MANILA, Philippines — Following the FDA approval of its baby balm, Kamay ni Nanay entered the year with a renewed focus on safe, trusted baby care for Filipino families.

Previously known as vapor rub, the Kamay ni Nanay Baby Balm retains the same formulation and efficacy, now presented under a name that more clearly reflects its gentle, baby-safe use.

The FDA approval underscores the brand’s commitment to compliance, transparency and safety. The transition from vapor rub to baby balm was a clarity-driven decision aligned with regulatory standards, while preserving the formulation mothers have long relied on to help soothe baby’s cough, colds and discomfort.

Formulated with coconut oil, chamomile and lavender, Kamay ni Nanay Baby Balm is FDA-approved, G6PD-safe and suitable for babies one month old and up.

Its gentle, non-greasy formula supports soothing care for sensitive skin as part of everyday baby routines.

Complementing the baby balm is the Kamay ni Nanay Baby Calming Massage Oil, also FDA-approved and thoughtfully designed to support relaxation and bonding.

Enriched with chamomile, lavender and light mineral oil, its lightweight, fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula is ideal for gentle baby massage and calming bedtime routines, helping promote relaxation while strengthening the emotional connection between mother and baby.

Together, Kamay ni Nanay Baby Balm and Baby Calming Massage Oil form a trusted baby care duo inspired by aruga and strengthened by FDA approval.
