does Silky Cream have a scent?

Silky Cream is fragrance-free, with no added or masking fragrance. Any subtle aroma comes from its plant ingredients.

How quickly does Silky Cream absorb?

Silky Cream melts in at the warmth of your hands and absorbs fast, with a cushiony feel and a clean, non-greasy finish that leaves no sticky residue.

How is Silky Cream different from BEB Soothing Serum and Nurturing Oil, and do I need all three?

Each product is a different step. Soothing Serum is the light, everyday Soothe step that helps skin hold on to moisture, Silky Cream is the Hydrate step that moisturizes, and Nurturing Oil is the Seal step that seals in moisture and gives glide for massage. Use them in that order. Oil and water do not mix, so no one lotion does both jobs. The cream brings the water. The oil keeps it there.

Can I use Silky Cream on a newborn or preemie?

Silky Cream is made for ages 0 and up and formulated for fragile skin. It is used in hospital NICUs: 300+ hospitals and birthing centers, 11 years. If your baby is in the NICU or recently home, follow your care team's plan for what goes on their skin.

What is in Silky Cream?

Silky Cream is built on organic aloe and glycerin with organic shea butter, plant squalane and a blend of organic rosehip, flaxseed and avocado oils, plus organic cucumber and green tea seed extracts. The full ingredient list, with what each one does, is on this page.

What is the pH of Silky Cream?

Silky Cream is formulated to a target pH of about 5.5, which is skin-neutral.

How long does a 4 oz Silky Cream last?

A 4 oz Silky Cream gives many uses at 2 to 3 pumps each. Families who use it after every bath and whenever skin feels dry will go through it fastest.

Does Silky Cream contain parabens or sulfates?

Silky Cream is made without parabens or sulfates. The formula also leaves out added fragrance, essential oils, mineral oil, petrolatum and synthetic dyes.

What did people say about Silky Cream in testing?

In an independent consumer study of 72 pregnant participants over 8 weeks, 98% agreed Silky Cream helps replenish and hydrate skin, and 99% would recommend BEB products to a friend.

Can I use Silky Cream during pregnancy, or on the rest of the family?

Yes. Silky Cream is a light, non-greasy moisturizer for anyone in the family, and pregnant participants used it in an independent 8-week consumer study. A toddler can learn to rub in their Silky Cream. It is one of the first self-care skills a child can own.

Which sets include Silky Cream?

Silky Cream is in the Dry Skin Comfort Set with Bubbly Wash, the Baby Bump Sensory Bundle with BEB Soothing Serum and Nurturing Oil, the Complete Vital Touch Bundle with the whole routine, and the Discovery Set as a mini.

Works wonders!

The s Silky Cream has worked wonders here in the north! Really love the high quality ingredients like orange peel extract, elderberry, rose hip and more. It makes for the most wonderful and light smell and I feel great putting such an amazing product on that is made here in the US. We all know how itchy our belly gets towards the end of pregnancy and this was my go-to! - Verified GOOD FACE PROJECT reviewer
