Description
Weleda Calendula Cream Bath Baby is a creamy bath additive made for delicate baby skin, built around calendula, sweet almond oil and sesame seed oil. It comes in a 200ml bottle.
A cream bath, not a bubble bath
This is a cream bath rather than a foaming bubble bath, which means it's designed to gently cleanse and nourish rather than produce a big, bubbly lather. Weleda's own description is simple: a carefully selected formulation of beneficial ingredients that gently cleanses and nourishes delicate skin.
What's in the bottle
The formula centres on:
- Sweet almond oil, for gentle nourishment
- Sesame seed oil, which helps support the skin's moisture
- Calendula officinalis flower extract, included for its traditional use in soothing skincare
It contains a fragrance drawn from natural essential oils rather than synthetic perfume, which is worth knowing if fragrance in bath products is something you pay attention to for your baby.
Part of a bath-time routine
Adding a small amount to bath water is a simple way to make daily bath time feel a little more considered, and calendula has a long history of use in baby skincare for exactly this reason. That said, it's a cosmetic bath product rather than a treatment, so it's there to support a normal bathing routine rather than to address a specific skin condition. Some families like to keep bath time consistent as part of a wind-down before bed, and a familiar, gentle product can be a small part of that.
How to use it
Add a small amount to running bath water, or apply directly and rinse. As with any bath product, keep it out of your baby's eyes, and rinse thoroughly afterwards.
Building a calendula routine
If calendula suits your baby's skin, Weleda carries it through several other products, including the Weleda Calendula Baby Oil Fragrance Free for after-bath moisturising, and the Weleda Soap Bar Calendula for hands and body.

If your baby has particularly reactive skin or an existing skin condition, check with your GP or maternal health nurse before introducing a new bath product.
