They are phthalate free, sulfate free and preservative free. They do not use additives like lanolin, petroleum and mineral oil, which we commonly see in commercially-sold baby skincare products.


Snacks were served as Chef Dang Adrias of Avent demonstrated how to safely prepare food, and how to make yummy and healthy food at the same time.  Avent has over 30 years of clinical experience in baby feeding, extensively researching and testing products.  From this wealth of knowledge come smart innovations that make the biggest differences to moms and babies.


After which, Ms. Phoebe Te of Stemcord talked about how we could protect our children through cord blood banking.

It is backed and managed by trusted medical expertise both locally and abroad.
