Gentle Face & Baby Cream Base: A Ready-to-Use Blank Canvas for Soft Skincare

The Gentle Face & Baby Cream Base from Azlok is a ready-to-use, fragrance-free moisturising cream that you can apply straight from the jar or customise with your own oils and actives. It is a white, non-greasy cream formulated for the delicate skin of the face and babies, and it works just as well for adults with sensitive skin.

Because it arrives fully emulsified and stable, you skip the trickiest part of cream-making. That makes it useful for two kinds of readers: home users who simply want a mild daily moisturiser, and small makers or hobbyists who want a reliable base to build their own products on.

What it is and what's inside

This is a water-based cream (AQUA is the first ingredient) with coconut oil, glycerine and skin-conditioning emollients like isopropyl myristate and cetearyl alcohol. It also carries allantoin and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), which are commonly used for their soothing and softening qualities, plus a gentle preservative system of sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate to keep it fresh.

• Form: smooth white cream
• Free from: added fragrance, alcohol and soy
• Vegan friendly
• Shelf life: 24 months
• Origin: India

Everyday uses

You can use the base on its own as a daily moisturiser. Its light, non-greasy texture suits the face, hands and body, and the absence of added fragrance makes it a sensible choice for reactive or delicate skin.

• Face cream for dry patches and after-cleansing hydration
• Baby lotion for arms, legs and body after a bath
• Hand and body lotion during dry seasons
• A neutral base for making your own branded creams and lotions

How to customise it

For DIY makers, this base saves time because the emulsion is already stable. You can gently fold in small additions to make your own signature product.

1. Take a clean, sanitised bowl and measure out the base.
2. Add a small percentage of a carrier oil (like almond or jojoba) if you want a richer feel.
3. Stir in skin-safe actives or a body-safe fragrance/essential oil at recommended usage levels.
4. Mix slowly and thoroughly, then transfer to sterilised jars or pump bottles.

Keep additions modest. Adding too much oil or water can break the emulsion or thin the cream, and heavy fragrance loads are best avoided in anything meant for babies or the face.

Safety and patch-testing

Although this base is mild, sensible precautions still apply, especially for babies and facial use.

• Patch-test first: apply a small amount to the inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use, particularly on babies.
• Keep it fragrance-free for babies unless you are confident about a safe, gentle addition.
• For external use only. Avoid the eyes and do not ingest.
• Use clean hands or a spatula to scoop, which helps the preservative system do its job.
• If any irritation appears, stop use.

Buying and storage tips

Azlok offers the Gentle Face & Baby Cream Base in sizes from a 500 gm jar up to bulk 25 KG packs, so you can pick a small trial size or scale up for production. Pricing starts at ₹449.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep the lid tightly closed to reduce contamination and moisture loss.
• Use within the 24-month shelf life, and sooner once you open a large pack.
• If you decant into smaller containers, sanitise them properly first.

Who it suits

Choose the small pack if you want a simple, no-fuss moisturiser for your family or to test formulation ideas. The larger bulk packs make more sense for soap, candle and cosmetic makers who want a consistent, ready emulsion to brand as their own body and hand lotions.
