Frequently Asked Questions

SMOO Buttergel is the newest addition to CHOSEN’s luxurious SMOO range of plant-based body moisturizers. Designed with love and care, it is a safe pediatrician-certified moisturizer for babies and at the same time, a premium preservative-free body butter for pregnant women and nursing mothers.
This product is designed to be your baby’s first moisturizer, offering nourishment for their delicate skin. SMOO Buttergel also doubles as a soothing massage gel, which can support your baby’s growth and development through the nurturing touch of a parent.
So, why the name Buttergel? The answer lies in its unique, nourishing buttery texture. It melts smoothly onto the skin, leaving it feeling soft and nourished, while helping you create a special bond with your baby during those tender moments of care.

SMOO Buttergel is made with one clear goal in mind: to give moms and babies an effective and nourishing moisturizer without compromising their safety. A baby’s skin is thinner and absorbs more than adults, so what goes on their skin matters a lot. That’s why we carefully formulated SMOO Buttergel without any preservatives, endocrine disruptors, microplastics or harmful chemicals, because avoiding early exposure to these things is highly important for a baby’s future well being.
We know how busy life can be for moms, which is why Buttergel is designed to work for long hours, so you don’t have to keep reapplying it. With the ‘Do More with Less’ concept, just a small amount gives great results, meaning less exposure for your baby and less effort for you!
We have also thought about the future, SMOO Buttergel is safe for the environment, so you are not only caring for your baby’s skin today but also for the planet and future pregnancies. The growing concern about ‘Plasticenta’ (microplastics reaching the placenta) makes environmental exposure a serious concern, but SMOO Buttergel helps you avoid that risk with a cleaner, safer formula.
And, it’s one of the few high-performance moisturizers that is completely preservative-free, giving you peace of mind with every use.

SMOO Buttergel is a must have moisturizer for both babies and moms because it addresses the unique skin needs of each. Babies have thinner, more delicate skin than adults, which makes it harder for them to retain moisture. This can lead to dryness and irritation, especially in those early months. SMOO Buttergel is formulated with high-performance plant lipids that boost hydration, reduce water loss, and help protect the baby’s sensitive skin by maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
For moms, pregnancy and nursing can bring hormonal changes that lead to dry, dehydrated skin, especially around areas like the belly where stretching occurs. SMOO Buttergel is not just a body butter, it is designed to be safe and effective, free from harsh chemicals and endocrine disruptors, providing much-needed relief from dryness and keeping the skin moisturized throughout the day.
And because it’s so versatile, SMOO Buttergel isn’t just for moms and babies, it is suitable for anyone with body areas prone to extreme dryness, making it a must have for your entire family.

SMOO Buttergel comes in an elegant eco-friendly glass jar, available in two sizes - 125 ml & 50ml, along with a glass applicator to help you apply the moisturizer hygienically.
The 125 ml jar is best for pregnant moms or when you are using it for both you and your baby, while the 50 ml jar is ideal if you are only considering it for your baby.
Buttergel itself has a rich, soft, gel texture and a pale yellow colour. When you apply it, you can notice its thick gel consistency melting beautifully into the skin. Also, it is fragrance-free, so it is as gentle on your senses as it is on you and your baby’s skin.

SMOO Buttergel is the best baby safe moisturizer in India, and here’s how it differs from SMOO Light and SMOO Fresh variants:
Key Ingredients: SMOO Buttergel is made with the goodness of olive butter and meadowfoam oil, high performance moisturizing ingredients renowned for their skin nourishing properties for babies. On the other hand, the Light & Fresh variants feature the delightful, sensorial experience of tucuma butter and meadowfoam oil, offering a refreshing feel to the skin.
Colour & Consistency: Buttergel has a thick gel texture that spreads easily and provides long-lasting hydration. In contrast, SMOO Light & Fresh body moisturizers have a lighter, lotion-like consistency that absorbs quickly, giving your skin an instant burst of hydration.
Fragrance: SMOO Light is fragrance-free, while Fresh has a refreshing phthalate-free scent. SMOO Buttergel is also free from added fragrances.
Suitability: SMOO Buttergel is designed for dry to very dry skin and is safe for babies, pregnant women, and nursing moms. On the other hand, SMOO Light & Fresh are best for those who prefer lightweight, non-greasy hydration and are safe for toddlers, children, and adults.

After your baby is born, they will be monitored by your pediatrician. Once you receive the go-ahead to start using moisturizer from your pediatrician, SMOO Buttergel is a safe choice to begin with. Made from natural, plant-based ingredients, SMOO Buttergel is free from preservatives and harsh chemicals, and it has received approval from pediatricians for use in babies.

For Babies:
Start by bathing your baby with a mild, baby-safe cleansing bar or body wash. Pat their skin half-dry with a soft towel.
Then use the dry and clean glass applicator to scoop out a small amount of Buttergel and gently massage it into your baby’s skin, focusing on areas prone to dryness.
It is best not to apply it to areas where sweat tends to accumulate, like skin folds and the groin.
For best results, apply within a few minutes after bathing and make this massaging ritual a part of your baby’s daily routine. Studies have shown that massage can support healthy growth and development in preterm babies and infants.
For Adults:
You can use SMOO Buttergel during the day if you are in an AC environment for long periods. Otherwise, it is best applied at night before bedtime. For pregnant and nursing moms, Buttergel is a great moisturizer to soothe dry, stretched skin around the belly region. Also, Buttergel is effective for targeting dry, rough elbows, knees, and cracked feet.
Pro tip:
If you have dry to very dry skin, apply immediately after cleansing when your skin is half dry to seal the moisture. But if your skin tends to sweat a lot, then apply SMOO Buttergel on completely cleansed and dried skin for best results.
SMOO Buttergel is preservative-free, so it is best to keep your hands and the glass applicator clean and dry to prevent contamination. Avoid using your hands directly to scoop out the product. After each use, wash the applicator with soap and water, let it dry completely and store it in a clean, dry place, away from dust and moisture. Please check the usage leaflet provided along with the product for detailed instructions.

To treat dry, rough knees and elbows, pair SMOO Buttergel with Milk Route Water-less lactic acid peel. First, exfoliate the affected area with the Milk Route Water-less DIY body peel, then follow through with a generous layer of SMOO Buttergel. For best results, use the body peel once to twice a week and apply Buttergel every day. If you are pregnant or nursing, limit the application of Milk Route® Water-less to 30 seconds once a week.

SMOO Buttergel can be a great body moisturizer to heal cracked feet. Here’s a quick guide to get the best results:
Daily Ritual – Soak & Moisturize: At bedtime, soak your feet in lukewarm water for 15 to 20 minutes. When your feet are still half-dry, seal in the moisture with SMOO Buttergel, then cover your feet with antiskid socks.
Weekly Ritual – Peel & Moisturize: Skip using scrubs and pumice stones, instead exfoliate with a lactic acid foot peel like Milk Route® Water-less once or twice a week. Leave it on for 5 to 6 minutes, rinse with a gentle body wash, and follow through with SMOO Buttergel for deep hydration. Avoid warm water soaking on days you use the foot peel.
