Created by two moms that also serve as pediatricians, MD Moms is a skin care line created for kids that mothers (and non mothers) can use. According to mdmoms.com, creators Dr. Diane Truong and Dr. JJ Levinstein’s use of pure yet effective ingredients has led to the creation of “babys prescription for healthy skin.” Cleverly encased in packaging that requires the use of one hand, MD Moms produced a line without the traditional baby smell. According to Dr. JJ “mothers can be reminded of the scent of their child without smelling like one.” Aside from helping babies maintain perfect skin, the line is actively involved with childrens charities and pro-bono clinical work.
