The protective layer of waxy vernix covering babies as they are born is incredibly beneficial not only in the womb but also after birth. Preserve this magical substance instead of immediately wiping away the evidence of birth.

➜ When rubbed into the skin, vernix acts as a skin cleanser, moisturizer, and powerful antioxidant.

➜ Vernix can also help establish a healthy microbiome by picking up beneficial bacteria in the mother’s birthing canal and helping to protect from an overgrowth of harmful bacteria.

➜ Rubbing the vernix in on your baby’s skin can also help regulate his temperature after birth!
