If your baby was premature, or has a diagnosed skin condition, speak with your paediatrician before introducing any new product.
The five, side by side
What each one is for, which Indian condition shaped it, and when you would reach for it.
| Product | What it does | Condition it was built around | When to use | Texture | Size | Intended age | Allergy note |
|---|
Intended age varies by product — the wash, lotion and soothing cream are for 0–12 years, the massage oil for 0–5, and the rash cream for 0–3. If your baby was premature, or has a diagnosed skin condition, speak with your paediatrician before introducing any new product.
Every ingredient, in full
Each product page carries the complete list as printed on the pack — every ingredient, its role, and why it is there.
What is in it — and what never is
Every Tenderma formulation has two halves: the barrier and hydration ingredients it is built on, and the botanicals that enrich it. Open either half below, ask a question, or open any product for its complete printed list. We answer from our notes only — if we have not written something down, we say so.
Nineteen of the named ingredients. Ceramides and niacinamide support the barrier itself; panthenol, glycerine, hyaluronate and Aquaxyl hold water in it; taurine and betaine keep that water in the cell under a cleanser or a change of air; sodium gluconate catches the calcium in hard water and the glucosides clean without sulfates; zinc oxide sits on top of the skin in the nappy area while zinc gluconate works beneath it; colloidal oatmeal and allantoin settle a rough patch; vitamin E keeps the oils fresh and vitamin F puts back the lipid a wash takes off, the preservative pair keeps a jar safe at under 1%, and the ferment lysate leaves the skin’s own community alone. What is not drawn is the base — water, emulsifiers, thickeners, waxes and pH adjusters — and every one of those is on its product page too.
Pentavitin® performance figures quoted on this site come from the supplier’s own studies of the ingredient, not from a study of our finished product. Individual experience may vary.
Every plant on the labels. Aloe, chamomile, calendula, liquorice, oat and manjistha are there to calm; neem and tulsi are the wash’s traditional botanicals, neem standardised to its azadirachtin marker; coconut, almond, sesame, sunflower and jojoba are the oils a massage and a lotion are built on, shea the butter that slows water loss; sandalwood, Roman chamomile and vetiver carry the scent where a product has one; lotus, bala and ashwagandha arrive inside the classical Balaaswaganthadi Thylam in the massage oil; kelp is the carrier that spreads the ceramides evenly. Which product each one is in, and at what point in the list, is on that product’s own page.
Three exclusions, and what went in instead.
