Sometimes the simplest solutions are also the most effective. Heilwol is a traditional natural product that has been used for many years to support sensitive or irritated skin.
Petit&Jolie’s heilwol is made from washed lambswool sourced from a sheep flock in Drenthe. The wool naturally contains lanolin (wool fat), a substance known for its soothing and protective qualities.
Thanks to the combination of breathable wool fibers and natural lanolin, heilwol helps keep the skin comfortable and supports the natural healing process.
Many parents use heilwol for red buttocks, diaper rash, or navel healing. It is also often applied during breastfeeding for sensitive or sore nipples.
The wool is processed artisanally and ecologically by Purewol and is completely microplastic-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Heilwol is often used for:
- diaper rash
- red buttocks
- sensitive skin folds
- healing of the navel
- cracked nipples
What is lanolin?
Lanolin is the natural wool fat found in sheep’s wool. It helps keep the skin supple and is known for its soothing properties.
Can I use heilwol multiple times?
Yes. When kept clean, it can often be used a second time after being left in the sun for a day.
Is heilwol safe for babies?
Yes, heilwol has been used for babies for many years. Use it only on intact skin and not on open wounds.
Why we gladly recommend this product
As a neonatal nurse, I see daily how sensitive a baby’s skin can be. Sometimes natural solutions offer surprisingly much comfort. Heilwol is one such product, used for generations and still cherished by parents.
A soft baby hair brush in beech wood with natural goat hair. Engrave a name and a small icon. For the quiet moment after the bath — and a keepsake that stays.
The moment after the bath
Your baby lies warm and freshly washed on the changing table. The eyes grow heavy. This is the moment you both come to rest.
A few soft strokes over the head belong here. Not for the hair — there is barely any yet. But for the touch.
Why that touch matters so much
In my years in neonatal care I saw it every day: calm, repeated touch helps a baby settle. Breathing deepens, the hands unclench, the whole body softens.
Natural goat hair gives exactly that light stimulus. Soft enough for newborn skin, including around the fontanelle.
Also for dry flakes on the scalp
Many babies develop dry flakes — cradle cap — in the first months. With soft, circular movements, ideally after the bath and with a drop of oil, you loosen them gently.
No scratching. No pulling.
With your baby's name
The back can be engraved with a name, a small icon, or both. A care moment becomes a small ritual — and the brush becomes something that is kept.
Prefer it plain? Leave the name field empty. The back then stays blank, with only the Moalie logo.
Why parents choose this brush
- Soft enough for the very first days, including around the fontanelle
- Helps your baby unwind as part of the bedtime routine
- Loosens dry flakes gently, without irritation
- Natural materials — wood and animal hair, no plastic
- Light and steady in the hand, even one-handed
- Stays beautiful for years and is often kept as a keepsake
How to use it
Brush with light, round movements from the forehead backwards. Two to three minutes is enough.
The loveliest moment is after the bath or just before sleep.

Frequently asked questions
Is goat hair soft enough for a newborn?
Yes. Goat hair is one of the softest natural hair types and gives way with the skin. You feel almost no resistance.
May I brush over the fontanelle?
Yes, with a light hand. The fontanelle is protected by a firm membrane. No pressure is needed — this is about touch, not combing.
Does it help with cradle cap?
It gently loosens flakes that are already coming away. Do this after the bath, when the skin is soft. Never force anything that is still attached.
How do I keep the brush clean?
Tap it out after use and brush it through dry now and then. Do not submerge the wood or the hair in water; it stiffens the fibre.
Can it be sent as a gift?
Yes. The brush comes in a canvas Moalie pouch and makes a natural newborn gift. Engraved orders have a longer delivery time.

Usage advice

Safe for your baby and the world
Safe, certified materials – OEKO-TEX® certified, mulesing-free merino wool and organic cotton.
The first few weeks are about closeness. Feeding, sleeping, skin-to-skin contact. Care should fit calmly in between — not feel like a checklist to complete.
A newborn’s skin is thin and still developing. It protects itself better than we often think, as long as we do not interfere too much with its natural protective layer. That is why we choose less, but better: products that do something when needed, and that you can otherwise leave in the cupboard with peace of mind.
What you find here has been selected from hands-on experience. In neonatology, you see exactly which skin mainly needs rest and which needs a little extra protection — for a dry patch, a sore bottom, or during those first days when everything is still new.
Skin care
Gentle, pure and with a clear purpose. Calendula for dry, irritated patches. Healing wool for protection, known for generations in postnatal care and still one of the simplest solutions available.
Hair care
The first brushing is mainly a moment together. Soft goat hair glides over your baby’s head without pulling, making it comfortable for a sensitive scalp and cradle cap. Many babies visibly relax — it resembles stroking, and that is exactly how it feels.
Why parents choose these products
- gentle enough for the very first days
- natural materials and ingredients, without unnecessary additions
- chosen from experience in neonatology, not because of a trend
- helpful for dry skin, sore bottoms and sensitive scalps
- you only need a little, so it lasts a long time
- beautiful enough to give as a gift
Practical information
- Suitable from birth
- Store balm and healing wool at room temperature, away from direct sunlight
- Brush: shake out after use, occasionally clean with lukewarm water and leave to dry with the bristles facing down
- The baby brush can be personalised with your child’s name
Frequently asked questions
Does a baby need skin care products every day?
No. Healthy baby skin mainly needs rest. Water is usually enough. Use balm or healing wool where needed: on a dry patch, a sore bottom or an area that needs a little extra protection.
From what age can I use these products?
From birth. They have been chosen for their softness and simplicity, precisely because the skin is still finding its balance during the first few weeks.
Why a goat-hair brush?
Goat hair is softer than most baby hair itself. It moves gently, does not pull and does not irritate the thin scalp — even over the fontanelle.
What can I do for a sore bottom?
Change diapers more often, let the skin air-dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of protection. Healing wool works surprisingly well for this. If it lasts longer than a few days or you notice blisters, consult your child health clinic or GP.
Is this suitable as a baby shower gift?
Very much so. It is small, personal and genuinely useful — especially the personalised brush.
Care does not need to be elaborate. Gentle and well timed is enough.
