Mumma Approved

What does clean beauty actually mean… and how do we know if a product is truly safe for both mumma and child?In this episode of Mumma Approved, we sit down with Meher Jadwani, founder of Dearist, to talk about skincare, wellness, ingredient labels, and the choices we make for ourselves and our children.What makes this conversation so important is how Dearist looks at products differently — not as separate “mom products” and “baby products,” but as clean, gentle, thoughtful formulations that can support both. From aloe vera gel to rosewater, belly and body butter, and other simple everyday essentials, Meher explains how one product can often work beautifully for mumma and baby when the ingredients are safe, honest, and well-formulated.We also talk about why kids don’t need harsh actives, why fragrance in children’s skincare needs more awareness, and how beauty should come from a place of self-care, not insecurity.If you’re a parent who reads every label, questions every product, and wants safer choices for your family, this episode is for you 🤍Watch the full episode now.Like, comment, and subscribe for more honest parenting, wellness, and mumma-approved conversations.#cleanbeautyindia #parentingpodcast #mummaapproved #skincaretruth #indianmoms[clean beauty india, dearist brand, meher jadwani podcast, safe skincare for kids india, mom and baby skincare, natural skincare india, baby safe products india, toxin free skincare india, clean beauty for mothers, parenting podcast india]
