These days, parents are more careful than ever about what they use on their babies. They don’t just grab any product off the shelf; they take time to read labels, research ingredients, and ensure that everything they choose is safe, gentle, and free from harmful chemicals.
As awareness about baby care grows, more and more families are looking for natural, plant-based, and baby-safe alternatives. This shift in mindset is driving big changes in the baby care industry, pushing brands to rethink their formulas and offer products that align with the values of modern parents.
One brand that’s leading this change is Mother Sparsh, a startup from Chandigarh, India. They’ve become super popular by making baby care products with traditional Indian ingredients that parents trust. In fact, over 5 million moms trust Mother Sparsh for their innovative offerings!
But how did this small company get so big? Let’s take a closer look at their story.
From a Small Idea to a Big Brand
Mother Sparsh was born in 2018 when its founders recognized a pressing issue—most baby care products on the market were loaded with harsh and synthetic chemicals, leaving parents concerned about their little ones’ safety. As they delved deeper, they realized just how challenging it was for Indian parents to find truly gentle, natural, and trustworthy products for their babies.
They also noticed that many Indian mothers continued to rely on time-tested traditions, like using cotton and water to cleanse their babies. However, the market lacked effective solutions that mirrored these gentle and natural methods while catering to the needs of modern parents.
This inspired them to create India’s 99% Pure Water Unscented Baby Wipes. These wipes are made with plant-based fabric and are as gentle as using cotton and water. They are unscented, meaning no added fragrances, and free from harmful chemicals. Plus, they are dermatologically tested, which means they are truly safe for babies!
To help parents try the wipes, Mother Sparsh gave out free samples in hospitals. This helped moms and dads see the difference for themselves. It wasn’t long before word spread, and Mother Sparsh became a trusted name in baby care.
Blending Tradition with Science
Mother Sparsh is different because they uses traditional Indian ingredients but with a modern twist. Their products are inspired by time-tested solutions that have been trusted for generations. Here are some of their best innovations:
- 99% Pure Water Unscented Baby Wipes: These wipes are based on the idea of using cotton and water, incorporating plant-based fabric and 99% pure water for gentle and thorough cleansing. They are 3 times thicker than regular wipes and are clinically tested to prevent diaper rashes. They’re also unscented (no added fragrances) and dermatologically tested.
- Tummy Roll-On: Made with hing and saunf, an old Indian remedy for colic and gas. It helps babies feel better when applied externally around their belly button.
- Turmeric After-Bite Balm: Uses the power of turmeric, which is known for its healing properties, in a balm to soothe insect after bites, reduce itching, and calm irritated skin.
- Simply Unscented Skin Care Range: This skincare range is specially designed for babies with dry and sensitive skin. With a pH of 5.5, it maintains the skin’s natural balance while being free from added fragrances, making it hypoallergenic. Enriched with oatmeal, it deeply nourishes and soothes irritation, keeping delicate baby skin soft and moisturized. The range also includes Simply Unscented Mineral Sunscreen, providing gentle, fragrance-free sun protection for sensitive skin.
- Natural Vapour Patches: Infused with eucalyptus and peppermint oil, these patches provide natural relief from nasal congestion and colds without the need for synthetic vapor balms. Perfect for babies and kids, just stick it on and move on.
These products remind parents of traditional home remedies, but they’re made with modern packaging and tested for safety.
Earning Trust, One Parent at a Time
Mother Sparsh knows that parents need to trust the products they use on their babies. That’s why they worked hard to earn this trust by:
- Offering Free Trials: They partnered with hospitals to let parents try their wipes for free. This way, parents could see the quality and safety for themselves.
- Listening to Feedback: They always listen to parents’ ideas and suggestions. For example, after many parents asked for products for older kids, they created the Kids’ Range with fun products like crayon-shaped hand wash.
- Building Connectivity Online: Mother Sparsh is active on social media, where they share real stories from parents, give helpful parenting tips, and connect with their customers. They also work with influencers to reach more parents.
One happy mom, Nimisha Bangal, shared, “All products of Mother Sparsh are too good, and quality-wise it’s much better than any other.”
Growing Even During Tough Times
The COVID-19 pandemic was hard on many businesses, but Mother Sparsh used the challenge as an opportunity to grow. As parents became more careful about hygiene, they trusted their safe and natural products.
Because of their direct-to-consumer (D2C) model, parents could easily buy their products online without any hassle. They also expanded to other cities, making it easier for parents all over India to get safe baby products.
In 2021, Mother Sparsh received its first funding from ITC, due to their growing reputation and exceptional products. After the investment, they launched new skincare and hygiene lines like the Simply Unscented Skincare Range, Kids’ toothpaste, and Crayon handwashes.
