Asked by mums, answered honestly

Yes — every Mamave formula is designed to be pregnancy-safe. Products are developed by a cosmetic chemist who understands pregnancy skin, and avoid retinoids, parabens and synthetic fragrance. If you have specific medical concerns, we always recommend checking with your healthcare professional.

The Bubba range is formulated for babies and young children — pH-balanced for baby skin, with gentle coconut-based cleansers and calming botanicals like calendula, aloe vera and chamomile. One range, head to toe.

No — and that's why Mamave exists. Natural doesn't automatically mean safe for pregnancy or for newborn skin. Mamave goes beyond traditional natural skincare: each product is developed using cosmetic science to support delicate skin at every stage, from pregnancy through to newborn care.

The ingredients most commonly avoided during pregnancy are retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), parabens and synthetic fragrance. Every Mamave formula leaves all three out, so you never have to decode a label — and if you're unsure about a product from another brand, your healthcare professional can advise.

Hormones. As they shift, skin can become drier, tighter, itchier and more reactive than usual — hormonal breakouts and new sensitivities are common. That's why pregnancy skincare should be gentler and more supportive than your usual routine, not just the same products with a different label.

Mamave is designed for delicate, reactive skin — pregnancy skin is sensitive skin. Formulas avoid synthetic fragrance and harsh additives, and many customers use the range on children with sensitive skin. As with any skincare, patch test first and check with your healthcare professional if you have a diagnosed skin condition.

From newborn. The Bubba range is formulated for newborns, babies and young children — gentle, pH-balanced care for delicate new skin, from the very first bath onward.

Bubba's Barrier Cream. Apply a thick layer to your baby's bottom or other rash-affected areas — its zinc oxide formula creates a breathable barrier between a wet nappy and delicate skin, protecting against moisture and irritation from rubbing.

Bubba's Massage Oil is formulated to gently support cradle cap care. Warm a small amount in your hands and massage gently — its plant-derived oils with calendula and aloe vera soften and soothe delicate skin.

Warm a small amount of Bubba's Massage Oil by rubbing your hands together, then massage gently into your baby's skin, paying careful attention to their tummy, legs and arms. Daily massage is a beautiful way to turn everyday care into a calming ritual for both of you.

No — Bubba's Wash is a gentle all-in-one for hair and body. Coconut-based surfactants cleanse mildly, calming calendula soothes, and it's pH-balanced for baby skin. One product, head to toe, every bath.

Retinoids, parabens, synthetic fragrance and unnecessary fillers. Formulas are scented naturally with essential oils such as lavender, frankincense and mandarin, and built on plant oils rich in vitamin E and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA).

Yes — Mamave is 100% Australian made and owned, and formulated here by a cosmetic scientist.

GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) is a fatty acid found in plant oils like borage seed and evening primrose. It helps support the skin barrier and relieve dryness — which is why you'll find GLA-rich oils across the range, from Mumma's Oil to Bubba's Moisturiser.

Essential oils, chosen for calm as much as scent: lavender and frankincense in the Mumma range, lavender and ylang ylang in Bubba's Moisturiser and Massage Oil, and naturally derived mandarin in Bubba's Wash.

A blend of plant oils rich in vitamin E and GLA: safflower, sunflower, grape seed, camellia, jojoba, argan and evening primrose — lightly scented with calming lavender and frankincense essential oils. Nothing else.

Squalane locks in moisture by mimicking the skin's own naturally produced squalene, so it hydrates without feeling heavy — ideal for daily use and gentle baby massage, alongside GLA-rich borage seed oil and soothing calendula.

Georgie — Mamave's founder, a cosmetic development chemist with a degree in Pharmaceutical Science and over ten years' experience working closely with children. She began developing the first formulas in 2021, and every product is developed with cosmetic chemists, scientists and naturopaths, then crafted in small batches in Australia.

Yes — the range is vegan and cruelty-free, with no parabens, mineral oils, almond or peanut oils, and completely SLS and SLES free (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate and Sodium Laureth Sulphate).

Most mums start with Mumma's Oil — massaged into the belly, hips and thighs up to three times a day to support skin elasticity through pregnancy and postpartum. For bub, Bubba's Wash is the gentle all-in-one for bath time. Bundles are the best-value way to try the full ritual.

A simple three-step routine for mum: soak with Mumma's Soak to unwind, massage Mumma's Oil into changing skin, then seal in hydration with Mumma's Moisturiser. When bub arrives, the Bubba range carries the same care through bath time and beyond.

Mumma's Oil is a concentrated massage oil for supporting skin elasticity and the appearance of stretch marks — massaged into the bump, hips and thighs up to three times a day. Mumma's Moisturiser is a daily cream with vitamin C-rich pomegranate and cranberry extracts for everyday hydration. Many mums use both: oil first, moisturiser to seal it in.

Bubba's Moisturiser is a daily cream — squalane and calendula to hydrate and calm dry skin after the bath. Bubba's Massage Oil is a light plant oil for daily baby massage and cradle cap care. Both are rich in GLA and scented with lavender and ylang ylang.

It's designed for use throughout pregnancy and postpartum — many mums build it into their routine as soon as skin starts stretching, applying up to three times a day to the belly, thighs, hips and bottom.
