Vicks BabyRub is a gentle, moisturising balm made for babies from 3 months of age and children up to 5 years. Used together with a calming massage, it's designed to help soothe, relax, and comfort little ones during fussy evenings or as part of a settled bedtime routine. If you're looking for a soft, skin-friendly baby balm to build into your wind-down ritual, this 45 g jar is formulated with a light touch in mind.
The formula combines aloe vera extract and coconut oil to help moisturise delicate skin, with the familiar fragrances of lavender, rosemary, and eucalyptus. It's dermatologist confirmed for baby use and made as a gentle formula, so it can become a comforting part of massage time on the chest, neck, back, or soles of the feet.
