Parenting consciously in a city like Dubai isn’t always easy - but it is possible, and incredibly worth it. At Beaux Desert, we believe that small, thoughtful choices can shape a gentler world for our children.
Here’s how we’re raising our little ones sustainably, and what’s working for us right here in the desert.
Choosing Better Basics…
Start with what your baby touches every day. We stick to:
- Organic clothing & accessories from our own range at Beaux Desert
- Glass bottles & BPA-free dummies from BIBS Arabia (included in our gift bundles)
- Low-tox body care from Scoop Wholefoods - refillable shampoo, lotion, and more.
Simple switches make a big difference.
Shop & Eat Mindfully…
Conscious food choices are easier than you think:
- Organic Foods & Café is our go-to for fresh, certified organic groceries, they also have ‘BOGOF’ offers on their pizza’s in their cafes on a Tuesday which we LOVE!
- Scoop Wholefoods also stocks pantry staples, snacks, and non-toxic home cleaners. We love their ‘Dried Parak Figs”.
- Organic Living offer eco-safe cleaning products for every corner of your home - no nasties, no greenwashing.
Start with one shelf at a time - it adds up.
Create a Low-Tox Nursery…
Babies don’t need much - but they do need a safe space. We keep it simple:
- Organic mattresses & bedding from Heveya
- Wooden open - ended toys - fewer chemicals, more imagination. We love Grimms and Ostheimer. Both are available at ToyBox.
- Furniture and décor from Le Petite Marche, who curate a beautiful range of certified eco-friendly, ethically sourced pieces for mindful homes
Less clutter = more comfort
Spending Time Outside
Dubai has beautiful ways to connect with nature:
- Kite Beach bike track is a weekend favourite - we love our ‘Cargo Bike’ from the Adam Store. You can hire Careem Bikes and Yoyo’s Bikes also have a great selection for families.
- Al Qudra Desert is perfect for quiet family time and feeding carrots to camels.
- The Sustainable City is great for a walk and feeding the little selection of farm animals. Make sure to bring them some veggies!
As Sir David Attenborough reminds us:
"No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what
they have never experienced."
Let’s raise kids who love the earth because they’ve felt its magic.
Let Your Habits Speak
Eco-parenting isn’t about being perfect - it’s about being intentional:
- Reuse. Refill. Recycle.
- Talk about where things come from
- Lead by example - they’re always watching
At Beaux Desert, we’re walking this path with you - gently, thoughtfully, and always with love.
You don’t have to do everything. Just start somewhere. Every conscious choice, no matter how small, helps shape a better future for your child.
With love,
The Beaux Desert Family
