What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent on size and weight: the title says 50g, unit count says 50.0 gram, volume is 50 Millilitres, and listed weights are 0.2 Kilograms and 198 g. The claimed fragrance-free scent also contrasts with customer feedback describing the fragrance negatively. Treat these as listing and feedback discrepancies, not confirmed product defects. Follow the instruction to avoid the eyes and mouth, and note the stated newborn condition of 3kg/6lb 10oz and over.
