Baby Body Care

Choosing Safe and Organic Skin Care for Infants

When caring for your newborn’s delicate skin, choosing products containing all-natural ingredients free of pesticides, chemicals, and other potentially harmful compounds is essential. This is because a baby’s delicate skin is more susceptible to irritation when exposed to allergens in skin and body care products. Therefore, natural body care that's fragrance-free, organic and do not contain artificial preservatives are best for babies.

Research has also shown that infants and babies have much thinner skin than adolescents and adults. Thin skin is more likely to absorb chemicals from the environment, body care and skincare products and anything that sits closely on the skin, such as clothing and diapers. Because of this, it’s essential to use exclusively certified organic products on your baby's skin to ensure optimal health and well-being and help reduce exposure to potential toxins.

The Advantages of Using Organic Skin Products for Babies

• Do Not Contain Chemicals—Gentle on Baby’s Skin 
• Hypoallergenic / Non-Allergenic
• Ideal For Dry, Sensitive, or Allergy-Prone Skin
• No Toxins
• Does Not Strip The Skin of Its Natural Oils

How to Select the Safest Organic Baby Care Products

Whether it be liquid soaps or bars, creams and lotions, liquid cleansers, skin oils, sprays, pads, or other skin care products, steer clear of products that contain these harmful ingredients: synthetic perfumes and fragrances, artificial colours or dyes, parabens commonly used as preservatives, which are endocrine disruptors, sulfates, which can cause dryness and irritation in your newborn’s skin, or formaldehyde, which can cause allergic reactions and even respiratory distress. 

Conventional baby wipes can be especially problematic because they contain a bevvy of toxic ingredients, including parabens, propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, and possible carcinogens like formaldehyde.

Instead, look for natural body care products that feature ingredients such as:

• Almond Oil
• Aloe Vera 
• Argan Oil
• Avocado Oil 
• Beeswax 
• Calendula
• Chamomile 
• Coconut Oil
• Galactoarabinan
• Jojoba Oil
• Oatmeal 
• Olive Oil
• Shea Butter
