2AM shows some Skin for WaterWipes

For their first TV campaign, Skin, WaterWipes wanted to change the narrative of the standard, airbrushed baby wipe commercial, to show the beautiful realities of parenthood - the rashes, bumps and lumps, the glorious imperfections and challenges, not the pampered, filtered unrealities of perfect skin and model babies.

Together with The Brooklyn Brothers, WaterWipes called upon director Jason Lowe and 2AM to show babies’ skin in ways we haven’t seen before in national TV advertising, to present an intimate and truthful documentation of delicate, sensitive skin and real, everyday parenthood. Enlisting the phenomenal street casting of Anna McAuley and the breathtaking natural camera work of DOP Suzie Lavelle (Normal People), the team travelled across the country to visit ‘authentic’ families and babies of all backgrounds, ages and circumstances. 

Positive and inspiring, the film tackles taboos, explores the honest reality of parenthood and captures love to create a joyful celebration of imperfection and parental obsession.
