Description:

Millie Moon is redefining premium in the baby care category—proving that beautiful design and high performance don’t have to come at a luxury price.

Launched exclusively at Target in 2021, the brand has rapidly become the #1 most productive diaper and training pants brand at Target USA, combining award-winning product performance with a visually elevated experience that resonates with modern Millennial and Gen Z parents.
In a crowded category, Millie Moon introduced a quiet revolution: muted palettes, bespoke illustrations, and elegant, nursery-worthy packaging that reflects the care inside. Every design detail is intentional—from the signature CloudTouch™ softness and dermatologist-tested materials to a considered claims panel that builds trust and confidence.

Recognised by Target and Bain & Company as a category leader, and now expanding globally, Millie Moon is proof that thoughtful design can disrupt an established category, build emotional connection, and make premium care feel truly accessible.
