Buying a baby or kids moisturizer in Kenya? Start with what your child's skin needs: simple daily moisture, fragrance-free care, or extra support for dry, eczema-prone patches. Hawi offers two distinct kids' balms, and choosing between them should not mean guessing.
Choose Hawi Kids Unscented Balm for fragrance-free daily baby and child care. Consider Hawi Kids Eczema Balm for targeted moisture for eczema-prone skin. Both come in 200ml aluminium tins and are handcrafted in Kenya.
Which Hawi kids' balm should you choose?
For everyday baby care: Kids Unscented Balm
Shop Hawi Kids Unscented Balm 200ml if you want fragrance-free moisture for everyday use. The product is intended for babies, including newborns, and children with dry skin or no particular skin concern. It can be used on the face, body, hair and scalp, following its directions.
Its ingredients are shea butter, coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, beeswax and arrowroot powder. It contains no added fragrance or essential oils. Check the full ingredient list for your child's known sensitivities; fragrance-free does not mean that a reaction is impossible.
For eczema-prone skin: Kids Eczema Balm
Shop Hawi Kids Eczema Balm 200ml if your child needs richer, targeted care for dry, eczema-prone skin. This is Hawi's specialist kids' option for that concern, rather than the general daily-care Unscented Balm.
The product is intended for children of all ages and can be used on the face, body, hair and scalp. It is steroid-free and contains pine leaf essential oil, so it is not fragrance-free. Its formula includes shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, grape seed oil, avocado oil, amla macerated oil and black seed oil.
A moisturizing balm can support skin comfort but does not cure eczema or replace prescribed treatment. For a child with diagnosed eczema or very reactive skin, discuss new products with their clinician, particularly formulas containing essential oils.
What should Kenyan parents check before buying?
Read the ingredients and intended use, not just the words “natural” or “gentle.” Natural ingredients and essential oils can still cause irritation. Consider whether you need a fragrance-free formula, any known ingredient allergies, and whether you are buying for routine moisture or a specific skin concern.

How to use Kids Unscented Balm
For the face, warm a pea-sized amount between your palms and gently apply to clean skin. For the body, massage a generous amount over the skin after bath time, paying attention to dry areas. For routine nappy-area care, apply a thin protective layer to clean, dry skin at each diaper change.
If using it to soften cradle-cap flakes, follow the product's step-by-step directions. Do not pick or scratch the scalp. Stop use and seek medical advice if redness, irritation or swelling appears or worsens.
How to use Kids Eczema Balm
Following the product directions, gently massage a generous amount onto clean face and body skin, focusing on dry or eczema-prone areas. Apply at least twice daily, morning and evening, and after bathing when needed. Avoid getting balm in the eyes and follow your child's clinician's instructions for any prescribed treatments.
A simple daily moisturizing routine
- Use comfortably warm water rather than very hot baths.
- Pat the skin gently with a towel rather than rubbing.
- Apply the chosen balm according to its directions after bathing.
- Reapply to dry areas as needed and moisturize hands after washing.
- Watch how your child's skin responds. Stop a new product if it causes irritation.
Frequently asked questions
Which Hawi moisturizer is intended for newborns?
Hawi Kids Unscented Balm is the fragrance-free daily-care option intended for babies, including newborns. Check ingredients and directions first. Ask a clinician before introducing a new product if your baby has a skin condition or a history of reactions.
Which balm should I consider for my child's eczema-prone skin?
Kids Eczema Balm is Hawi's targeted option for eczema-prone skin. It contains pine essential oil, so it differs from the fragrance-free Unscented Balm. Choose alongside appropriate medical guidance rather than treating a balm as a replacement for eczema care.
Does my child need to switch to a scented moisturizer as they grow?
No. Growing older does not mean a child needs fragrance. Fragrance-free care can remain part of the routine if it suits their skin and your preferences.
When should I get medical advice?
Seek professional advice for persistent or worsening rashes, painful or cracked skin, signs of infection, or symptoms that affect your child's sleep. Do not rely on moisturizer alone for an unexplained rash.
