Loving parents attempt to do their very best for their baby and children in every area of their young lives. As parents, you are their protectors and guardians. Parents have the innate desire to gain as much wisdom as they can and apply it for the greatest good of their babies' and children's care. Come to know that your child’s baby skin care and natural hair care is a topic of importance. Your decisions in buying baby skin care products can affect your child’s health. Your baby needs not suffer from skin irritations nor lose his or her beautiful natural glow he or she is born with.
Baby Skin Care Research
A current report in Clinical Pediatrics reveals that more than seventy-five percent of newborns suffer rashes within the first few months of birth. Researchers suspect that contributing factors include the very products that promise to soften, clean, and moisturize children's skin. They note in their research, "Newborn skin is relatively more permeable to topically applied agents than adult skin. Therefore, the risk of systemic toxicity is much greater in newborns." If parents stop to read labels of supermarket and drug store baby skin care products, they will find that:
Many contain ingredients likely to be contaminated with formaldehyde, 1,4-dioxane, and possibly even nitrosamines, all of which are cancer-causing, highly irritating or both. Baby talc-based powders contain tiny particles that irritate the skin and may contain perfumes, a leading cause of allergy and irritation. Parents would be wise to avoid baby powders containing talc. Although baby powders are most frequently applied to diaper rash, there can be better ways. Allowing fresh air to get to your baby's bottom whenever you can reduces the likelihood of diaper rash. Also, most pediatricians specializing in natural skin care warn parents to avoid petroleum jelly, which traps moisture against the skin and is also a common allergen. If your baby has developed a diaper rash, bath his or her bottom with our award winning bubbly body bar soap. (Most pediatricians recommend avoiding antibacterial soaps.) Then use an all natural diaper rash cream, diaper rash ointment or our baby body lotion to take care of baby's skin irritations gently and quickly. A parent would be wise to use baby skin care products & natural hair care products free of artificial colors, synthetic fragrances and petrochemicals, which are themselves irritants.
Healthy Baby Skin Care
Look for baby skin care products that are pH balanced with healing herbs such as Calendula Oil which has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties and stimulates cellular regeneration of healthy skin. Other baby friendly healing herbs to look for in baby lotion are moisture-rich plant butters such as Cupuacu and Shea, which work to relieve dry skin.
Now available to parents are Happy Face & Body Lotion, which is free of cancer-causing chemicals and irritants and creates a soothing layer of protection for baby's tender skin. A gentle massage with our Body Lotion can be a loving experience for you both!
When using baby shampoo, a mild baby shampoo is best. Parents can recognize a good natural hair care baby shampoo by what it does not contain: synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, highly allergenic and irritating preservatives including quaternium 15, imidazolidinyl urea, and parabens. Our Silly Shampoo is an excellent all natural hair care product with a fresh clean citrus aroma and mild cleansing agents to give you a head of happy hair. Silly Shampoo includes a mild coconut derived cleanser; this is a mild, safe cleanser for kids' sensitive skin and hair that effectively removes surface oil, and dirt without stripping natural oils. This product is much safer than other supermarket or drug store products.
So what is the most sensible approach when it comes to baby skin care?
Overall, in the beginning months of life, let Mother Nature do her job without your newborn baby having to cope with chemicals. Although plain water on newborn skin is usually good bet, occasionally a small amount of baby bath and baby shampoo may be required. If so, use Skin Care Baby's all natural skin care products & all natural hair care. We specialize in All Natural, Organic skin care, which are made with safe and healthy Natural Botanicals, Herbal Extracts and Essential Oils for your baby’s delicate skin. They avoid toxic preservatives, foaming agents and other potentially hazardous ingredients. These products may be a little more expensive than the drug or supermarket brands, however they are completely safe, truly natural and non-toxic.
Baby Skin Care Tip
Parents, your basic baby skin care common sense message is: use small amounts of all natural skin care products for at least the first couple of months of your baby’s life. It would be best to consider this baby skin care principle when you use any other types of products in your baby’s environment as well. By doing this, your baby will have a chance for its own immune system to develop and come to be strong and healthy. I don’t believe you will go wrong with this very simple baby skin care message.
