More information about Mom Care
Mom Care Products for Pregnancy and New Motherhood
Pregnancy and the first months with a baby ask a lot of your body. Our mom care products are made for exactly those months: sore nipples, itchy belly skin, napkin rash, hair fall after delivery, and skin that looks as tired as you feel.
These natural mom care products use plant oils, butters and herbs you can read and recognise. The Nursing Nipple Balm with desi ghee is breastfeeding safe and only needs a soft wipe before a feed. The 4 in 1 Soothening Belly Butter is safe from early pregnancy and while nursing. For hair that starts falling a few months after birth, there's our Postpartum Hair Oil, slowly infused with bhringraj, amla and kalonji.
Think of these as mom care essentials you'll reach for every day. Each one solves one clear problem, so you only buy what you need.
When you buy mom care products from ROOT and SOIL, you're choosing a brand over 2,00,000 parents already trust for their babies. Shopping for your little one too? Browse our newborn care for 0 to 6 months or save more with our combo packs.
What Are the Essential Care Products for New Mothers?
Most new moms need help in five places: nipples, the pad area, belly skin, hair and face. Our range offers six products across these needs. Together, these mom care essentials cover the problems women tell us about most.
You don't need all six on day one. Nipple and napkin rash balms matter most in the first weeks, hair care from a few months after birth, and belly butter from pregnancy.
Mom Care Products for Every Need
These mom care products for mothers each target one problem.
Postpartum Hair Fall: Hair Oil, Shampoo, or Both?
Hair fall a few months after delivery is common, and scary to watch. An oil and a gentle shampoo can play different roles in your hair-care routine: one for conditioning and scalp massage, the other for cleansing.
Postpartum Hair Oil
Our Postpartum Hair Oil for moms is cold-pressed, sulphur-free coconut oil slowly infused with bhringraj, amla, kalonji, hibiscus, castor oil, henna, aloe vera and country onions. Follow the product’s directions for application time and frequency.
Herbal Shampoo for Moms
The Herbal Shampoo for Moms is made from a decoction of 21 fresh herbs, including thumbai, moringa, fenugreek and karisilanganni. It gives a mild lather. Adjust washing frequency to your scalp and hair needs.
Sore, Cracked Nipples While Breastfeeding
Cracked nipples can make feeding painful. Our Nursing Nipple Balm blends cold-pressed coconut oil, pure A2 desi ghee, moringa leaves, castor oil and beeswax, with no preservatives. Follow the current pack directions for application and removal before feeding.
Persistent nipple pain or cracking deserves support from a lactation professional or your healthcare provider, rather than relying on a balm alone.
Napkin Rash After Delivery and During Periods
Postpartum bleeding means frequent pad use, which can leave the surrounding skin uncomfortable. The Napkin Rash Coconut Balm is built on three ingredients: cold-pressed coconut oil, beeswax and calendula.
Use it on external skin according to the product’s directions. It can also be part of your care routine during regular periods.
Itchy Belly and Stretch Marks in Pregnancy
Why a belly butter instead of your usual body lotion? A butter offers a richer texture for moisturising dry skin. Our 4 in 1 Soothening Belly Butter combines unrefined shea butter, cocoa butter, wood-pressed almond oil, coconut milk oil and honey, with a light scent of lavender and tea tree.
Apply according to the pack directions for moisturising care during pregnancy and after delivery. Keep expectations around stretch marks realistic; moisturising is not a guarantee of preventing or removing them.
Dull, Tired Skin After Having a Baby
Kumkumadi Thailam is a classical Ayurvedic face oil made with real saffron, manjistha, lal chandan and more than 16 herbs in sesame oil. Follow the product’s directions for your facial-care routine. It's for moms, not newborns.
How to Choose Care Products for New Mothers
What Should New Mothers Look for in Care Products?
Start with the complete ingredient list and application directions. Familiar plant oils, butters and herbs can still cause reactions, so a short ingredient list alone does not establish suitability.
Next, check the product’s pregnancy and breastfeeding guidance. Anything used near your baby's mouth, such as a nipple balm, should be intended for that purpose and used according to its feeding-related instructions.
Finally, pick mom care products for the needs you actually have. A few targeted everyday care products for moms can keep your routine manageable.
Are Natural Products Safe in Pregnancy and After Delivery?
Natural mom care products are not automatically gentler or suitable for everyone. Check each product’s ingredients and pregnancy or nursing guidance, and ask your healthcare provider if you are unsure.
Follow the product’s patch-test instructions before first use. Stop using it if redness or irritation appears. A patch test checks for a local skin reaction; it does not establish pregnancy or breastfeeding safety.
How to Create a Self Care Routine for New Mothers
Tie the products you need to moments already in your day, following each one’s directions:
- After a feed: nipple balm, if needed, with removal before the next feed as directed.
- At a pad change: external skin care with napkin rash balm, if appropriate.
- Morning or bedtime: belly butter for moisturising.
- During your evening skincare routine: Kumkumadi Thailam, if suitable for you.
- On hair-wash days: a pre-wash oiling routine followed by herbal shampoo, according to the product instructions.
Mom wellness and self care can begin with a few small moments. Choose the self care products for new moms that fit your needs and the time you have.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where can I buy natural mom care products online in India?
You can buy them on the ROOT and SOIL website, which delivers across India. The range covers nipple care, napkin rash, belly skin and hair fall, from ₹385 to ₹850. Orders above ₹1299 ship free.
2. What mom care products should I buy for my sister who just had a baby?
Start with two mom care products for new mothers that help from week one: the Nursing Nipple Balm and Napkin Rash Coconut Balm. Add the Postpartum Hair Oil and Herbal Shampoo for the hair fall that comes a few months later.
3. For postpartum hair fall, should I use a hair oil, a shampoo, or both?
Both work best together. Leave the Postpartum Hair Oil on for 30 to 60 minutes or overnight, twice a week. Wash it out with the Herbal Shampoo for Moms, which cleans without stripping.
4. Is a belly butter better than a normal body lotion for stretch marks?
For a growing belly, usually yes. A butter is richer, so it stays on stretched skin longer. Ours calms itching and softens the look of stretch marks, though it won't erase existing ones.
5. How do I choose care products that are safe while breastfeeding?
Look for mom care products for mothers with a clear "breastfeeding safe" or "nursing safe" label and a short ingredient list. For your nipples, use a balm made for it, like our Nursing Nipple Balm.
6. My hair is falling out a lot a few months after delivery. What can I use at home?
Use the Postpartum Hair Oil, with bhringraj, amla and kalonji, twice a week alongside the Herbal Shampoo for Moms. Most moms notice less hair fall within 4 to 6 weeks of regular use.
7. What can I apply on sore, cracked nipples that's safe for my baby?
The Nursing Nipple Balm is preservative-free and breastfeeding safe, made with coconut oil, A2 desi ghee and beeswax. Apply a small pinch after feeds and wipe it off softly before the next one.
8. What helps with rashes from sanitary pads after delivery?
The Napkin Rash Coconut Balm, made with coconut oil, beeswax and calendula, forms a barrier against moisture and calms itching and redness. Apply it before every pad change, during postpartum bleeding and on regular period days.
9. My belly is itchy in pregnancy. What can I put on it for stretch marks?
Try the 4 in 1 Soothening Belly Butter, safe from early pregnancy and while nursing. Massage it over your belly morning and night to calm the itch and keep stretching skin soft.
10. Is there a natural face oil for dull skin after having a baby?
Kumkumadi Thailam is an Ayurvedic face oil made with real saffron and over 16 herbs. Massage 2 to 3 drops into damp skin at night and rinse in the morning. It's for moms, not newborns.
11. What are the essential care products for new mothers?
A nipple balm, a napkin rash balm, a belly butter, a hair oil with a gentle shampoo, and a face oil. These mom care essentials cover the most common problems after birth.
12. What should new mothers look for in care products?
Choose mom care products for new mothers with a short ingredient list, a clear pregnancy or breastfeeding safety label, made for your exact problem. Patch test on your inner elbow or jawline for 24 hours first.
13. How can I build a simple self care routine as a new mom?
Link each step to something you already do: nipple balm after feeds, napkin rash balm at pad changes, belly butter morning and night, and face oil at bedtime. Oil your hair twice a week.
14. What are the best self care products for moms who are breastfeeding?
The Nursing Nipple Balm is breastfeeding safe and the Belly Butter is safe while nursing. The Napkin Rash Coconut Balm is made for postpartum use, and the Postpartum Hair Oil is labelled postpartum safe.
15. Are natural mom care products safe during pregnancy and after delivery?
They're usually gentler, but always check each label and patch test first. Our Belly Butter is safe from early pregnancy, and the Nipple Balm is breastfeeding safe. Natural mom care essentials still deserve a careful first try.
