Lena Loves… MD Moms Baby Silk CLOSED
Definitely topping the list of sought after products is the MD Moms Baby Silk line. The products, created by board-certified pediatricians and moms Dr. Diane Truong and Dr. JJ Levenstein, are the first pediatrician-developed personal care line for babies. And after spending a quarter of a century caring for children and advising thousands of new parents, they’ve truly created your baby’s prescription for healthy skin.
Why I trust the products:
Developed with pure, effective advanced ingredients
Gentle enough for sensitive skin but highly effective
Protect from environmental damage
Critical maintenance of skin’s natural moisture barrier
Promote bonding between parent & baby
Why I love the products:
Packaging & products thoughtfully developed
Products that do “double duty” by having a dual use
Modern aesthetics & smart design*
Specially formulated so small doses provide big results
*Okay, I have to talk about this first. You know how sometimes you come across a fabulous product – which just happens to be outfitted in really pretty packaging? And then, you can’t bear to hide it under the vanity, so you proudly display the item on your countertop? Well, that’s how much I love the modern aesthetics of Baby Silk products. With the irresistible combination of robin egg blue and brown, they’re constantly “on show” in the bathroom!
(Before you ask, we had a power failure when I took this picture. But since when did no lights stop a determined mommy? That’s why cameras have flashes!)
I had the pleasure of testing the following products: baby silk gentle all over clean hair and body wash, baby silk gentle all over clean cleansing towelettes (not pictured above – used them all up!), baby silk delicate skin comfort silky liquid powder, baby silk gentle scalp rub exfoliating cleanser for cradle cap, and baby silk soothing bottom relief diaper rash cream.
All I can say: WOW. These are honest-to-goodness the BEST baby products I’ve ever used (and as a product junkie, you know I’ve tried many!) They are fully, 100%, stop-reading-here-and-just-buy-everything Lena Approved. I won’t use anything else.
The hair and body wash is strong enough to clean away all traces of Ryder’s daily adventures in paint, jam and puddles of mud – yet thoroughly cares for his delicate skin without harsh chemicals or irritation.
I double duty the cleansing towelletes to remove my own traces of makeup, and give Ryder’s mouth and hands a good swipe when we’re on the go. (Please don’t laugh, but I can’t bear to use them on his bum. With their deliciously delicate scent and soft, touch-me texture, I’d rather use them on my cheeks than his!)
Now I’m one of those really lucky parents who never had to face a day of diaper rash. Whether this is because Ryder’s got super resilient skin, or because I’ve had the good sense to apply the soothing bottom relief diaper rash cream from almost day one, we’ll never know. What I do know – the cream smooths on white, then turns clear to provide an invisible moisture barrier and to protect, soothe, heal and moisturize all-in-one.
And here’s a tip: do not attempt to face a humid, sticky summer without the silky liquid powder. Designed to keep any fold or crevice comfortably dry and cool, it works wonders in those chubby little folds around the neck and knees (and a quick application on daddy’s feet before he plays basketball doesn’t hurt either!)
Finally, I haven’t had the opportunity to try the exfoliating cleanser for cradle cap just yet. After confessing to an almost OCD-like round of battling mild cradle cap with Ryder (for 2-3 months after birth, never more than a visual problem, yet always a thorn in this mommy’s side), MD Moms were incredibly thoughtful and sent me their gentle scalp rub so I would be well prepared when baby-to-be arrives in May. Thanks MD Moms!

Paraben-free, preservative-free and sulfate-free
Contain no phthalates, lanolin, mineral oil, petroleum, waxes, wheat or gluten
Tear free, clinically tested & hypoallergenic

baby silk daily skin protectionmoisturizing balm! my baby has very dry skin in this cold weather– looks like this would be great!
I'd love to try the SPF 30 sunscreen towelettes… they look so easy to apply for a natural-ingredient sunscreen!
Id like to try the gentle scalp skin rub!
OMG, I totally need to try the SPF 30 sunscreen towelettes . . . I loathe putting sunscreen on the munchkin (and myself for that matter) my hands are greasy for hours after . . .
I love the sunscreen towelettes … applying sunscreen when you leave the house, or car is ok … but re-applying while on the move is dangerous because sunscreen seems to leak more so then other products. So I would love these for the backpack! And the fact that they are natural is even better!
The SPF 30 sunscreen towelettes are amazing…no more spray lotions…wipe and go! :-D and who can beat the natural ingredients!
I think the silky liquid powder would be really easy to use.
Love to try the SPF 30 sunscreen towelettes- so easy and mess free to apply sunscreen on an active 2 year old !
I would love to try the baby silk protection moisterizing balm -although I'm well past the baby stage with my kids, I would love to try the product on my dry skin.
I like the baby silk gentle all over clean hair and body wash.I love two in one products, and the handy dispenser.mommakoala(at)cogeco(dot)ca
The daily skin protection moisturizing balm looks awesome. I'm always looking for better moisturizers that really work!!
Would love to try the hair and body wash… actually all of 'um for that matter. I want the diaper rash cream, the moisturizing balm, everything! :) I'm a woman – I want it all!
What a great invention – sunscreen wipes, no more greasy hands or really white children ;)
would LOVE to try the exfoliating cleanser for cradle cap! my son is almost 3 months old and i can't find anything that works really well for it
I really like the idea of the sunscreen towlettes. I would definitely buy this!
Love the packaging! Both my boys have extremely sensitive skin, just like their mama. I'd love to try the Baby silk gentle hair and body wash. I'd love to also try out the sunscreen towelettes in the summer.
Living in sunny Florida, I can see the sunscreen towelettes as a definite must!
The silky liquid powder looks like a really innovative product. Would love to learn more about it.
I would love to pass this along to some of my pregnant friends, the moisturizing balm sounds great!
the sunscreen towelette does sound pretty awesome
wow – nice gift set. like the cleansing towelettes – for a sensitive nose.
Our wee one sure could use the baby silk daily skin protection moisturizing balm – we've tried a few other products with little success. Fingers crossed…
I like the sunscreen wipes.filtercomm(at)cogeco(dot)ca
love the sunscreen towelets
the moisturizing balm looks good toosmilefest (at) yahoo (dot) com
I am very interested in this product. My first child suffors from excema so we are very carful with what products we use. Our newest family member is 6 months old and also has her brothers skin problems. We would love to try this product and see if it helps them.
I'm loving the baby silk babysafe sunscreen towelettes! I'm constantly chasing my son around with lotion and these towelettes would make our daily routine so much easier.katrinasevin(at)aol.com
The baby silk daily protection moisturizing balm and the sunscreen towelettes look great..
The baby silk gentle scalp rub looks great. It seems like it would be something different to try (and natural) for a nasty case of cradle cap!
The baby silk daily protection looks good and the sunscreen towelettes.
This looks like an awesome set of products. I can not wait to try them.
I am loving the sunscreen towelettes!! Easy, convenient and mess free. Just throw it in your purse and no worries of it accidentally opening and winding up all over your bag. Def on my "to-buy" list for summer time!!
Out of all the products, my Son NEEDS this! *Baby silk gentle scalp rub The lotion and aloe vera gel is just not working and his poor skin has taken a beating to eczema!
Wow, I could have used all these products for my daughter! But with another one on the way I will for sure buy them!
What a wonderful review. I'm always a little skeptical of using products that SAY they're good for babies skin because I think they're just trying to make a quick buck. But after reading this article I'm totally willing to try it. I just wish that I had heard about this product earlier. My son really could've used the silky liquid powder.
All of this sounds great! My 7 yo daughter has such sensative skin we can't even try clothes on off the rack without her breaking out. Now my 16 month old son seems to be doing alot of the same. And the sunscreen towelettes?! Wow! We live in a summer beach resort so how fabulous are they? Just for getting around town the sun beats down worse here it seams than inland. LOVE natural!
i would love to try the gentle scalp rub…cradle cap is so ugly.
I think all of these products sound amazing. I would really like to try the Baby Silk Gentle Scalp Rub. We are dealing with this with my 5 month old. The Baby Silk Daily Skin Protection Moisturizing Balm looks wonderful too. Especially when living in Northeastern Ohio. But any of their products would be wonderful to win.
It all looks great but I'm leaning towards the baby silk gentle all over clean or the baby silk gentle scalp rub since my 15-month-old STILL has cradle cap.
I HAVE TO HAVE the cleansing towlettes and the silky liquid powder…like NOW! Thanks for your trustworthy review!!! Loves it!
I think it is a toss up–the moisturizing balm for the dry, cold winter here in Michigan, and the easy to use Sunscreen Towelettes for summer beach weather. Those towelettes must be so much easier to use than the thick baby sunscreen!
i would love to try the SPF 30 towelettes. I think it wold make putting sunscreen on my 3 boys a lot easier and less messy!
I would love to try the Sunscreen Towelettes. They would be nice to bring along to the park at re-apply time. I have to use products like this and Vanicream on my 2 children as they have excema and very sensitive skin.
I would love to try the SPF 30 Sunscreen towelettes but the other products look amazing as well. The cleansing towelettes would be great as well.
would love everything it all looks great but if I have to pick one, the baby silk daily skin protection moisturizing balm would be the one, my lil girl loves to get all lotioned up when she gets dressed
All the products look amazing!
I would love to try the baby silk skin protection balm – going on liquid and drying to powder? What a great idea!
Wow! I would love to try the Baby Silk Daily Skin protection and the hair and body wash…my son has eczema and sensitive skin, this would definitely give me a variety instead of using only Aveeno to wash him.
Would love to check out the skin protection balm and the sunscreen towelettes. We have had many allergic reactions to sunscreens with my daughter and are still on the search!
I think the entire product line is brilliant, but I am most intrigued by the cleansing exfoliator for cradle cap.
